    INSERTING THE NEEDLE

    Fig. 3

    See Fig. 3. Raise the needle bar (!)

    to its highest point, turning hand

    wheel toward you by hand. Then

    loosen the needle clamp screw (2) and

    the needle can be inserted into clamp

    (D. 9 flat side Place needle (Fig. 4, flat side to

    right) in the needle clamp and push

    it upward as far as it will go into the

    needle clamp hole, tightening the

    needle clamp screw securely with a

    screw driver.

    After changing the needle make one complete revolution of the hand wheel by

    hand to be sure the needle is in the correct position.

    Fig. 4

    WINDING THE BOBBIN

    A\

    3.

    To wind the bobbin the hand wheel must be disconnected from the stitching

    mechanism. Hold the hand wheel with your left hand, turn the stop motion

    knob toward you with your right hand. This

    will permit the hand wheel to turn freely while

    the needle bar remains motionless. The hand

    wheel is now disconnected for the bobbin

    winding operation (Fig. 5).

    Place a spool of thread on the spool pin and

    lead thread between the arm thread guides on

    the top plate.

    Now wind the end of the thread around an

    empty bobbin seven or eight times and place

    the threaded bobbin on the spindle of the

    bobbin winder Fig. 5

    4

  • 4. By pressing on the bobbin winder lever, the small rubber wheel is brought

    into contact with the hand wheel. To lock it in position, press the bobbin

    winder lever until a click is heard. The bobbin winder release latch is in

    contact with the shaft of the bobbin. It holds the bobbin in place.

    5. Now press your foot control or knee control, and when the bobbin is com¬

    pletely full, it will be released

    and stop turning, detach the

    bobbin from the spindle. Hold

    the hand wheel firmly with

    your left hand, and with your

    right hand turn the stop mo¬

    tion knob way from you until

    it can not be moved any

    farther, and the needle bar

    moves with the turning of

    the hand wheel. Fig. 6

    THREADING THE BOBBIN CASE

    Step 1 (illustrated in Fig. 7). Hold bobbin case between thumb and forefinger

    of left hand, so that the slot in the edge of the bobbin case is on top. Take

    the bobbin between thumb and forefinger of right hand so that the thread on

    top leads from left to right.

    Step 2. Insert bobbin into bobbin case, pull the thread into the slot of the

    bobbin case as shown in Fig. 8, and draw it under the tension spring and into

    the delivery eye as shown in Fig. 9.

    Fig. 7 Fig. 8 Fig. 9

  • PLACING BOBBIN CASE IN SHUTTLE

    Open bobbin cover plate to left of the needle. See Fig. 10. Hold the bobbin

    case latch (T), between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, with at least

    three inches of thread running from the top of the bobbin case to the right.

    Insert and center the bobbin case on the stud

    of the shuttle body (2). Be sure the bobbin case

    finger (3) is opposite shuttle race notch (4).

    Press the bobbin case (5) into the shuttle as

    far as possible until latch catches on the center

    post of the shuttle. THEN release the bobbin

    case latch ®. Press bobbin case again after

    latch has been released to make sure the bobbin

    case is locked securely in place. Close the

    Fi

  • Hold the end of upper thread loosely and

    turn hand wheel toward you until the needle

    goes all the way down and comes back up.

    A loop (Fig. 12) will be formed over the

    upper thread which then can be pulled out

    straight. Place both thread ends under the

    slot of the presser foot and draw toward the

    back of the machine, leaving both threads

    three or four inches long.

    move zigzag toot, nepiace wun mngeu. v-

    narrow foot and tighten screw securely. Fig. 13

    To change needle plate remove screws and slide the bobbin case cover and replace the zigzag needle pla

    for straight sewing, while raising the needle bar and the presser

    highest points. (1) First align the "SELECT" on the zigzag width control ® (Fi

    the indicator, then align the manual pattern ( |^ ) on the dec

    pattern dial ® with the indicator and return the zigzag wid

    "0" position. (2) Set needle positioning lever © at extreme left hand position

    (3) Select desired stitch length on dial ©. can be performed. (4) Push the button © and reverse stitching

    SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH The length of the stitch is regulated by the stitch length regulating dial ®

    (Fig. 13). Near 0 is the shortest stitch and 5 is the longest, but the dial may

    be set at any spot between markings for a variety of lengths. Turn the dial to

    the right to lengthen and to the left to shorten the stitch.

