Into the thread take-up lever from right to left. E. Down behind the thread guide. F. Behind the-needle clamp thread guide. G. Through the needle from front to backFig.
DRAWING UP BOBBIN THREAD Hold the top thread with a slight tension in your left hand and rotat e the hand wheel towards you so that the needle goes down and up again, then gently pull your thread out towards the rear and under your sewing foot and you are ready to start sewing. %— CHANGING SEWING DIRECTIONS 1. Lower needle down into fabric and raise presser foot, pivot the fabric around the needle to change direction as desired. —10— 2. Put down presser foot and start to sew.
ADJUSTING UPPER THREAD TENSIO N It is only normally nece ssary to adjust the upper thread tension to achieve the correct balance between the upper and lower threads. The higher the number on the dial the greater the tension.
REGULATING THE PRES SER FOOT PRESSURE 1. Adjust lever to desire d pressure. For light fabrics use 0.1, for me use 1-2, for heavy fabric dium fabrics s use 3. 2. Insufficient pressure may cause poor fee ding, skipped stitch in guiding the fabric. es, or difficulty 3.

SEWING (PATTERN SELECTOR> AND OPERATION TABLE —14—
TO START SEWING Important Hints. 1. Raise the take-up lever to its highest position when starting and stopping sewing. 2. Hold both threads about 10 cms to the rear of machine for the first two or three stitches. 3. Sufficient fabric should be placed unde r needle before lowering presser foot. 4. Depress foot/Speed control and start to sew. 5. Test the machine stitches on a scrap of fabric you plan to use, adjusting the machine for the length of stitch and tension suitable to your fabric. Attention. 1. 2.
TO FINISH SEAM S 1. Sew to the edge of seam. 2. Push the reverse button and sew in reverse for about 3—4 cms. 3. Raise needle to its highest position. 4. Lift presser foot and pull out the fabric to rear of machine. 5. Cut threads as shown on the thread cutter.
BLIND HEMMING (optional) Fold the fabric as illustrated with the “wrong ’ side facing upwards.(I) Place the folded fabric under the foot as shown . Turn the hand wheel towards you by hand, until the needle swings over to far left. It should then just pierce the fold of the fabric. (2) If it does not, t adjust the position of the fabric. Once the correct position àf the fabric has been set, position the “guide” of foot (3) up against the fold (2) by turning the nut (4).
THREE STEP ZIG-ZAG The three step zig-zag stitch has a wide range of sewing applications, such as pitching, darning, repairing tears, mending, sewing on elastic and lace, oversew ing edges etc. on a wide range of fabrics. The illustration shows patching, where the stitches are to the edge of the patch and a tear, where the stitches go firstly over the centre of the tear and then to either side but overlapping slighly on the first row.
OVERCASTING EDGES For thicker fabrics E1J Both these stitches are designed to overlock the edge of a fabric. When the needle is at its extreme right position, allow t to lust pass over or I pierce the edge of the fabric according to the effect you require. Using the overcasting foot will prevent puckering of thin fabrics. To sew fabrics edge to edge seleci the multi zig-zag stitch.
STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH The straight stretch sews two stitches forward and one stitch backwards, thereby giving “triple” strength. Use it for stretch fabrics and for areas of “stress” where a strong stitch is required. (2A) TRIPLE ZIG-ZAG (RIC-RAC) STITCH The triple zig-zag stitch is a very strong zig-zag stitch used for seaming heavy fabrics such as canvas etc. It can be used to oversew edges where the seam has already been sewn by a straight stitch, or as an attractive decorative stitch.
SEWING ON BUTTONS Fit darning plate as described on page 12. Use button presser foot and attach firmly. Place button between presser foot and fabric and lower presser foot. Manually turn hand wheel towards you ensuring that the needle enters nto both holes of button without obstruction. (Increase or decrease width setting). 5. Sew about 7 stitches. 6. Pull both threads to the underside and tie together. 1. 2. 3. 4.
SEWING IN ZIPS Fit the Zipper foot. The Zipper foot can be moved to the ‘eft or right. (2> To sew on the right hand side of the zipper, move foot over to the right as illustrated and reverse the procedure to sew the left hand side of the zipper. (3) To move the “zip slider” out of the way, leave needle in the fabric, raise foot and slide it behind the foot. Lower the foot and continue.
BUTTON HOLE SEWING Fit the button hole foot Set the stitch length dial within the green marking to achieve the correct density (closeness) of satin stitch. (1) Sew in the sequence illustrated (1) selectinc patterns 18, 19, 20 and 19 again. USER TIPS Always sew a sample buttonhole on some spare fabric as settings will change according to the fabric used. For very thin, stretchy or other difficult fabrics, try using interfacing (vilene) or tissue or other paper underneath the fabric to aid machine feeding.
HEMMING (optioraI) A c, V — 1. Raise the foot and the needle to its highest position. Replace the toot with the hemmer foot. 2. Fold over the fabric edge by about 3mm and place it under the foot. Secure the folded edge with a few stitches. Take out the workpiece and draw the hem into the hemmer foot by pulling the threads. 3. Lower the foot and sew the hem. 4. During sewing, fold the fabric to the left a little and allow hemmer foot. it to run into the 5.
TWIN NEEDLE (optional) Thread machine as for normal sewrng using both spool pins and pass the threads through the same procedure but through the eye of each needle. NB. Sewing width should not exceed the third widest stitch width, exceeding this will result in breaking of needles. Suitable for stitch numbers 1, 2, 3 and 13 only. FREEHAND EMBROIDERY In freehand embroidery, unlike mechanically controlled stitching, feeding of the fabric is done by hand without assistance from feed dogs.
CLEANING OF RACE AND SHUTTLE HOOK Raise the needle bar to its highest point by turning the hand wheel toward you. Open shuttle cover. 1) 2) 3) 4) Take out the bobbin case. Unlock the shuttle race holder. Release the shuttle race cover. Take out the shuttle hook Clean dust and gummed oil off each part with an oiled cloth, When finished cleaning, reassemble reversing the above procedure.
