measurable outcomes, ending a stitch
#Bring thread down into needle and thread through loop
#Hold thread backwards
#Put Keep Presser Foot Lifter Down Up (19)#Turn Hand Wheel forward to put tension onto footbed Footbed with needle (15)#Press Pedal until Thread from Bobbin comes As needle goes down, the bobbin should rotate allowing second thread to come up to connect
===Sew Material===
#Pull threads backwards#Put thread material between Foot & Footbed#Press Pedaland gently pull material as it threads
##weight on pedal correlates with speed of needle
#Gently pull out the bobbin holder (has a hook on it)
#Insert bobbin into holder
#Insert bobbin and metal holder back in by pulling clip forward
##make sure the tail of metal holder fits in the dent at top of circle
##make sure enough thread is left out to be grabbed above

=== Ending a stitch ===
To start and end stitches, it is recommended to do a reverse stitch so the threads while have enough tension to stay together.
 
# Finish where you want to end the stitch
# Hold down the reverse lever
# Hold down the lever, press the pedal, and do 1 or 2 reverse stitches in the same path you just sewed
# Lift up the foot (5, 19), and gently pull the material off the bed
# Cut your excess string.
# The end of your stitches should stay together without being tied<br />