    SEWING IN REVERSE "When you wish to sew backward to tie the threads at the beginning or end

    of a seam, press in button © (Fig. 13) as far as it will go. The machine

    will sew backward as long as the button is held in.

  • ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS

    Always adjust the upper tension with the

    presser foot down, as the tension is released

    when it is raised. To increase the tension on

    the upper thread, turn regulator (Fig. 14) to

    the right. To decrease, turn to the left. The

    higher the number on the regulator the

    tighter the tension.

    Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the machine is threaded properly.

    When necessary to change the bobbin tension, turn small screw (Fig. 15) on

    side of the bobbin case clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.

    When the upper and lower tensions are

    properly balanced, a perfect stitch will be

    formed with both threads interlocking in

    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 the fabric

    (Fig. 17).

    When the upper tension is too loose, the

    upper thread forms loops over the lower

    thread lying flat under the fabric (Fig. 18).

    Fig. 16 Fig. 17 Fig. 18

    FEEDING OF FABRIC

    The height of the feed dog may be regulated according to the thickness of

    the material being sewn, by proper setting of the push buttons (Fig. 19).

    1. In sewing on thin materials, such as silk,

    creape de chine etc., push the button

    marked "DOWN" down as far as the red

    line.

    2. In sewing on thick materials, such as

    overcoats, push the button marked "UP"

    down as far as it will go.

    3. When it is necessary to turn the work

    freely as in embroidering and button

    sewing, push the button marked "DOWN"

    as far as it will go. Fig. 19

    8

  • PUSH

    SEWING THIN OR LIGHT WEIGHT FABRICS

    When lighter pressure is required to sew satisfactorily on thin silk or filmy

    material, the pressure cap should be about halfway down.

    Release all the way by pressing the snap lock ® (Fig. 20), and then press

    cap (2) (Fig. 21) down again to halfway spot.

    Fig. 20 Fig. 21

    DARNING AND MONOGRAMMING

    In order to move the fabric freely in any direction for darning, mending and

    certain kinds of free-hand embroidery, release the cap (2) (Fig. 21) completely

    by pressing down on the snap lock ® (Fig. 20). Press “DOWN" button all the

    way down, which drops the feed well below the needle plate. To return feed to

    normal, press "UP" button, Push cap down. (Fig. 21)

    REMOVING THE WORK

    Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-up lever and needle bar are

    located at the highest position. Now raise the presser foot and draw the fabric

    back and to the left, Fig. 22 and 23, and pass the threads over the thread

    cutter. Pull down slightly holding thread in both hands, so as not to bend the

    needle. Leave the ends of thread under the presser foot.

  • SETTING THE NEEDLE POSITION

    The needle bar should be at its highest

    point when adjusting needle position to

    avoid tearing the fabric or bending the

    needle.

    Set the needle positioning lever to

    right, middle or left for corresponding

    needle position.

    L Indicates the left hand needle position.

    M Indicates the middle needle position.

    R Indicates the right hand needle position.

    All straight stitching to be done using straight

    stitch needle plate and presser foot. The needle

    positioning lever must be in the left position (L).

    The needle positioning lever set in any other position will cause the needle

    to break. The various needle positions are used with the decorative stitch

    patterns and when doing creative embroidery.

