If you ore a beginner, slightly rotate the balance whee in sewing direction by hand when commencing to sew In this way you keep it from turning in the wrong direc tion and causing thread jamming in the shuttle race or thread breaking. 2. Winding the Bobbin (See Figs. 2 & 3) 1. Disengage the sewing mechanism by loosening ioc nut R. 2. Place bobbin 7 on winder spindle 4 so that the in on the spindle enters the slot in the bobbin. Fig.

Engage the bobbin winder by depressng ever 5. When treadling, the end of the thread wdl easily wind on the bobbin. The bobbin winder will stop automatically when the bobbin is filled. Fig. 3 Do not wind the first turns on the bobbin by hand as this would cause trouble if the bobbin is placed on tne spindle the wrong way.
6. Hold the bobbin in the bobbin case, pull the thread into the slot (Fig. 6), and draw it under the tension spring (Fig, 7), leaving a loose end about 1 inch long outside the bobbin case. Fig. 4 —— S Fig.

Insert the new needle with the flat side of its shank facing toward the needle bar and push it up as far as it will go. 5. Tighten needle clamp screw N. . Li N __/ ( Fig. 16 10. Setting the Length of Stitch The stitch length is regulated by moving the stitch regu.
The numerals on the left of the stitch reguloor scale indicate the length of stitch in millimeters (rangina from 5 to 25 stitches per inch). When moving the stitch regulator lever up beyond the zero mark, the machine will sew forward. For backtacking, the stitch regulator lever is to be set on R (for reverse). The stitch length may be regulated when sewing. When the stitch regulator lever is set at zero, the machine will not feed at cli. This position is used for embroider ng and darning.
For this purpose proceed as follows: 1, Loosen wing nut a and swing away race cover R so thot shuttle G becomes accessible in the race. 2. Turn the balance wheel until the shuttle is at the extreme right. 3. Remove the shuttle by gripping its center stud c with thumb and forefinger of your left hand. Fig. 17 Cautiously remove pieces of loose thread with a stiletto, rinse the shuttle race with cleaning fluid (kerosene), and apply sewing machine oil.
Complete disassembling of the shuttle race will become necessary from time to time when lint and dust have accumulated in it. 13. Dropping * he Feed Dog The Pfoff 30 has a feed dog for embroidering and darning. turn clockwise the knob (Fig. 2) bed plate in front of the arm sewing position by turning this which can be arcpped To lower the feed dog, which is located on the standard. It is raised to knob counter-clockwise.

The quilting gauge No. 25811 is a valuable help in pro ducing absolutely parallel seams and in quilting tea cosies and childrens quilts, and is indispensable for sewing blouses, childrens dresses and similar articles with elastic thread. (Figs. 19 & 20). The gauge is to be set at the desired distance between seams and its finger guided along the preceding seam. Fig. 21). I . A Fig. 21 A R 4778 16. The Hemmer Feet Ne. 25576 or Ne.
Hemming is greatly facWtated by the hemmer feet which are standard with each machine and have slots ” wide. They are so easy to handle that 2 i!.,” and Si, mmng wcrk wo urce yc o use them for your The only dfficuity encountered by beginners lies in commencing the bem Begin by inserting the edge of the fabric, preferably cut on the straight of the goods, into the scroll of the hemmer while the latter is raised.
hold the edge of the fabr;c between thumc crib fore finger of your right hand and feed just enougn material into the hemmer foot to fill out me scroi. The bulk of the material is pushed on with the left hand as the hem is sewn. This neDs in evenly feeding the fabric into the hemmer. To ovoid ugly corners at the end ot the hem, retard the feeding of the material shortly before the hem is finished by slightly pressing the fabric against the needle plate in front of tne snort hemmer toe. F:g. 22) 17.
Lay both pies togetner so that rhe face s:des are opposed and the top ply is short of the bottom ply by about /32 of an inch. Then, similar to feeding the mceriol into the hemmer, both plies are inserted into the felling foot with the right hand. Make sure that only the under materidf will be folded over he top piece and sewn on evenly. If too much fabric is fed into the felling foot, the top ply may be folded also and spoil the neat appearance of the lap seam.
Having completed the first seam, open out the pli and smooth the seam. Then insert the seam ridge into the felling foot an stitch ii down to the left. (Fig. 24). The lap seam thus made is exceedingly durable an looks very neat. Neither ply can creep ahead of tI other in this operation. 18.

Remember that “a stitch in time saves nine” and rein force spots that hove worn thin in lightweight materials with short stitches which are made with the machine running at high speed. Holes in heavier fabrics ore mended by underlaying a piece of thin fabric in a matching color. Three-corner tears and rips are darned by taking close stitches length and crosswise. çFig. 26). ‘- -3.-.. - — . .. • . ..
Larger holes are mended by inserting patches of selfmaterial. Cut the patch to fit the squared hole exactly and attach it to the material by stitching back and forth across each edge of the patch. For very large holes, the patches are cut larger than the hole and stitched to the material in the usual manner. Fig. 27 19. The Feed Cover Plate No. 25997 For embroidering and darning it is advisable to slip the small cover plate over the machine feed, even when the feed dog is dropped.
To do this, open the bed plate slide, slip hook a of the plate into hole b in the needle plate as shown in Fig. 28, and turn the plate over so that it covers the machine feed. (Fig. 29). Fig. 28 R 4487 Slightly press down the cover plate and push the be plate slide T bock over the other two hooks c and of the cover plate to hold it in place. (Fig. 29). 20.

(Fig. 33).
Take a stiletto and remove the packed lint from be tween the tooth rows and in the recess which receives me needle plate. D — Fig. 31 Fig. 32 A small brush will be very useful in removing dust. Ports that came in contact with the material should be kept free of oil to prevent soiling of the work. Do not forget to clean and lubricate the ports which ore arranged underneath the bed plate of the machine.

Loose ends of thread may cause hard running of the mechanism. The lacquer coat of the machine requires no special care. All that is required to preserve the gloss of the finish is to wipe the machine with a kerosene-soaked rag and then to polish it with a soft, woolen cloth. 21.
