Operating the Sew E-Z Rotate the handwheel to bring the needle to the highest position. Lift the presser foot and place fabric under the presser foot. Press the power switch to begin sewing. Don’t pull the fabric. Lower the presser foot.
Operating the Sew E-Z Controlling the Sewing Speed The machine has two speeds of sewing control. In the “H” position the switch is in, while in the “L” position the switch is out. We recommend using the slow speed at the beginning. When you become more experienced and feel confident controlling the machine, you can use the fast speed. Operating the machine without the foot pedal 1. Lift the needle (R) above the presser foot (F) by turning the had wheel (K) slightly in clockwise direction (away from you.
Operating the Sew E-Z Adjusting thread tension Tension for maximum performance has been set and adjusted at the factory. However, if you should find that stitches are too loose, or too tight, you can adjust the stitch. 1. Loosen stitch by turning the tension screw (Q) counter-clockwise. 2. Tighten the stitch by turning tension screw (Q) clockwise. Sewing heavier fabric may require loosening the stitch. Very light fabric may require tightening the stitch. 3. Bobbin tension cannot be adjusted.
Changing the Needle 1. Turn the handwheel (K) clockwise to raise the needle (R) to its highest position. 2. Loosen the needle clamp screw (O) by turning it counter-clockwise (toward you). You may need to use a short slotted screwdriver or small pliers. 3. Remove the needle (R) pulling down, away from the needle clamp(P). 4. Place the new needle with the flat side facing in against the needle clamp(P). 5. Push it gently as far up as it will go, and against the needle clamp(P). 6.
