as the thrad take-up lever, handwheel or needle.

Always turn off the power switch and unplug from the

power supply:

– when leaving the machine unattended.

– when attaching or removing parts.

– when clearning the machine.

Do not place anything on the foot control, otherwise the

machine will run intermittently.

Presser Foot Lifter

The presser foot lifter raises and lowers your presser

foot.

You can raise it about 0.6 cm (1/4˝) higher than the

normal up position for easy removal of the presser

foot or to help you to place heavy fabric under the foot.

q Normal up position

w Highest position

CAUTION:

Turn off the power switch when changing a presser foot.

To Attach and Remove the Presser Foot

To remove

Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the needle to its

highest position.

Raise the presser foot.

Press the lever on the back of the foot holder.

The presser foot will drop off.

To attach

Place the presser foot so the pin on the foot lies just

under the groove of the foot holder.

Lower the foot holder to lock the foot in place.

q Pin

w Groove

Changing Needle

CAUTION:

Turn off the power switch when changing a needle.

Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you

and lower the presser foot.

Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it counter-

clockwise.

Remove the needle from the clamp.

Insert the new needle into the clamp with the flat side

away from you.

When inserting the needle into the clamp, push it up as

far as it will go and tighten the clamp screw firmly with the

screwdriver.

* Check your needles frequently for barbed or

blunted points. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and

silk-like fabrics are permanent and are almost always

caused by a damaged needle.

Place the flat side of the needle on something flat (needle

plate, glass etc.). The clearance between the needle and

flat surface should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt

needle.

When the bobbin is fully wound, stop the machine.

Return the bobbin winder spindle to its original position

by moving the spindle to the left, and cut the thread.

7 Push the handwheel to the left. (original position).

Threading Bobbin Case

1 Place the bobbin into the bobbin case.

Make sure the thread unwinds in the direction of

arrow.

2 Pull the thread into the bobbin case slot.

3 Draw the thread under the tension spring and into

the delivery eye.

* Leave about 10 cm (4˝) of free thread.

Threading the Machine

3 Pull 15 cm (6˝) of both threads back and under the

presser foot.

Balancing Needle Thread Tension

1 Correct tension

The thread tension is adjusted depending on the

sewing materials, layers of fabric and sewing

method.

* The ideal straight stitch has threads looked

between two layers of fabric, as illustrated

(magnifies to show detail).

* For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does

not show on the right side (top side) of the fabric,

and the needle thread shows slightly on the wrong

side (bottomside) of the fabric.

2 Needle thread tension is too tight

The bobbin thread (bottom thread) will appear on

the right side (top side) of the fabric.......Loosen

the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a

lower number.

3 Needle thread tension is too loose

The needle thread (top thread) will appear on the

wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric.......Tighten

the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a

higher number.

SECTION 3. BASIC SEWING

Straight Stitch Sewing

z Raise the presser foot and position the fabric with its

edge lining up with a seam guide line on the needle

plate.

Lower the needle into the fabric.

Lower the presser foot and smooth the threads toward

the back. Depress the foot control.

Gently guide the fabric along the guide line letting the

fabric feed by itself.

x For fastening the end of seams, press the reverse

stitch button and sew several reverse stitches.

Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric, drawing

the threads to the back.

c Draw the threads up and into the thread cutter.

The threads are cut the proper length for starting the

next seam.

To change the direction

Stop the machine and turn the balance wheel toward you

to bring the needle down into the fabric.

Raise the presser foot.

Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing

direction as desired.

Lower the presser foot and continue sewing.

the handwheel counterclockwise.

2. Raise the presser foot and turn the fabric to line

the edge with the 5/8” (1.6 cm) seam guide.

3. Lower the presser foot and begin stitching in the

new direction.

Line up the fabric edge facing you with the

cornering guide shown.
