Safety

Dangers Precaution
Sharp needle DO NOT put your fingers under the needle while working with the machine - use the presser foot as a minimum distance guide
Exposed moving mechanical parts Ensure the machine is turned off and disconnected from power when changing the needle, thread, or accessing any of the inner parts
Hot lamp DO NOT touch the lamp after the sewing machine has run for a while

Demonstration

The Tutor will show you during the introduction how to:

  • thread the yarn both from the bottom and the top of the machine
  • roll up custom threads on the spools
  • free up the yarn in case it gets tangled up
  • change the needle
  • change the presser foot
  • change the sewing direction
  • operate the machine


After the demonstration by the tutor, you will create a trial seam.
