5.2 Stitching Techniques
The Handy Stitch produces a single chain stitch. Guide the fabric slowly and evenly to maintain a straight seam. Do not pull or push the fabric forcefully, as this can bend the needle or affect stitch quality.

- Lift the presser foot and gently pull the fabric away from the machine, leaving a few inches of thread.
- Cut the thread, leaving a tail.
- To secure the chain stitch, pull the thread tail through the last loop of the stitch on the underside of the fabric and tie a knot.
