Gently depress the foot pedal and begin sewing.

Be sure the needle penetrates the pant leg on only one side. It may be easier to position the pant leg around the arm of the sewing machine with the table removed. If you sew through both layers, you will sew the pant leg shut!

Pause when you reach a pin, and remove it before continuing.

Do not attempt to sew over any pins. Hitting a pin can bend or break the sewing machine needle.
