INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR ZIGZAG INTRODUCTION Your Zigzag sewing machine is the product of many years of research and development m the field of household sewing machines. It b also the ultimate in efficiency, quality and design, yet its moving and wearing parts such as needles, bobbins, bobbin cases, hooks and so forth are standard and interchangeable with parts immediately at sewing machine stores throughout the world.
SAFE GUAEP THE ACTION OF YOUR MACHINE Make sure the balance wheel always turns toward the operator. ^ Never ^ run the machine with the presser foot in the down position without cloth between the presser foot and the feed dog. Never run machine when the bobbin case and the needle material under the presser foot. ^ are threaded ^ without first placing ' Caution, never try to help the machine feed by pulling the material through the feed. This will create a bent needle condition.
TO WIND THE BOBBIN It is necessary to understand the function of the Stop Motion by means of which the balance wheel is disconnected from the sewing mechanism, when required, thus permitting the winding the bobbin without sewing. , ,, u i vt, ft,,. hand a) Turn the stop motion knob toward you while holding the balance wheel with the left hand^ This will then permit the balance wheel to turn freely while the needle bar remains mo b) c) d) e) f) g) h) i) j) nicss.

THREAD TENSION For perfect stkch.ng, the tension on the upper and under threads should be equal, and ju« sufficiently strong to lock both threads in the center of the work lA). If rhe tension on the needle thread is too tight, or if that on the bobbin thread is needle thread will lie straight along the upper surface of the material making an imperfect s (B).

Regulating the the can stitch needle usually tension: he Minor corrected imperfections by varying in Decrease Tension • the needle tension onlv. I'o increase the tension, turn the thumb nut clockwise and to lessen the tension, turn the nut in the opposite direction. The tension ttdjust from 0 to in one 3B0 turn, with 0 being the lightest tension and 9 being the tightest.
ADJUSTING PRESSURE ON MATERIAL This is located on the top of the machine directly over the presser bar and presser foot. Pressuie on material must be varied according to the materials to be sewn. Instead of ordinary Presser Regulat ing Thumb Screw', this machine is equipped with Darner (Patch-O-Matic) for quicker and easier adjustment of pressure of presser foot on material. The pressure wall be increased simply by pressing downward on the top of regulator until the desired tension is obtained.
ADJUSTING THE STITCH In order to change length of stitch, this machine can be adjnsted to make to ”5” indicated by the nnmerals on the stitch indicating triew-finder, with ”1” being the smallest stitch and ”5” bong the longest. ^ To set the stitch properly, turn the dial until the ^ desired number appears in' the view-finder and the number corresponds todesired stitch length. ; A little experience witt teach you which number giyes you the proper stitch for whatever material you are working with.

Fig. B Fig. A ^ Wrong side \ oi material \ (B) Illustrates another way of blindstitching. Firstly, place the fabric under the presser foot so that the folded part runs along the right edge of the foot. Adjust the machine so that can do a straight sewing as in an ordinary manner. This way of blindstitching is to perform four to six straight stitches and one ZIGZAG stitch to right in succes.sion.
QUILTING Set machine as for sewing without Automatic Mechanism. ZigZag Stitch Dial: At 0 position. Stitch Length Dial: Any desired length. Upper Tension : Normal. Fresser Foot: Zigzag Stitch Hinged Foot Quilting Attachment. . First of all, attach adjustable quilting stitchguide to presser foot bar, as shown. Place fabric under presser foot and line it up under needle on line to be stitched. Move curved guide bar to right as far as necessary to mark desired line of parallel stitching.
BUTTON HOLES Use Buttonhole* foot. Set zigzag stitch dial to 2 to 2.5 position.
