BASTING
Set stitch length control lever at 4 for the longest possible Use a paper backing when basting very sheer fabrics.
REVERSE STITCHING
Raise lever for reverse stitching. Lower lever for forward stitching. (Raise or lower lever as far as locking knob will allow). It is best to begin and end most seams with reverse stitching, often coiled back tacking.
FASTENING A SEAM

Be sure both threads are drawn back under the presser foot. Lower needle into fabric about _ inch from beginning of seam. Push stitch length control lever up for reverse stitching. Stitch in reverse until needle reaches beginning of seam. Move stitch length control lever down for forward stitching and complete seam. When you reach the end, raise the stitch length control lever and sew back over 1_ inch of complete seam. 11
