LPREPARING TO SEW

A - Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding by pulling the material as

this may deflect the needle and cause it to break.

Never run machine without material under presser foot.

Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot, You are now ready tobegin sewing. By having the needle at i highest point, it is riot necessary to touch the hand wheel to start the

J machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amountof pressure exerted on the control.

HOW TO SEW

Straight Stitching

Set your machine as follows:

Pattern selector dial :“M’ position

Needle position :“M” position

Selector lever :““ poSitiOn

Zigzag width lever :“Q” positionStitch length dial :To suit material being sewn

Presser foot :Zigzag or Straight stitch

Note: No cam is required for ordinary straight or zigzag sewing.

REMOVING THE WORK

/LS/i

Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-up lever and needle bar are at the highest position. Now raise

presser foot and draw the fabric back and to the left(Fig. 14 and 15,) and pass the threads over the thread cu:

Pull down slightly, holding thread in both hands, so as not to bend the needle. Leave the ends of thread under

presser foot.

TJSION CONTROL

For perfect stitching, the tension on the upper and under threadsshould be equal, and just sufficiently strong to lock both threads inthe center of the work. (Fig. 16)

If the tension on the needle thread is too tight, or if that on thebobbin thread is too loose, the needle thread will lie straight alongthe upper surface of the material, making an imperfect stitch. (Fig.

17)

If the tension of the bobbin thread is too tight, or if that on theneedle thread is too loose, the bobbin thread will Ie straight alongthe under side of the material, making an imperfect stitch. (Fig. 18)

Note: For perfect stitching on various materials, different tensionapproximate setting

ADJUSTING THE TENSiONS

Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down, as the tension is released when it is raised. To increa

the tension on the upper thread, tim dial(Fig.19) to the right To decrease, turn to the left

Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the machine is threaded properly. When necessary to change the bob

tension, turn small screw (Fig. 20) on side of the bobbin case clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.

When the both tensions are properly balanced, a perfect stitch will be formed with both threads interlocking

fabric (Fig. 16)

When the upper tension is too tight, the lower thread is pulled up over the upper thread which is lying flat on

fabric (Fig. 17). When the upper tension is too loose, the upper thread forms loops over the lower thread lying

on the fabric (Fig. 19).

ZIGZAG STITCHING

Be sure zigzag presser foot is in place.

(1) Set needle position lever at ‘SM” position (Fig. 21)

(2) By moving the zigzag width lever”A”(Fig, 21) gradually to theright, it will produce zigzag stitches of ever increasing width. Tomaintain selected widths of zigzag stitches, employ locks ‘8”(Fig. 21)

(3) Left lock determines the minimum width stitch, while right lockcontrols the maximum. Locks can be set by pressing in shghtly

and moved to the desired position.

CREATIVE EMBROIDERY

The satin stitch (Fig. 23), which is really just a very short zigzag stitch, and is the basis for most embroide

is obtained by setting the stitch length as near “0” as possible without stopping the feeding action.

The width may be set anywhere from “0” to “5” for single needle work.

Fig. 23

EMBROIDERY PATTERNS

With the machine set for a short stitch length, different designs can be made by swinging the stitch wi

lever”A”(Fig. 22) between “0” and “5” or any combination of widths. Try setting the locks at “1” and “5”,

and “5”, etc. Set a rhythm for yourself and then proceed. After a while you will become quite skillful, var’

your designs by the speed of the machine, stitch length and width and the manipulation of lever’O’(Fig. 22). Alv’.

FABRIC SELECTOR

The feed can be regulated for various materials and types of sewing by the use of a fabric selector knob.

Their positions are:

“HIGH” :For straight or zigzag sewing with ordinary materials.

Normal setting.

“LOW” : For fine materials such as silk, nylon, or rayon. etc.

“DOWN” : For embroidery or button sewing only.

PRESSURE CONTROL BY DARNER

OOWN HIGH1I . . •

LOW

This darner allows you to adjust the pressure on the presser foot from strong to very light and serves, wi

fabric selector, as an aid to perfect darning, embroidery, applique

or other work that requirs you to control the direction of the stitch

independently of the feed action.

For ordinary family sewing, it is seldom necessary to change the

pressure, however, when sewing on fine silk or flimsy material a

lighter pressure will help also the same thing applies when sewing on

the knits etc.,and one of the pieces of material being sewn together

ends up longer than the other.

To adjustPress lock ring “A”( Fig.31 ) down which wilt allow”B’to iap up into the darning position.

Press cap “8” down only as far as needed to obtain desired pressure.

The pressure should be only heavy enough to prevent the material from rising with the needle and to enz

feed to move the work along evenly.

FOR PORTABLE INSTALLATION

Please read these important instructions which were written to aid you in placing your new sewing machine on

its portable base.

First, remove the nail which holds the foot control inside the base to avoid damage in shipping. If a small

plastic clamp is fastened to the back and not to the top of the partition at one end of the base, remove it, too.

After unpacking the sewing machine unit, being certain to take out the instruction book, guarantee and

accessory box, lay the unit face down on a table. You will see two caimping screws A entering head hinge holes B

on the underside of the back.

On the base you will find two head hinges C which will fit into holes B. Lower the base onto the sewing

machine fitting hinges C into holes B. Tighten screws A securely with a screw driver.

With machine in sewing position attach plastic clamp D to top of partition with screw provided so that it may

be turned across the bed of the machine, to hold it down. (On some bases the clamp may be positioned in the

proper spot).

To make the electrical connection draw the two wires through the slot in the partition of the base. Plug the

cord labeled “Motor” into the receptacle marked “Motor” on the block attached to the outer section of the base.

Then insert the other cord into the “Light” receptacle.

Place the foot control on the floor, insert plug into a wall outlet (110-115 volts) and you are ready to sew. But

first read the instruction book to become familiar with the threading of the machine, tension adjustments and all

the other features designed to make sewing a pleasure.