    EMBROIDERY SEWING

    This sewing machine is so designed

    that the patterns indicated on the pattern

    dial can be sewn. In sewing the red

    patterns in the outside circle of the

    pattern dial the needle position of "L" is

    used, in sewing the blue ones in the

    outside circle that of "R" is used, and

    in sewing the green ones in the inside

    circle that of "M" is used. In each case

    the graduation "0" on the zigzag width

    control is aligned with the indicator.

    In pattern selection align your desired pattern with the indicator after select

    the zigzag width control to "SELECT".

    (Never turn the decorative stitch pattern dial clockwise from [] pattern or

    counterclockwise from pattern indicated on pattern plate.)

  • SEWING ON BUTTONS

    (1) Remove presser foot and replace with special purpose button sewing foot

    (Fig. 34).

    (2) Push drop feed button marked “DOWN” down all the way.

    (3) First align the “SELECT” on the zigzag width control with the indicator,

    then select the manual pattern () by turning the decorative stitch

    pattern dial.

    (4) Set needle positioning lever in the middle position “M“.

    (5) Place the button so that this left hole comes directly under the needle.

    Then gently lower the presser foot.

    (6) Turn the zigzag width control (produce a zigzag stitch) until the needle

    goes through the right hand hole of the button. Turn the hand wheel

    slowly by hand to be sure the needle clears both holes in the button

    Correct width if necessary.

    (7) When needle goes into the center of each

    hole, run the machine at a medium speed,

    making five or six stitches, stopping with

    the needle in the left hole.

    (8) To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent

    ravelling, return the zigzag width control

    at number “0“ and take a few stitches in

    the same hole. If you wish, you may

    place a rounded toothpich over the button

    between the two holes, and sew button to

    fabric in the regular way. Remove the

    toothpich and wind thread under button Fig. 34

    forming a shank. Fasten.

    Apply the above method to sew on buttons with four

    holes, hooks, snaps, etc..

    If a four hole button is to be sewn follow the same pro¬

    cedure above for the two hole button.

    Now lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to permit

    stitching the remaining two holes.

    Hooks, snaps, etc., are sewn to the fabric with the same

    procedure as for sewing the two hole button.

    Fig. 35

    BUTTON HOLES A buttonhole can be made in any length within the range

    of limited widths. To establish the correct length buttonhole required add

    1/8 inch to the cutting space for bar tacks.

    To obtain the length of the cutting space, the opening

    through which the button passes is measured by adding the

    width (A) of the button Fig. 36. Fig. 36

    14 —

  • Mark the beginning and end of the buttonhole on fabric with a basting line

    or tailor's chalk.

    Make one on scrap fabric following directions below to be sure machine

    adjustments are correct.

    1. Replace presser foot with special purpose

    button hole foot. It provides maximum

    visibility and allows closely spaced stitch¬

    es to feed evenly (Fig. 37).

    2. First align the "SELECT" on the zigzag

    width control with the indicator, then set

    decorative stitch pattern dial at number

    1 position for forward stitching of button¬

    hole and return zigzag width control to

    "0" position. (Never turn the decorative

    stitch pattern dial clockwise from [j

    pattern or counterclockwise from

    pattern indicated on pattern plate.)

    3. Set needle positioning lever in the extreme

    left hand position "L".

    4. Set stitch length at number "1/2" between

    "0" and "1". (When the left side pitch is

    different from the right side pitch, adjust

    the pitch by means of the stitch length

    control, so that pitches on both sides will

    be the same.)

    5. Stitch the length of the buttonhole.

    6. With needle out of fabric, turn the decora¬

    tive stitch pattern dial to the right, to the

    illustration showing lower bar tack of

    buttonhole. Take 3 or 4 stitches in fabric.

    7. Remove needle from fabric, and turn the

    decorative stitch pattern dial to the right,

    to the illustration showing right side of

    buttonhole. Now the machine will stitch

    the right side in reverse.

    8. Remove needle from fabric, turn the

    decorative stitch pattern dial to the left,

    to the illustration showing bar tack of

    buttonhole. Stitch the same as lower bar

    tack.

