Unpacking the MachinePlace the machine on the table

and remove the compartment

by drawing it out in the direc

tion of the arrow.

Connecting the Foot Controller

and Power CordBefore plugging in your ma

chine, be sure that the voltage

is the same as that of your

machine. The machine’s vol

tage is written on a plate at the

lower right of the machine.

Take out the foot controller

and push the plug into the

socket at the right end of the

machine.

Then connect the machine to

the house power supply.

Power and light can be put

“on” and “off” by pressing

the switch at the lower right

of the machine.

hand wheel and press down

the foot controller.The machine stops autornatically when winding is finished.

Return the spindle to its for

mer position and tighten the

stop motion knob.

lf you notice that the bobbir

is wound unevenly, as in Fig

I and III, loosen the set-screv

of the pre-tension device wib

the small screwdriver, arc

adjust by letting the pre

tension device up or dowruntil the winding become:

inserting the BobbinWhen the bobbin is wound,place it inside its case. Makesure that the thread runs in thedirection of the arrow.

Threading the Lower ThreadSlide the thread into the slotof the bobbin case.Pulling the thread to the left,pass the thread under thetension spring.

Pass the thread through thebobbin thread guide.

Checking the TensionComplete the threading of thelower thread. Take out theend of the thread from thebobbin thread guide.Place the bobbin and thebobbin case on your palm.Pick it up by the end of thethread and shake it gently.At the proper tension, thebobbin case will gradually drop

a small amount.

It is straight.The gap is even.

Improper needle

Bent needle.

Blunt point.

Inserting the Bobbin Case

Be sure the needle is above the

needle plate.Push the bobbin case into the

rotary hook, holding the latch

of the bobbin case with your

thumb and index finger When

the boboin case is inserted,

close the latch.

Checking the NeedleAlways use a straight rieedie

with a sharp point. If the

needle is bent or hds a blunt

point, change the needle.Using

defective or worn needles not

only causes stitch skipping,

breakage of needles, oi

snapping of thread, it alsc

can damage the rotary hook

and the needle plate.

Changing the NeedleWith the needle bar in thE

highest position, loosen tnEneedle cldmp screw. Take ou

the needle to be changedInsert a new needle as far ait will go, with the flat facEaway from you. Tighten thEneedle clamp screw firmly.

5. STRAIGHT SEWING

We begin by sewing a straight

stitch which is the stitch most

frequently used for seams.

Set the machine as shown

opposite.

Starting SewingWith the presser foot up, turn

the hand wheei towards you

and put the needle into the

material about lcml3,8”) in

from the bottom edge.

To reinforce the seam at the

beginning, sew in reverse to

the bottom edge of the

material.

After a few stitches of reverse

sewing, release the reverse

sewing button arid commence

forward sewing by gently pres

ing down on the foot controller.

It,

Foot ControllerThe speed of the machine i:regulated solely by increasinçor decreasing pressure on thifoot controller. You shouldnever try to increase the feedng or slow it down by pulling the material.

Turning CornersSlow the speed as you approach the corner and stopstitch away from the corner.Then turn the hand wheeltowards you manually to position the needle in the materiaat the pivot point.

Raise the presser foot anturn the material with thneedle in. Lower t[ie pressfoot and sew forward in thnew direction.

Ending a SeamAt the end of a seam, presthe reverse sewing buttonsew a few stitches for reirforcement and stop the machine when the take-up levEis in its highest position.

Raise the presser foot an

remove the material away fromyou. Cut the thread with th

thread cutter at the back

the presser bar.

Cloth GuideThe cloth guide is used whensewing a seam with a certaininterval from the edge. Setthe guide in the hole of thearm, right to the needle plate,and adjust the distance.Run the machine with theedge of the fabric toucningthe guide. Position the clothguide at an angle to sew acurved seam.

Thread Tension AdjustmentPerfect tension: The tensionon tie upper and the lowerthreads should be equal andstrong enough to lock boththreads in the centre of thework.

Your machine has been testedwith the thread which accompanics the machine, lt maybe necessary to adjust thethread tension somewhat ifyou use thread of a differentthickness.

Upper tension too tight: If theupper thread lies straight alongthe upper surface of the material, decrease the tension by

Patching Non-Elastic MaterialCut out a patch large enougfto cover the worn out parcompletely. Sew along thEedge of the patch on the righside. Tom away the worrpart close to the seam.

Patching Jersey MaterialReduce the pressure of thpresser foot a little to preventhe material stretching totmuch. Pin the patch onto thEworn part and sew It is recommended to place a piece apaper underneath the material

14. EDGE-TO-EDGESTITCHING

Set the machine in the sameway as for patching.

Sew carefully, keeping the linewhere the materials together inthe centre of the foot.

15. FAGOTING

Seam edges joined with fagoting are a delicate addition toblouses, dresses, lingerie, andchildren’s clothes.

Fold the edges of the twopieces of material and press.Tack the folded edges to apiece of thin paper, leaving aspace between them, so thatthe stitches catch into thematerial fold on alternate sides.When finishing sewing, remove the tacking and gentlypull the paper away.

16. ELASTIC STITCH

For Heavy Stretch MaterialUse triplelock stitchlU, whichhas stretchability and strength.The stitch is particularly usefulfor sewing seams where addedstrength is needed, i.e., sleeveinsertion, as well as for sewingjersey and other stretch material.

For Light Stretch MaterialSet the machine as shownopposite

It is recommended to reducethe pressure of the presserfoot a little.

A ball-point needle is essential.

Paper may be laid under knits

for smoother feeding.

Quick finish: To prevent unstitching, set the zigzag widthat “0” and proceed for a fewstitches.

Corded ButtonholesFor stretch fabrics such as

knits, a corded buttonhole is

effective to keep the finished

buttonhole in shape.Hook the filler cord on the top
