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.

Foot control

The Start/Stop button can be used to run the
machine when the foot controller is unplugged
from the machine. Press the button to start
sewing, then press it again to stop sewing. The
machine will run slowly at the start of sewing.

The speed limiting adjustment lever can control
the sewing speed. To increase the sewing speed,
slide the lever to the right, To decrease the
sewing speed, slide the lever to the left.

With the sewing machine turned off, insert the
foot control plug into its connector on the sewing
machine.

Turn on the sewing machine, and then slowly
depress the foot control to start sewing.

Release the foot control to stop the sewing
machine.

Please Note: The setting of the speed limiting adjustment lever will limit the maximum speed
of the machine.

Attention: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as how to connect the machine to the
power source. Unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.

21

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.

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.

- 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

* The Gathering foot is an optional accessory.

Gathered fabric

Remove the presser foot holder and attach the
gathering foot.

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.

FREE MOTION SEWING

Embroidery

Stitch along the outline of the design by moving
the embroidery hoop. Select zigzag stitch
pattern and adjust the stitch width as desired.
When sewing, make sure to maintain a
constant speed.

Fill in the design working from the outline
towards the inside. Keep the stitches close
together.

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.

Monogramming

* Embroidery hoop is not included with the machine.

Select the zigzag stitch pattern and adjust the

* The Walking foot is an optional accessory.

Please Note: Always try to sew first
without the walking foot accessory which
should be used only when necessary.

It is easier to guide the fabric and you have a
better view of the seam when using the
standard, regular foot on your machine. Your
sewing machine offers excellent stitch quality

1

on a wide range of fabrics from delicate
chiffons to multiple layers of denim.

The Walking foot attachment equalizes the
feeding of the fabric layers. It improves the
matching of plaids, stripes and patterns. It
also helps to prevent uneven feeding of
difficult or napped fabrics, such as velvet or
corduroy.