  • EMBROIDERING WITH A HOOP

    It is easy to follow a stamped design or

    to work free hand when embroidering or

    monogramming. Release the pressure from

    the foot by pressing down the snap lock

    on the darner. Push the drop feed button

    marked "DOWN" down all the way.

    Stretch the fabric in an embroidery hoop,

    and place under the needle after removing Fig' 40

    the presser foot. Set the zigzag width at the size you prefer and lower the

    presser bar lifter. Then operate the machine at a rather high speed while mov¬

    ing the hoop slowly with both hands. Work carefully and be sure to keep fingers

    out of the path of the needle.

    Should you encounter skipped stitches, the fabric is not stretched tight enough or

    a darning spring is needed.

    NARROW HEMMER

    With the needle at it highest position, replace regular presser foot with narrow

    hemmer being sure to tighten it securely in place. Align the "SELECT" on the

    zigzag width control with indicator. Set decorative stitch pattern dial at manual

    pattern ( ) , needle positioning lever in the left hand position "L , zigzag width

    control at "0" position for straight stitched hem or at number "3" for zigzag

    stitched hem. Set stitch length to suit. For general hemming, cut the right cor¬

    ner of the material to be sewn diagonally,

    and prepare the material so that it can be

    rolled easily. Then insert it into the scroll

    of hemmer. Pull out the material to the

    point just beneath the needle, so that it

    can continue being rolled in the scroll.

    Then lower the presser bar and sew 2 or

    3 stitches slowly and carefully, holding

    the beginning of the hem between your right thumb and forefinger and sew in

    order that the edge of material can be scrolled nicely by adjusting, and the

    sewing result will be as given in the illustration. Be careful not to feed too

    much or too little material into the hemmer (Fig. 41).

    Fig. 41

  • When hemming and sewing on lace

    is required in one operation, proceed

    to make a hem in the same manner as

    explained above. Insert edge of lace or

    trimming (be sure the right side is down)

    into the slot on the right side of the

    hemmer. Make sure that the needle pierces

    it close to the edge just above the turned

    edge of the hem. Begin to stitch, leading

    the lace edge into the hemmer's slot with the right hand while guiding the

    material being hemmed into the scroll of hemmer with the left hand. To apply

    lace in the "French Manner," insert the fabric to be hemmed as for plain hemm¬

    ing, with the right side up. Insert the lace from the left, with the right side

    down, and put it on top of the fabric. Then put the lace and fabric combined

    into the hemmer and the hem can be made to enclose the lace edge in one

    stitching (Fig. 42).

    SEWING BRAIDS Remove the ordinary presser foot from

    the machine and attach the braiding foot,

    as shown in Fig. 43. Introduce braid

    through the small hole of the spring on

    foot. Set the needle positioning lever in the

    extreme left hand position "L". First align

    the "SELECT" on the zigzag width control

    with indicator, then align the manual

    pattern () indicated on the pattern

    dial. Adjust the width of zigzag seam and

    the length of stitch to obtain such a

    covering of the braid as appears most desirable for the material you are sewing.

    Using some threads of contrasting colors will enhance the beauty of your braiding.

    QUILTING GUIDE This guide for making parallel rows of

    stitching is attached by placing the pronged

    holder between the presser foot and the

    presser foot clamp screw (Fig. 44). Adjust

    the curved bar to press lightly on the

    fabric. By letting the guide ride on the

    first stitching line, successive rows will be

    an equal distance apart.

    When the bar is attached so that the

    curved part is to the right of the needle,

    it may also serve as a seam width guide.

    Fig. 43

    Fig. 42

  • SEAM GAUGE OR CLOTH GUIDE

    Use the seam gauge as a guide for

    straight seams and even rows of top

    stitching along edges of fabric. Fasten

    gauge with accompanying screw in

    threaded hole in bed of machine (Fig.

