Technique - How To Lock The Stitch With A Singer 211G155?

[mworthan]

Hello,

I have a specific question regarding sewing technique with a 211G155. I have sewn with my Campbell needle and awl machine in leather for years but have recently purchased a machine to sew nylon and thinner goods. I have always locked my stitches on the Campbell by lifting the foot and making another stitch up, and over to the side of the last stitch. I know you cannot and should never try to reverse the Campbell.

Is it the same with this Singer without reverse?

Or, can I (by hand wheel) reverse the stitch to lock my starts and stops?

Thanks,

Mike

Noooooooooooooooooo! Lift the foot and place the next stitch back and overrun a stitch or two. Or turn the work around and lock it off.
