Tips & Warnings
Be patient and sew slowly at first. If the foot pedal is pressed too hard, the sewing machine will stitch too quickly and you may lose control of the machine.
Do not push or pull the fabric when sewing. This can misalign the stitches and stretch or pucker the fabric.
Do not leave the sewing machine unattended when powered on. The machine can be dangerous if misused or handled improperly. Be careful to avoid the moving parts, including the needle when in use.
