Page 19: Adjusting The Tension Of The Upper Thread
Adjusting the tension of the upper thread When sewing with straight stitch, the upper and lower threads are connected to each other between the fabric parts. 1. Select the appropriate tension for the thread tensioning disc by means of the thread tension adjusting wheel (10). (A) Newly adjusted value The lower the numerical value, the lower the tension of the upper thread. To lower the tension of the upper thread, turn the adjusting wheel as indicated in the figure on the right. The higher the numerical value, the higher the tension of the upper thread. To increase the tension of the upper thread, turn the adjusting wheel as indicated in the figure on the right. Tension of the upper thread with regard to zig-zag stitch: In order to achieve good results when sewing with zig-zag stitches, the tension of the upper thread should be lower than when sewing with straight stitch. The upper thread should be visible on the back side of the sewing part. Stitch pattern rotary switch 1. Move the needle out of the fabric. 2. Select the desired stitch pattern by means of the adjusting wheel (14). 3. For the elastic stitches (lower row), select the desired number by means of the stitch pattern rotary switch (14). By means of the stitch length rotary switch (13; see below), you adjust the lower stitch pattern row by positions 1-10. Buttonholes are sewed with the symbols (A), see page 25.

Page 20: Stitch Length Rotary Switch
The range between 0.5 to 4 is qualified for sewing zig-zag stitches. For sewing with an elastic stitch, the adjustment 1-10 is selected. How can the quality of the elastic stitch be improved? If this adjustment does not provide a satisfactory result when sewing with an elastic stitch, you can alter the stitch density by means of the stitch length rotary switch (13): • "-" denser stitches • "+" wider stitches. NOTE: The length of the stitch seamlessly changes with regard to an adjustment of the rotary switch between 0 and 1, and therefore should be adjusted correspondingly. Reverse sew button 1. Press the reverse sew button downward if you only want to sew backwards. Client: ALDI Australia Date: 25.09.2007 Project: Lumina ESM 008 Version: 02 Language: Page: (of 40 pages) -

Page 26: Sewing On Buttons (Zig-Zag Foot)
• Lower the feeder (see page 18). 1. Place the button on the desired place on the fabric. 2. Adjust both buttonholes along the opening of the sewing foot (see figure), and place the left buttonhole directly beneath the needlepoint. 3. Lower the sewing foot. 4. By using the hand wheel (23), check whether the stitch length is adjusted in a way that enables the buttonholes to be exactly met. 5. If necessary, alter the stitch length by means of the stitch length rotary switch (13), or by means of the stitch pattern rotary switch (14). A sewing needle placed on the sewing foot serves to produce a bar during the sewing process, which facilitates wrapping a thread around the bottom side of the button later on. 6. Sew about five stitches and lift the needle. 7. Make sure that approximately 20 cm of the thread end remains if you want a tighter button neck. 8. Thread the upper thread downward through a buttonhole and wrap the thread several times round the thread connecting the button with the sewing part, in order to produce a button neck. 9. Pull the thread through to the bottom side of the fabric and fasten it with knots. NOTE: After sewing the button on, lift the feeder again.

Page 27: Sewing On Buttons (Button Sewing Foot)
In case of heavier materials, a button shaft is often required. 1. For this purpose, place a needle or a match on the button before sewing, and before clamping it by lowering the sewing foot. 2. Sew the button on as described above. 3. Make sure that the upper thread is a bit longer, when you remove the workpiece from the machine. 4. Now thread the upper thread through a hole of the button and wrap it round the stitch threads, producing a button shaft. 5. Afterwards fasten the upper and lower thread on the back side by knots.

Retighten the screw and make sure that the guide rail is tightly positioned in the centre of the sewing foot. 4. Lift the sewing foot, place the fabric beneath the sewing foot and adjust the pleat of the fabric along the guide rail. 5. Lower the sewing foot and sew slowly, in order to maintain a better control. 6. With the left stitch of the needle when performing the zig-zag stitch, the pleat is sewed closely to its edge. See that during sewing the pleat is always run alongside the guide rail. 7. After the right upper fabric layer has been ironed, the needle cuts are barely visible.

Fix the blind stitch foot, see paragraph Change the sewing foot, page 9. 2. Fold the fabric into the desired fabric breadth, as described in the figure. On the right, an edge of approx. 4 mm has to remain when the seam is refolded. 3. Place the seam beneath the blind stitch foot, so that the guide of the foot runs along the edge of the folded seam. 4. Adjust the guide on the blind stitch foot by means of the screw, so that in case of the highest overstitch the needle only meets the edge of the seam. On the other side of the seam only one point of the thread should be visible. 5. Remove the fabric from the machine and smooth it out. The unfolded fabric shows a blind stitch seam. NOTE: For retaining a better control, you should carry out stitching this seam very slowly! Client: ALDI Australia Date: 25.09.2007 Project: Lumina ESM 008 Version: 02 Language: Page: (of 40 pages) -
