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.

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.
Cardboard or
thick fabric
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.

Before sewing a buttonhole on your project,
practice on a scrap piece of the same type of
fabrics.
Mark the positions of the buttonhole on the
fabric. The maximum buttonhole length is 3cm
(1 3/16 inch). (Total of diameter + thickness of
button.)
Starting
point
Attach the buttonhole foot, then pull out the
button holder plate and insert the button.
The size of the buttonhole is determined by the
button inserted in the button plate.
The thread should be passed through the hole
in the presser foot, then be placed under the
foot.
Select the buttonhole stitch.
Adjust the stitch width and the stitch length to
the desired width and density.
Position the fabric under the presser foot with
the front end of the buttonhole mark aligned
with the center line on the buttonhole foot.

After sewing the buttonhole stitch, raise the
buttonhole lever until it stops.
Attention:
After sewing the buttonholes, raise the
buttonhole lever all the way up to its original
position for other sewing.
Cut the center of the buttonhole being
careful not to cut any stitches on either side.
Use a pin as a stopper at the bar tack so you
do not cut too much.
Please Note:
When cutting the buttonhole with the seam
ripper, do not place your hands in the cutting
direction, otherwise injuries may result.
Making a buttonhole on stretch fabrics
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric,
1
hook heavy thread or cord under the buttonhole foot.
Attach the buttonhole foot and hook the
gimp thread onto the back of the presser
foot.
Bring the two gimp thread ends to the front
of the foot and insert them into the grooves,

then temporarily tie them there. Lower the
presser foot and start sewing.
Set the stitch width to match the diameter of
the gimp thread.
Once sewing is completed, pull the gimp

thread gently to remove any slack, then trim
off any excess.
Please Note:
It is suggested that you use interfacing on
the backside of the fabric.

Once sewing is completed, the machine
automatically sews reinforcement stitches, then
stops.
–
Make a hole at the center using an eyelet
punch.
* Eyelet punch is not included with the
machine.
Please Note:
- When using the eyelet punch, place thick paper
or some other protective sheet under the fabric
before punching the hole in the fabric.
- If thin thread is used, the stitching may be
coarse. If this occurs, sew the eyelet twice
one on top of the other.

A
Use the satin stitch foot for satin stitching
and sewing decorative stitches. This foot
has a full indentation on the underside to
allowed easy sewing over the thickness of
the stitches form by closely spaced zigzag
stitches, and even feeding of the fabric.
To tailor the satin or decorative stitch pattern,
you may adjust the length and width of the
pattern by pressing the stitch length and
width adjustment buttons. Experiment with
fabric scraps until you get the desired length
and width.
When sewing very thin fabrics, it is
suggested that you use interfacing on the
backside of the fabric.

- Stitch along the edge of the fabric, making
sure not to sew directly on the edge of the
fabric.

For better results, apply spray starch
onto the fabric and press with a hot iron
before it is sewn.
- Trim along the stitches.
* Be careful not to cut the stitches.

Gathered fabric
Remove the presser foot holder and attach the
1
gathering foot, lowering the tension setting to
below 2.
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.
Suitable for light to medium weight fabrics. If
your fabric is light, such as batiste or lace, you
will have more gathers.
To gather and attach gathered fabric in
one step
Look closely at the gathering foot to see a slot
2
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.
Please 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.
- Sew slow to medium speed for better fabric
control.

thread the twin needle are of the same
weight. You can use one or two colors.
Before sewing adjust the stitch width, Turn
the handwheel to check the needle
clearance, so that needle does not hit the
needle plate.
When sewing with twin needle, always
proceed slowly, and make sure to maintain a
3
low speed to insure quality stitching.

* The walking foot accessory is optional. It is n ot included
with this machine.
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 on a wide range of fabrics from delicate chiffons
to multiple layers of denim.
The Walking Foot accessory equalizes the feeding of the upper and lower layers of fabric and
improves the matching of plaids, stripes and patterns. It also helps to prevent uneven feeding of
very difficult fabrics.
Lift the presser foot lifter to raise the presser foot bar.
Remove the presser foot holder by unscrewing
(counterclockwise) the presser bar attaching screw.
a
Attach the Walking Foot to the machine as follows:
- The arm (a) should fit into above the needle screw and
b
c
clamp (b).
- Slide the plastic attaching head (c) from your left to right
so that it is fitted into the presser foot bar.
- Lower the presser foot bar.
- Replace and tighten (clockwise) the presser bar
attaching screw.
- Make sure both the needle screw and the presser bar
attaching screw are tightly secured.
Draw the bobbin thread up and place both the bobbin
thread and the needle thread behind the walking foot
attachment.
