Now that you are familiar with the controls on your machine and with the accessories provided for the machine, you are ready to start to sew with your new Kenmore sewing machine. Below are some good habits to follow each time you sit down to sew: , Test the needle -it should be straight, properly set and sharp on the point, It should be the correct size for the fabric and thread being used. Do not be afraid to change your needle frequently. Many of the new fabrics made of synthetic blends tend to dull the needles more easily than fabrics made of natural fibers. 2. Before placing the material on the machine, see that the ends of the threads have been drawn about 4 inches to the rear of the machine. 3. Test the machine stitch on a scrap of fabric you plan to use. The fabric should be dodble thickness, Adjust the machine for the length of stitch and tension suitable to your fabric. , Fabric should be placed under the presser foot with the bulk of the material to the left of the needle and the right edge of the material placed on the 5/8" seam marking on the needle plate when making a simple seam. ° Run the machine at a slow even speed. The more pressure you put on the speed control, the faster the machine will sew. . Fasten each seam by back tacking at the beginning and end of the seam. 7. Always finish sewing each seam with the needle at its highest point. o Guide the fabric gently with your hand in front of the needle. Never pull or hold the fabric in such a way that the normal feeding is altered. 9. When turning the hand wheel manually, always turn it toward you. GARMENT CONSTRUCTION STITCHES ....

Permanent stitching -This is the actual stitching that holds the garment together. Much of this stitching is visible on the outside of the garment and therefore must be good looking. The best length stitch to use for medium weight fabrics is 10-12 stitches per inch. This is in the middle range of the Stitch Length Control. You must remember to lengthen the stitch for heavier fabrics, multiple layers of fabric and thicker seams. Some of these seams are: Common two layer seams Curved two layer seams Top stitched three layer seams Top stitched four layer seams When you have two seams crossing each other with considerable thickness, sew slowly and carefully so the seam will be as strong as possible in this area. FASTENING A SEAM Be sure both threads are drawn back under the presser foot. Lower needle into fabric about 1/2 inch from beginning of seam. Turn the reverse stitch control clockwise and stitch in reverse until needle reaches beginning of seam. Release control and complete seam. When you reach the end, turn the control clockwise and sew back over 1/2 inch of completed seam. 26 TURNING A SQUARE CORNER To turn a square corner 5/8" from the fabric edge, stop stitching with the needle tip piercing the fabric, when reaching the cornering guide as shown.
