ON
OFF
sure that the voltage and frequency shown on
the rating plate is conforming with your mains
power.
Place the machine on a stable table.
1. Connect the machine to a power source
as illustrated.
2. Turn on the power switch.
The sewing lamp will light up when the switch
is turned on.
vPolarized plug information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade wider than the other), to reduce the
risk of electrical shock; this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
vFoot Control
With the sewing machine turned off, insert
the foot control plug into its connector on the
sewing machine.
Turn on the sewing machine, and then slowly
depress the foot control to start sewing.
Release the foot control to stop the sewing
machine.
When machine powers on and is in still,
users can quickly kick one step on the foot
controller to change the needle position (up or
down). This action will also automatically set
the needle position when you finish sewing
projects.
Note:
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as to
connect the machine to the power source.

Useful skills
Various ways to achieve better results for your sewing projects are described below. Refer to
these tips when sewing your project.
A trial piece of fabric should be sewn because, depending on the type of fabric and stitching
being sewn, the desired results may not be achieved.
For the trial sewing, use a piece of fabric and thread that are the same as those used for your
project and check the thread tension and stitch length and width.
Since the results differ depending on the type of stitching and the number of layers of fabric
sewn, perform the trial sewing under the same conditions that will be used with your project.
vSewing corners
Stop the sewing machine when you reach a
corner.
Lower the needle into the fabric. Raise the
presser foot. Use the needle as a pivot and
turn the fabric.
Lower the presser foot and resume sewing.
vSewing curves
Slightly change the sewing direction to sew
around the curve.
When sewing along a curve while using a
zigzag stitch, select a shorter stitch length in
order to obtain a finer stitch.
24
Page 31
vSewing thin fabrics
1
1
When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may
become misaligned or the fabric may not feed
1
correctly. If this occurs, place thin paper or
stabilizer material under the fabric and sew it
together with the fabric.
When you have finished sewing, tear off any
excess paper.
Stabilizer material or paper
vSewing heavy fabric
The black button on the right side of the
presser foot will lock the presser foot in a
horizontal position if you push it in before
lowering the presser foot.
This ensures even feeding at the beginning
of a seam and helps when sewing multiple
layers of fabric such as sewing over seams
when hemming jeans.
When you reach the point of an increased
thickness, lower the needle and raise the
presser foot. Press the toe of the foot and
push in the black button, then lower the foot
and continue sewing.
The black button releases automatically after
sewing few stitches.
You also can place another piece of fabric
with the same thickness at the back of the
seam. Or support the presser foot while
feeding by hand and sewing toward the folded
1
side.

Generally speaking, the thicker the fabric,
thread and needle, the longer the stitch
should be.
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.
Lower the presser foot lifter and then step on
the foot controller to start sewing.

While pulling the fabric behind the presser
foot with your left hand, pull the fabric at the

your right hand.
Note:
When sewing, be sure that the needle does
not touch any pins, otherwise the needle may
bend or break.

Note:
Before sewing a buttonhole on your project,
practice on a scrap piece of the same type of
fabric.
Mark the positions of the buttonhole on the
fabric.
The maximum buttonhole length is 3cm. (Total
of diameter + thickness of button.)
The size of the buttonhole is determined by
the button inserted in the button plate.
Pull the button holder plate to the back, and
place the button in it. Push back the button
holder plate against the button to hold it tight.
Attach the buttonhole foot.
The thread should be passed through the
hole in the presser foot, then be placed under
the foot.
Position the fabric under the presser foot with
the front end of the buttonhole mark aligned
with the center line on the buttonhole foot.

buttonhole lever as far as it will go.
Buttonhole lever
Cut the center of the buttonhole being careful
not to cut any stitches on either side. Use a
pin as a stopper at the bar tack so you do not
cut too much.
Note:
When cutting the buttonhole with the seam
ripper, do not place your hands in the cutting
direction, otherwise injuries may result.

vMaking a buttonhole on stretch
fabrics
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric,
hook heavy thread or cord under the
buttonhole foot.
Attach the buttonhole foot.
Bring the two gimp thread ends to the front of
the foot and insert them into the grooves, then
tie them there temporarily. Lower the presser
foot and start sewing.
Set the stitch width to match the diameter of
the gimp thread.
Once sewing is completed, pull the gimp
thread gently to remove any slack, then trim
off any excess.
Note:
It is suggested that you sew with a stabilizer
material under the fabric.

Move the drop feed lever to lower the feed
dogs.
Lowered position
Remove the presser foot and the presser foot
holder.
Draw the desired lettering or design on the
surface of the fabric.
Stretch the fabric between the embroidery
hoop as firmly as possible.
Place the fabric under the needle. Make sure
the presser foot bar is down to its lowest
position.
Turn the handwheel towards you to bring up
the lower thread through the fabric. Sew a few
securing stitches at the starting point.
Hold the hoop with thumb and forefinger of
both hands while pressing the material with
the middle and third finger and supporting the
outside of the hoop with your small finger.
Note:
Keep fingers away from moving parts,
especially needles.
When you finish the work, move the drop feed
lever to raise the feed dogs.

vDarning
First sew around the edges of the hole (to
secure the threads). Working from left to
right, sew over the hole in a constant and
continuous movement.
Turn the work by 1/4 and sew over the first
stitching moving the work slower over the hole
to separate the threads and not form big gaps
between the threads.
Note:
Free motion darning is accomplished without
the sewing machine internal feed system.
Movement of the fabric is controlled by the
operator. It is necessary to coordinate sewing
speed and movement of fabric.
vEmbroidery
Stitch along the outline of the design moving
the embroidery hoop. Make sure to maintain
a constant speed.
Fill in the design working from the outline
towards the inside. Keep the stitches close
together.
You will get longer stitches by moving the
hoop faster and shorter stitches by moving
the hoop slower.
Secure with reinforcement stitches at the end
of the design.
