Winding the bobbin
12
- Place thread and corresponding spool holder onto spool pin. (1/2)
- Snap thread into thread guide. (3)
- Wind thread clockwise around bobbin winder tension discs. (4)
- Thread bobbin as illustrated and place on spindle. (5)
- Push bobbin winder spindle to right. (6)
- Hold thread end. (7)
- Step on foot control. (8)
- Release the pedal after a few turns. Release the thread and cut as close as possible to the spool. Press the pedal again. Once the spool is full, it rotates slowly. Release the pedal and cut thread. (9)
- Push bobbin winder spindle to left (10) and remove.
Please Note:
When the bobbin winder spindle is in "bobbin winding" position, the machine will not sew and the hand wheel will not turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder spindle to the left (sewing position).

Inserting the bobbin
13
Attention:
Turn power switch to off ("O") before inserting or removing the bobbin.
When inserting or removing the bobbin, the needle must be fully raised.
- Remove the sewing table, then open the hinged cover. (1)
- Pull the bobbin case by the hinged latch (a). (2)
- Remove the bobbin of the bobbin case. (3)
- Hold the bobbin case with one hand. Insert the bobbin so that the thread runs in a clockwise direction (arrow). (4)
- Pull the thread through the slit and under the finger. (5) Leave a 6 inch tail of thread.

- Hold the bobbin case by the hinged latch. (6)
- Make sure the bobbin case finger (b) fits into the notch (c) at the top of the race as shown in. (7)
Note:
If the bobbin case is not properly placed back into the machine, it will fall out form the shuttle immediately after starting to sew.

Thread tension

Upper thread tension (1)
Basic upper thread tension setting: "4". To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next higher number.
To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next lower number. A. Normal thread tension B. Upper thread tension too loose C. Upper thread tension too tight
A

C
Lower thread tension (2)
Note:
The bobbin tension is adjusted correctly during manufacturing, therefore no changes are necessary.
To test the bobbin thread tension, the full bobbin is placed in the bobbin case. The bobbin case and gripper are then suspended by the end of the thread. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about 5 to 10cm, when gently swung and will then remain suspended. If the full bobbin case unwinds, the tension is too slack. If the tension is too tight, it hardly unwinds or does not unwind at all. To adjust, use the screwdriver.

Threading the upper thread
15
This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly as by not doing so .
- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and continue turning the handwheel counterclockwise until the needle just slightly begins to descend. Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
Note:
For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the
power before threading.
- Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder with the thread coming off the spool as shown. For small thread spools, place small side of spool holder next to spool. (2)
- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide (3) and pulling thread through pre-tension spring as illustrated. (4)
- Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel and up left channel. (5) During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread guide.
- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again. (6)
- Now pass thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (7) and then down to the needle which should be threaded from front to back.
- Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye. Trim thread to length with built in thread cutter. (8)
several sewing problems could result

Raise the needle to its highest position. Turn the pattern selector dial to set the desired stitch pattern at
the setting mark. For , select pattern " " with the pattern selector
straight stitch
dial. Adjust the stitch length with the stitch length dial. For , select pattern " " with the pattern selector

Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching
Set the pattern selector dial to " ". The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch
length dial approaches "0". Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below.
Function of stitch length dial for straight stitching
For straight stitch sewing, turn the pattern selector dial to the straight stitch setting. Turn the stitch length dial, and the length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial approaches "0". The length of the individual stitches will increase as the dial approaches "4". Generally speaking, use a longer stitch length when sewing heavier weight fabrics or when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a finer needle or thread.

Choosing stretch stitch patterns
22
To select the stretch stitch patterns, turn the pattern selector dial to the desired pattern, turn the stitch length dial to the indicator marked "S1". Though there are several stretch patterns, here are two examples:
Straight Stretch Stitch (1)
Set the pattern selector dial to " " or " ". Used to add triple reinforcement to stretch and hardwearing
seams. The machine sews two stitches forward and one stitch
backwards.
Ric Rac (2)
Set the pattern selector dial to " ". Ric rac stitch is suitable for firm fabrics like denim, corduroy,
poplin, duck, etc.

Blind hem for firm fabrics.
Set the stitch length dial with the range shown on the diagram at the right. Blind hems, however, are normally sewn with a longer stitch length setting. Sew a test first to make sure the machine settings are appropriate for the fabric.
Blind Hem: Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Fold back (as shown in Fig. 1) against the right side of the fabric with the top edge of the hem extending about 7 mm (1/4") to the right side of the folded fabric.
Start to sew slowly on the fold, making sure the needle touches slightly the folded top to catch one or two fabric threads. (2)
Unfold the fabric when hemming is completed and press.

Sew 1-step buttonholes
24
Buttonhole sewing is a simple process that provides reliable results. However, it is strongly suggested to always make a practice buttonhole on a sample of your fabric and stabilizer.
Making a Buttonhole
1. Using tailor's chalk, mark the position of the buttonhole on
the fabric.
2. Attach the buttonhole foot and set the Pattern Selector Dial to
" ". Set stitch length dial to " ".
3. Lower the presser foot aligning the marks on foot with the
marks on the fabric (1). (The front bar tack will be sewn first.) (Align the mark on the fabric (a) with the mark on the foot (b).)
4. Open the button plate and insert the button (2).
5. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently push it back (3).
6. While lightly holding the upper thread, start the machine.
7. Buttonhole stitching is done in the order (4).
8. Stop the machine when the buttonhole cycle has completed.
Making a Buttonhole on Stretch Fabrics (5)
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy thread or cord under the buttonhole foot. When the buttonhole is sewn the legs will overcast the cord.
1. Mark the position of the buttonhole on the fabric with the
tailor's chalk, attach the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern selector dial to " ". Set stitch length dial to " ".
2. Hook the heavy thread onto the back end of the buttonhole
foot, then bring the two heavy thread ends to the front of the foot, insert them into the grooves and temporarily tie them there.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
4. Once sewing is completed, gently pull the heavy thread to
remove any slack, then trim off the excess.

Turn the handwheel to check if the needle goes into the right and the left hole of the button without any obstruction (adjust the stitch width according to the button).
Slowly sew on the button with about 10 stitches. Select pattern " " and sew a few securing stitches. (2)
If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the button and sew. (3) For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front two holes first (2), push work forward and then sew through the back two holes as described. (3)
