STRAIGHT STITCHING

The good looking appearance of your stitching is largely determined by the balanced tension of both top and bobbin threads. The tension is well balanced when these two threads ‘lock’ in the middle of layers of fabric you are sewing.

If, when you start to sew, you find that the stitching is irregular, you will need to adjust the tension control.

Make any adjustments with presser foot ‘down’.

ZIGZAG STITCHING

The top thread may appear on the bottom depending on the thread, fabric, type of stitch and sewing speed, but the bobbin thread must never appear on the top of the fabric.

BOBBIN THREAD TENSION REQUIRES ADJUSTMENT LESS FREQUENTLY THAN THE TOP THREAD TENSION.

If the tension is well balanced, but the fabric puckers badly, both top and bobbin thread tensions may be too tight and have to be adjusted.

To test if the bobbin thread tension is correct, suspend the bobbin

case by the thread and jerk it once. Correct bobbin tension will result in the thread unwinding only one inch or two. If too loose it will unwind continuously. If too tight the thread will not unwind at all.

When adjusting the tension on the bobbin case, make only slight adjustments with a screwdriver.

STARTING TO SEW

Before placing the material on the machine, see that the ends of the threads have been drawn about 6” (15 cm) to the rear of the machine. Hold on the threads during the sewing of the first 3 or 4 stitches of the seam.

Fasten each seam by back tacking at the beginning and end of the seam.

REMOVING FABRIC

First turn the handwheel towrads you until the needle is at its highest position, then raise the presser foot, draw materials to the rear and cut off excess thread with the thread cutter located on the bottom of face cover as shown.

TURNING A SQUARE CORNER

To turn a square corner 5/8” (16 mm) from the fabric edge, stop stitching with the needle tip piercing the fabric, when reaching the cornering guide as shown. Raise the presser foot, turn fabric.

New stitching line will align with 5/8” (16 mm) seam guide on side of needle plate. Lower the presser foot and begin stitching in new direction.

This is a strong stitch because as its name implies, it makes three short stitches where the normal zigzag makes only one.

For this reason it is highly recommended for overcasting all types of fabrics.

It is also ideal for mending tears, patching, sewing towelling, patch-work and attaching flat elastic.

Lingerie stitch is for seaming and overcasting sheer, soft fabrics in one operation. It also produces a delicate shell hem on lingerie and other fine garments.

SEAM AND OVERCAST IN ONE

Place the right sides of the fabric to gether and position under the presser foot so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the raw edge.

Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away excess fabric close to the stitching line.

AGGOTINGAGGOTING

This is a popular decorative stitch (used in sleeves or fronts of blouses and dresses). To attach two separate pieces of fabric together, leave a little space inbetween. To prepare the fabric: Fold under the seam allowances on the cut edges, and press. Baste folded edges to tissue paper with about 1/8" space between. Stitch over the 1/8" allowance, just catching the fabric fold on both sides with needle. Remove bastings and paper; press.

ADJUSTING STRETCH STITCH BALANCE

Stitch length/super (stretch) stitch control should be at W mark for most materials. Depending upon the type of fabric used, you may need to adjust this Control to match forward stitches of stretch sewing with reverse motion stitches. If the stitches are too open, turn the Control to S position; if the stitches overlap, turn the Control to L position.

TRIPLE STRAIGHT STITCH

Triple straight stitch is far stronger than ordinary straight stitch because it locks

three times forwards.

It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of sportswear in stretch and nonstretch fabrics, and for curved seams which take a lot of strain.

Use this stitch also to top-stitch round lapels, collars and cuffs to give a professional finish to your garments.

RIC-RAC STITCH

Ric-rac is a quick method of finishing a raw edge and providing a decorative top-stitch in one operation. It is ideal for edging neckbands, armholes, sleeves and hems.

OVERLOCK STITCH

This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in making sportswear - it forms and finishes the seam in one operation. It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of older garments.

SMOCKING STITCH

1. Make a straight line of gathers across the fabric that you wish to smock.

2. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of gathering, stitch over the gathers. The design will be a series of small diamonds.

TIPS ON DESIGN STITCHING

1. Always make a practice design on a scrap of the fabric you plan to use.

2. Start with a full bobbin and plenty of thread on the spool to avoid running out of thread in the middle of your design.

3. Reduce the top thread tension slightly.

4. On a very soft fabric you may want to use a tissue paper backing or organdy that can be cut away afterwards.

4. Stitch backward until needle reaches beginning of buttonhole.

5. Stitch forward to the end of buttonhole mark to complete buttonhole.

CORDED BUTTONHOLES

Hook filler cord (crochet thread or buttonhole twist) to the spur and pull both ends of the cord forward under the foot. Sew buttonhole in the way that zigzag stitches cover the cord.

When completed, release the cord from foot, pull ends of cord forward and snip off extra length.
