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.

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.

- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics.

- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5" ("4" is basic setting).

- 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.

TWO-STEP PRESSER FOOT LIFTER

1. The presser foot lifter raises and lowers your presser foot.

2. 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.

will not rise up

USEFUL SKILLS

Reverse

Reverse stitching is used to secure the threads at the beginning and at the end of a seam.

Press the reverse button and sew 4-5 stitches. The machine will sew forward when the

button is released.

Free arm

Free-arm sewing is convenient for sewing tubular areas such as pant hems and cuffs.

USEFUL SKILLS

Sewing corners

1. Stop the sewing machine when you reach a corner.

2. Lower the needle into the fabric manually or by pressing the needle up/ down button once.

3. Raise the presser foot.

4. Use the needle as a pivot and turn the fabric.

5. Lower the presser foot and resume sewing.

Sewing on the 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 side.

thick fabric

Changing the needle position

These setting apply only to pattern 01-05. The pre-set position is "3.5", center position. When you press the "-" stitch width adjustment button, the needle position will move to the left. When you press the "+" stitch width adjustment button, the needle position will move to the right. On the LCD screen, the point illustration and the number indicate the needle position.

Changing the stitch length

To shorten the stitch length, press the "-" stitch length adjustment button. For a longer stitch length, press the "+" stitch length adjustment button. Generally speaking, the thicker the fabric, thread and needle, the longer the stitch should be.

Adjusting the stitch width

The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is "7.0"; however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The width increases as you press the "+" stitch width adjustment button from "0.0-7.0".

Adjusting the stitch length

The density of zigzag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length approaches "0.2".

Neat zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "1.0-2.5". Closed up zigzag stitches (close together) are referred to as a satin stitch.

GATHERING

To gather and attach gathered fabric in one step

Look closely at the gathering foot to see a slot on the bottom.

When using the slot, you can gather the bottom layer of the fabric while attaching it to a flat top layer, such as the waistband on a dress bodice.

1. Remove the presser foot holder and

attach gathering foot.

2. Place the fabric to be gathered with right

side up under the foot.

3. Place top layer of the fabric right side

down in the slot.

4. Guide the two layers as illustrated.

- Sew slow to medium speed for better fabric control.

Note:

- When testing machine for adjustments to achieve desired fullness, work with 10" increments of the fabric, trims or elastic. This makes it easier to determine the adjustments and how much change is needed for your project. Always test on your project fabric and on the same grainline as will be used in your finished project.

Using the crossgrain of the fabric will make prettier gathers than the straight of grain.

Gathered fabric

Remove the presser foot holder and attach the gathering foot, lowering the tension setting to below 2.

Suitable for light to medium weight

fabrics.

Place fabric to be gathered under presser foot to the right of the presser foot. Sew a row of stitching, keeping the raw edge of fabric aligned with the right edge of foot.

The stitches automatically cause the fabric to gather.

Adjust the stitch length to 4.0mm and loosen the thread tension.

Use the all purpose foot to sew straight lines 1cm (3/8 inch) apart, across the area to be smocked.

Knot the threads along one edge. Pull the bobbin threads and distribute the gathers evenly. Secure the threads at the other end.

Reduce the tension, if necessary and sew decorative pattern stitches between the straight seams.

Pull out the gathering stitches.

SMOCKING

Remove the presser foot holder, and attach the darning foot to the presser foot holder bar. The lever (a) should be behind the needle clamp screw (b). Press the darning foot on firmly from behind with your index finger and tighten the screw (c).

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.
