• At this point, if you pull the thread up, you will see 3 small threads at the bottom of the knot.

Tie one more loop to create a double knot. If you sew thick fabrics or want to finish the seam more firmly, you can thread the needle through the stitched stitch to form another circle, then pierce the needle through and tighten it.

Lift the needle and cut the thread. You will use the hand crank to lift the needle and lift the presser foot, then slide the finished cloth out and cut the thread close to the end stitch.

• Cut the thread close to the fabric, not the needle, so that sewing can be continued. If the needle is cut too close, the thread on the needle may slip.
• Some sewing machines have side thread trimming notches. Just press the thread into this notch to cut it.
