AdjustingtheNeedleThreadTension

Straightstitch balancedtension

The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two

layers of fabric, as illustrated (magnied to show detail).

If you look at the top and bottom of the seam, notice that the stitches are evenly balanced. q Needle thread (top thread) w Bobbin thread (bottom thread) e To loosen r To tighten

When adjusting the needle thread tension, the higher the

number, the tighter the top thread tension. Results depend on:

- stiffness and thickness of the fabric

- number of fabric layers

- type of stitch

Tension is too loose

The needle thread shows through on the wrong side of the fabric, and the stitch feels bumpy. Turn the dial to a higher number to tighten the needle thread tension. q Needle thread (top thread) w Bobbin thread (bottom thread) e To tighten tension r Right side (top side) of fabric t Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric

Tensionistootight

The bobbin thread shows through on the right side of the fabric, and the stitch feels bumpy. Turn the dial to a lower number to loosen the needle thread tension. q Needle thread (top thread) w Bobbin thread (bottom thread) e To loosen tension r Right side (top side) of fabric t Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric

Zigzagstitchbalancedtension

For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not show on the right side (top side) of the fabric, and the needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric.

See the illustrations for the correct appearance. To match this appearance, adjust the needle tension as

necessary.

Balanced tension

Minimize the amount of needle thread visible on the

wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric without causing excessive puckering, or causing the bobbin thread to show on the right side (top side) of the fabric. Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions. q Right side (top side) of fabric w Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric

ChangingtheNeedle

CAUTION:

Turn OFF the power switch or press the lockout key to lockout the machine before changing the needle. Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel counterclockwise, and lower the presser foot. A loose needle or a loose screw may cause machine malfunction or needle to break.

Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the needle from the needle clamp.

Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with the at

side to the rear. When inserting the needle into the needle clamp, push it up as far as it will go.

Tighten the needle clamp screw rmly by turning it

clockwise. q Needle clamp screw

w Flat side

To see if the needle is in good condition, place the at side of the needle onto something at (needle plate, glass etc.). The gap between the needle and the at surface

should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt needle. A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs

in knits, ne silks and silk-like fabrics.

Fabric,ThreadandNeedleChart

• For general sewing, use needle size 11/75 or 14/90.

• A ne thread and needle should be used for sewing

lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred.

• Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to

pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.

• Always test the needle size on a small scrap of the

fabric that will be used for actual sewing.

• In general, use the same thread for the needle and

bobbin.

• When sewing stretch fabrics, very ne fabrics and

synthetics, use a blue tip needle. The blue tip needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.

NOTE:

1 x blue tip needles (#11/75), 2 x #11/75 needles and 2 x #14/90 needles are included in the needle case (Part No. 540401026).

NOTE:

If a rimless spool may not let thread out smoothly, place the spool on the spool pin in up position and do not use the spool holder so the spool can rotate freely.

NOTE:

If there is a slit i on the spool of thread, be sure to place the spool with the slit end up.

NOTE:

Make sure there is no gap between the spool holder

and spool rim, otherwise the thread can get tangled.

NOTE:

Use the “J” plastic bobbins for horizontal hook (marked with “J” r). Using other bobbins, such as pre-wound paper bobbins, may cause stitching problems and/ or damage to the bobbin holder.

Windingthebobbin

NOTE:

• Set the speed control slider at its fastest position

for bobbin winding.

• Close the retractable thread guide e after the bobbin winding.
