NEEDLE, FABRIC, THREAD SELECTION GUIDE

Please Note:

- In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine fabrics, and thicker threads are used for sewing heavy fabrics.

- Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual sewing.

- Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.

Heavy duty thread, carpet thread.

FABRICS

THREAD

9-11 (70-80) Lightweight fabrics-thin cottons, voile, serge,

silk, muslin, Qiana, interlocks, cotton knits, tricot, jerseys, crepes, woven polyester, shirt & blouse fabrics.

Light-duty thread in cotton, nylon, polyester or cotton wrapped polyester.

Most threads sold are medium size and suitable for these fabrics and needle sizes.

Use polyester threads on synthetic materials and cotton on natural woven fabrics for best results.

Always use the same thread on top and bottom.

1. Place the thread and spool holder onto the spool pin.

For smaller spools of thread, place spool holder with the small side next to the spool or use the small spool holder.

2. Snap the thread into the thread guide.

3. Wind the thread clockwise around the bobbin winder tension discs.

4. Place the thread end through one of the inner holes in the bobbin as illustrated and place empty bobbin on the spindle.

5. Push the bobbin to right.

6. Hold the thread tail securely in one hand.

7. Press on the foot control or the Start/stop button to start winding the bobbin.

8. After the bobbin has wound a few turns stop the machine and cut the thread near the hole of the bobbin. Continue filling the bobbin until it is full. The motor stops automatically when the bobbin is full. Stop the machine. Push the bobbin winder spindle to left.

9. Cut the thread and then remove the bobbin.

Please Note: When the bobbin winder switch is placed on the right, "bobbin winding position", the machine will not sew and the handwheel will not turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder switch to the left "sewing position".

Winding the bobbin

Inserting the bobbin

Pull the thread through the slit (A).

Attention: Tu rn powe r sw itch to off ("O ") before inserting or removing the bobbin.

When inserting or removing the bobbin, the needle must be fully raised.

Insert the bobbin in the bobbin case with the thread running in a counterclockwise direction (arrow).

With a finger held gently on top of the bobbin.

the thread at the arrow markings into the

stitch plate thread guide from (A) to (B)

Draw

Pull the thread at the arrow markings into the stitch plate thread guide from (B) to (C).

To cut off excess thread pull thread back over the cutting off blade at point (C). Close the bobbin cover plate.

Threading the upper thread

Please Note: It is important to carry out the threading correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.

Start by raising the needle to its highest point, and also raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.

1. Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so that the thread comes from the front of the spool, then place the spool cap at the end of the spool pin.

2. Draw the thread from the spool through the upper thread guide.

5. Then, down and around the check spring holder.

6. At the top of this movement, pass the thread from right to the left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again.

Guide the thread through the wire loop.

Pull the end of the thread through the needle from front to rear, and pull out about 10 cm of thread.

Use the needle threader to thread the needle. (On the next page.)

Pass the thread behind the flat, horizontal thread guide.

4. Thread the tension module by passing the thread between the silver discs.

Threading the upper thread

3. Guide the thread around the thread guide pulling the thread through the pre-tension spring as illustrated.

Attention: Turn power switch to the off position ("O").

Using the needle threader

The needle threader automatically turns to the threading position and the hook pin passes through the needle eye.

Take the thread in front of the needle.

Hold the thread loosely and release the lever slowly. The hook will turn and pass the thread through the needle eye forming a loop.

Pull the thread through the needle eye.

Raise the needle to its highest position and lower the presser foot.

Lower the needle threader lever slowly and draw the thread through the thread guide as illustrated and then to the right.

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.

- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.

- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch

and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

Thread tension is too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to higher number.

Thread tension is too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to lower number.

Normal thread tension for zig zag and decorative sewing.

1. Hold the upper thread with the left hand. Turn the handwheel towards you (counterclockwise) lowering, then raising the needle.

2. Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate hole. The bobbin thread will come up in a loop.

3. Pull both threads to the back under the presser foot.

Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the left side of the face cover and cut using the thread cutter.

The threads are cut at the proper length to start the next seam.

Raising up the lower thread

Cutting the thread

Two-step presser foot lifter

The presser foot lifter raises and lowers your presser foot.

When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy positioning of the work.

With the sewing table off the machine, the feed dog adjustment lever can be seen on the base in back of the sewing machine.

To raise or drop the feed dogs

Sliding the lever to the " " (b) will lower the feed dog, for example during button sewing. If you wish to continue sewing normally, slide the lever to the " " (a) in order to raise the feed dogs.

The feed dog if you do not turn the handwheel, even if the lever is slid to the right. Make a complete turn to raise the feed dogs.