    45). Adjust to seam width desired.

    THE ADJUSTABLE CORDING AND ZIPPER FOOT This attachment is used

    to make and insert covered

    cording, and to sew in

    zippers. Loosen thumb

    screw to slide foot to

    either right or left of

    needle.

    CORDING. Fold bias

    strip of fabric over cord.

    Loosen thumb screw and ....-_

    set foot so needle is Fig' 46 Fig‘ 47

    centered in needle hole. Machine baste cord in place (Fig. 46^47).

    To sew covered cord to material, reset adjustable foot so needle stitches closer

    to cord,and on edge of base fabric.

    SEWING IN ZIPPER

    Loosen thumb screw and slide foot so needle

    enters center of needle hole. Guide metal of

    zipper along edge of foot (Fig. 48). Stitching

    left side, which ever is move convenient.

    CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR MACHINE HOW TO OIL YOUR MACHINE

    Your machine should be oiled occasionally to keep it oporating smoothly. How

    often depends on the amount of sewing you do.

    Before oiling the upper part of the sewing unit at points indicated by arrows in

    Fig. 50, turn hand wheel toward you until the take-up lever is at its lowest point.

    Avoid over-oiling. Only a drop is needed at each point.

    To oil parts under the bed of the machine, tip the unit back on its hinges

    and apply a drop of oil at each point indicated in Fig. 51.

    To oil moving parts inside the face plate, which only rarely require oiling,

    open plate and oil at spots indicated in Fig. 49.

    CLEANING AND OILING THE SHUTTLE (See Fig. 52)

    The stitch forming mechanism occasionally becomes clogged with loose threads

    and lint. This will interfere with the efficient operation of the machine. Cleaning and

    removal of the lint will safeguard the performance. To remove the shuttle

    assembly, proceed as follows : 1. Turn the hand wheel until the needle reaches its highest position. Tilt

    head back on its hinges.

    2. Remove bobbin case (A), Fig. 52.

    3. Turn the two shuttle race cover clamps (B) outward and remove the

    shuttle race cover (C) and shuttle body (D).

    4. Clean the shuttle race, the shuttle, and shuttle race cover by removing all

    threads, lint, etc.

    5. Apply a drop of oil with finger tip to outer edge of shuttle.

    When the cleaning has been completed, proceed as follows to replace the

    shuttle assembly :

    1. Turn the hand wheel until the needle

    reaches its highest position.

    2. Place shuttle body (D), against shuttle

    driver and adjust into position.

    3. Replace shuttle race cover (C), fitting pin

    at lower edge into notch, and lock into

    position with shuttle race cover clams (B),

    making certain the clamps have been

    snapped securely into position.

  • CHECK UP FOR SMOOTH SEWING

    Although your sewing machine is designed for maximum efficiency, should any

    of the following difficulties occur they can be remedied with minor adjustment.

    Upper Thread Breaks-

    Be sure needle is inserted properly.

    Check on correct way to thread machine.

    Use correct needle size for thread.

    Do not have upper tension too tight.

    Lower Thread Breaks-

    Check correct method of threading bobbin case.

    Be sure lower tension is not too tight.

    Needle Breaks——

    Do not tug or pull on the fabric while sewing as this will bend and eventually

    break the needle.

    Be sure presser foot is firmly attached to bar.

    Skipped Stitches

    Do not use a blunt or bent needle.

    Insert needle correctly.

    Use correct needle size for thread.

    Be sure pressure on foot is sufficient when sewing heavy fabrics. •

    Stitches Loop-

    Make sure tensions are properly balanced and that machine is threaded

    correctly.

    Machine Binds-

    Clean thread, dust and lint from hook, shuttle and race.

    If condition continues, it may be that the machine is gummy with oil. Apply

    kerosene to oil holes, run rapidly for a while, and wipe dry. Then lubricate

    again with fine sewing machine oil.
