Snap-on presser foot
The presser foot No. 383,
which
accompanies the
machine, is applied for straight seams, zig-zag and a lot
of other utility seams. As you can see, it offers different
notches, sewing could be done accordingly. In case the
seam should be abt. 7 mm in width
(l/4),
let the material
run at the outer edge of presser foot, for straight seam.
The next step offers a seam of 4 mm of width
(
5
L ia),
and
the step inwards a seam allowance of 2 mm.
Changing the snap-on presser foot
The presser feet, which accompany the machine, have the
form of loose soles, which are held in place on the
presser foot 'ankle' by a spring. If you whish to change
the presser foot, turn the handwheel towards you,
until the needle is in its highest position. FRemove the
presser foot by drawing it towards you, while pressing
it
slightly downwards.
Slide the new presser foot over the front edge of the
ankle bracket as shown
in
the illustration. There is a spring
on the lower end of the ankle bracket. Slide on the
presser foot so that the round transverse pin on the
presser foot fits into the space between the bracket and
the spring. Then press slightly backward and downward
and the presser foot will snap into the correct
position.
Sewing foot for zippers
The sewing foot for zippers 989 is set in quite the same
way than the ordinary sewing foot.
The construction of this presser foot renders it possible
by either inserting
it
right or left of the needle to sew
both sides of the zipper without turning the material.
See page 20.
Changing the presser foot "ankle"
Certain presser feet cannot be constructed as loose soles
and then the ankle bracket must also be changed.
Make sure that the needle is
in
its highest position. Then
loosen the retaining screw at the left and take off the
presser foot.
