Connect the machine to a power source as illustrated. (1)
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug which must be used with the appropriate polarized outlet. (2)
Attention:
Unplug power cord when machine is not in use.
Foot control
The foot control pedal regulates the sewing speed. (3)
Attention:
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt of how to connect machine to power source. Unplug power cord when machine is not in use.
Sewing light
Press main switch (A) to "I" for power and light.
When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised to a higher position for easy positioning of the work. (A)
Please Note:
When the bobbin winder spindle is in "bobbin winding" position, the machine will not sew and the hand wheel will not turn.
To start sewing, push the bobbin winder spindle to the left (sewing position).
When inserting or removing the bobbin, the needle must be fully raised.
Attention:
Turn power switch to off ("O") before inserting or removing the bobbin.
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: "4"
To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.
To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down (1/2).
Lower thread tension
To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and bobbin and hold it by suspending it by the thread. Jerk it once or twice. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two. If the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all. If the tension is too loose, it will drop too much. To adjust, turn the small screw on the side of the bobbin case.
Please note:
This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.
Attention:
Turn power switch to off ("O")!
Hold the upper thread with the left hand. Turn the handwheel (1) towards you (counterclockwise) lowering, then raising
needle.
Note:
If it is difficult to raise the bobbin thread, check to make sure the thread is not trapped by the hinged cover or the Removable Extension Table.
Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate hole. (2)
Lay both threads to the back under the presser foot. (3)
To select a stitch, simply turn the pattern selector dial. The pattern selector dial may be turned in either direction.
For straight stitch, select pattern " " with the pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length with the stitch length dial.
For zigzag stitch, select pattern " " with the pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length and stitch width according to the fabric being used.
To obtain the other patterns, turn the stitch length dial to "S1" or "S2", select the pattern desired with pattern selector dial, and adjust the stitch width with the stitch width dial.
Function of stitch width dial
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 5mm; however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The width increases as you move zigzag dial from "0" - "5".
The stitch width dial is also the control for the straight stitch infinite needle position. "0" is center needle position, "5" is full left needle position.
Function of stitch length dial while zig- zag stitching
Set the Pattern Selector Dial to zig-zag.
The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches "0".
Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below.
Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches.
Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching
For straight stitch sewing, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to the straight stitch setting. Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and the length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial approached "0". The length of the individual stitches will increase as the dial approaches "4". Generally speaking, use a longer stitch length when sewing heavier weight fabrics or when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a finer needle or thread.
To begin sewing, set the machine for straight stitch.
Place the fabric under the presser foot with the fabric edge lined up with the desired seam guide line on the needle plate. (1)
Lower the presser foot lifter, and then step on the foot controller to start sewing. (2)
Reverse sewing
To secure the beginning and the end of a seam, press down the reverse sewing lever (A). Sew a few reverse stitches. Release the lever and the machine will sew forwards again. (1)
Removing the work
Turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) to bring the thread take up lever to its highest position, raise the presser foot and remove work behind the needle and presser foot. (2)
Cutting the thread
Pull the threads under and behind the presser foot. Guide the threads to the side of the face plate and into thread cutter (B). Pull threads down to cut. (3)
The Stretch Stitch Patterns are indicated with a blue color on the Pattern Selector Dial. To select these stitches, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to the desired pattern. Then, turn the Stitch Length Dial to the indicator marked "S1". Though there are several stretch patterns, here are two examples:
Straight Stretch Stitch
Set the Pattern Selector Dial to " ".
Used to add triple reinforcement to stretch and hardwearing seams.
The machine sews two stitches forward and one stitch backwards.
Ric Rac
Set the Pattern Selector Dial to " ".
Adjust the Stitch Width Dial to between "3" and "5".
Ric Rac Stitch is suitable for firm fabrics like denim, corduroy, poplin, duck, etc.
For hems on curtains, trousers, skirts, etc.
Blind hem for stretch fabrics.
Blind hem for firm fabrics.
Set the Stitch Length Dial with the range shown on the diagram above. Blind hems, however, are normally sewn with a longer stitch length setting. Set the Stitch Width Dial at a setting appropriate for the weight/type of fabric being sewn, within the range shown in the diagram above. Generally, a narrower stitch is used for lighter weight fabrics, and a wider stitch is used for heavier weight fabrics. Sew a test first to make sure the machine settings are appropriate for the fabric.
Blind Hem:
Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Fold back (as shown in Fig. 1) against the right side of the fabric with the top edge of the hem extending about 7 mm (1/4") to the right side of the folded fabric.
Start to sew slowly on the fold, making sure the needle touches slightly the folded top to catch one or two fabric threads. (2)
Unfold the fabric when hemming is completed and press.
Buttonhole sewing is a simple process that provides reliable results. However, it is strongly suggested to always make a practice buttonhole on a sample of your fabric and stabilizer.
Making a Buttonhole
Making a Buttonhole on Stretch Fabrics (E)
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy thread or cord under the buttonhole foot. When the buttonhole is sewn the legs will overcast the cord.
Install the darning plate. (1) Change the all purpose foot to the button sewing foot. Set the stitch length to "0".
To sew a few securing stitches, set the machine for straight stitch, with the stitch width set at "0".
Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for zig-zag stitch, then set the width to number "3" - "5". Turn the handwheel to check that the needle goes cleanly into the left and right holes of the button. Adjust the stitch width, as needed, according to the distance between the holes of the button. Slowly sew on the button with about 10 stitches. (2)
Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for straight stitch again, with the width at "0" sew a few securing stitches to finish.
If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the button and sew. (3)
For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front two holes first, push the work forward and then sew through the back two holes.
Hold the removable extension table horizontal, and push it in the direction of the arrow. (A)
The inside of the removable extension table can be utilized as an accessory box.
To open, flip cover down as shown. (B)
Raise the presser bar (a). Attach the presser foot shank (b) as illustrated. (1)
Attaching the presser foot
Lower the presser foot shank (b) until the cut-out (c) is directly above the pin (d). (2) Raise the lever (e).
Lower the presser foot shank (b) and the presser foot (f) will engage automatically.
Removing the presser foot
Raise the presser foot. (3)
Raise the lever (e) and the foot disengages.
Attaching the edge/ quilting guide
Attach the edge/ quilting guide (g) in the slot as illustrated.
Adjust according to need for hems, pleats, etc. (4)
Attention:
Turn power switch to off ("O") when carrying out any of the above operations!
