Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help.  I knew this was a binary answer, I'm glad I didn't "just try it'!

[Backstitching with a Consew 206RB-5]

Hi,

I'm new at sewing with a machine and I'd appreciate your input on this one!  I know that I need to back stitch 2 or 3 times to lock things in at the beginning of a line of stitching.  Is it critical that I use the reverse lever or is it ok to roll the hand wheel backwards on the 206?  I think I'd have more control if I use the wheel and keep things neater but if that is not cool with Consew, I'll use the lever only.

Thanks for  your help!

Tom
