The needle and the thread take-up lever should be in the highest position at the beginning and ending of stitching. Some sewing machines automatically complete each stitch. Others may stop in the middle of a stitch depending on when you lift your foot off the foot pedal. Turn your hand wheel toward you. first you will see the needle rise. Then you will see the take up lever rise to its highest position.

Next, hold your thread tails under and behind the presser foot when beginning to sew.
