4Outlet
The symbol “ 
” of a switch indicates the “ OFF ” position of a switch.
For appliances with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Foot controller Model YC-482J-1 or TJC-150 is used with sewing machine Model 6019.
Controlling Sewing Speed
Foot control:
Sewing speed is varied by the foot control.
The harder you depress the foot control, the faster the machine runs.

Balancing Thread Tension
Thread tension is adjusted depending on the sewing materials, layers of fabric and other sewing conditions.
1Thread tension dial
2Setting mark
3Needle thread
4Bobbin thread
5Right side of the fabric
6Wrong side of the fabric
1Correct tension:
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two layers of fabric
1For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not show on the right side of the fabric, and the needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side of the fabric.
2Needle thread tension is too tight:
The bobbin thread will appear on the right side of the fabric.
Loosen the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a lower number.
3Needle thread tension is too loose:
The needle thread will appear on the wrong side of the fabric.
Tighten the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a higher number.

*For general sewing, use needle size #11/75 or #14/90.
*A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will no be marred. Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.
*Always test the thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric, which will be used for actual sewing.
*In general, use same thread for needle and bobbin.
*When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a BLUE TIPPED needle. The blue tipped needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
