TWO-STEP PRESSER FOOT LIFTER
The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot.
When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy positioning of the work.
ADJUSTING PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE
The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set and requires no particular readjustment according to the type of fabric (light-or-heavy weight).
However, if you need to adjust the presser foot pressure, turn the presser adjusting screw with a coin.
For sewing very heavy fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter clockwise, and for thin fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.

THREAD TENSION
- Basic thread tension setting is "4". To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To decrease the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.
- Proper setting of tension is important for good sewing. There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics. However, 90% of all sewing will be between the "3" and "5" ("4" is the basic setting).
- For 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.

- Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
- Ball point needles are recommended for working with knit fabrics.
Medium weight fabrics-cotton duck, woolen, heavier knits, terrycloth, denims.
Heavyweight fabrics-canvas, woolens, outdoor tent and quilted fabrics, denims, upholstery material (light to medium).
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.

Place fabric to be gathered under the presser foot.
Sew a row of stitching. The stitches will automatically cause the fabric to gather.
Adjust the upper thread tension dial to achieve the amount of fullness desired. Less tension will result in softer gathers, more tension will result in fuller gathers.
The stitch length dial can also be used to adjust fullness. The longer the stitch length setting is, the more fullness that is achieved in the gathers.
Gather and attach 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.
- Remove the presser foot holder and attach gathering foot.
- Place the fabric to be gathered with right side up under the foot.
- Place top layer of the fabric right side down in the slot.
- Guide the two layers as illustrated.
Note:
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.

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).
Darning
Please Note:
Free motion darning is accomplished without the sewing machine internal feed system. Movement of the fabric is controlled by the operator, best by using an embroidery hoop (not included). It is necessary to coordinate sewing speed and movement of fabric.
First sew around the edges of the hole to secure the threads. Stitch across the opening moving the hoop backward and forward under the needle. Overlap the outline stitching at each end of the area, keeping the lines of stitching closely spaced and even in length. When the opening is filled, turn the work and cover the area with crosswise lines of stitching.

You will get longer stitches by moving the hoop faster and shorter stitches by moving the hoop more slowly.
Secure with reinforcement stitches at the end by pressing the Auto-lock button.
