Sewing rules and guidelines provide instructions for proper sewing technique. They advise to pull threads under and behind the presser foot before beginning, keep the hand wheel turning towards you, and keep fingers away from the stitching line. The document also notes to keep the presser foot down, not force the fabric, use the thread cutter or shears to trim threads, and watch the seam guide rather than the needle for an even sewing line.

Sewing Rules and Guidelines
1. Before beginning to sew, pull threads under and back behind the presser foot about 3 or 4 inches.
2. The hand wheel always turns towards you, even when stitching in reverse.
3. Keep fingers several stitches away from the stitching line; keep them flat on the machine to the sides of the presser foot.
4. The presser foot must always be in the down position for sewing.
5. Dont force or pull the fabric the machine will feed it automatically.
6. Use the thread cutter to cut thread tails or trim threads with shears as you work.
7. The take-up lever should always be at the top when beginning and ending a line of sewing.
8. Report any repairs needed.
9. Take pins out as you sew; DO NOT SEW OVER PINS.
10. Maintain a slow, even speed with the foot control.
11. Watch the seam guide as you sew (NOT THE NEEDLE) to produce an even sewing line.
12. When stopping in the middle of a line of sewing, put the needle down into the fabric to prevent thread loops. (PIVOT)
13. Keep the bulk of the fabric to the left of the needle when sewing so you can see the seam guides on the needle plate.
