Depending on the stitch select­ ed, you may need to adjust the stitch length.

The numbers marked on the dial represent the stitch length.

THE HIGHER THE NUMRER, THE LONGER THE STiTCH.

The ‘‘O” means the material does not feed.

The area is used for making a SATIN stitch (closed stitch) for

buttonhole

and

decorative

stitches.

 

 

To sew in reverse, push the button as far as it goes. Hold the button in this position until you wish to sew forward. When the button is released, it will spring back in original position and the machine will sew forward. Re­ verse sewing is used for backtacking and reinforcement of seams.

When the foot controller is de­ pressed lightly, the machine will run at a low speed.

When the pressure on the foot controller is increased, the ma­ chine will pick up the speed.

When the foot controller is re­ leased, the machine will stop. Care should be taken that noth­ ing is placed on the foot control­ ler when the machine is not in use.

To turn the sew-light on or off, push the sew-light switch.

Free-arm model

Twin needle

For sewing tubular and hard-to- reach garment areas, free-arm sewing is convenient, To change your machine to a free-arm mod­ el, simply lift the extension table then slide it out.

Vour sewing machine is designed for twin needle sewing with Straight Stitch (Center) and Stretch Straight Stitch.

INSERTING TWIN NEEDLE

Insert the twin needle in the same manner as single needle.

THREADING TWIN NEEDLE

Set the extra spool pin into a hole on the top of the machine. Follow the instructions for single needle threading (See page 9), but thread each needle separately.
