Place both feet on the treadle as illustrated. Turn hand wheel over toward you, allowing your feet to move freely with the motion of the treadle. Prac tice this motion until you are able to start and keep the machine in operation with the hand wheel turning toward you. Remember that the faster you operate the treadle, the faster the machine will sew.
