To check the quality of a needle, place the flat
side of the needle on a flat surface (the needle
plate, a piece of glass, etc.)
The space between the needle and the surface must
be constant. Never use a bent or blunt needle. A faulty
needle can be a constant cause of problems and

or artificial silks.

Fabric, Thread and Needle Chart
• For general sewing, use needles sizes
11/75 or 14/90.
• Use a fine thread and needle to sew lightweight
fabrics so as not to damage the fabric.
• Heavy textiles require a
needle large enough to pierce the fabric
without fraying the needle thread.
• Always test the needle size on a small
piece of the fabric you propose to use.
• Generally, use the same thread for the
needle as for the bobbin.
NOTICED:
When sewing elastic, very fine or
synthetic fabrics, use a blue needle
(#990311000, sold separately).
The blue needle effectively prevents
skipped stitches.

The ideal straight stitch interlaces the
threads between two layers of fabric, as

For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin
thread goes off the right side (top

shows slightly on the wrong side

• Start of a seam
Raise the presser foot and place the fabric along the
guide line on the needle plate (the most commonly used is
1.6 cm).
Lower the needle where you want to start sewing. Lower the
presser foot and pull the threads back. Gently press the
foot control. Guide the fabric along the guide line,
letting the fabric feed naturally.
• Finishing a seam
To secure the end of the seams, press the reverse button
and sew several stitches in reverse.
Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric, pull the
threads back, and cut them with the thread cutter. This will cut
the threads to the correct length for the start of the next
seam.
Attention:
Do not place your fingers near the presser foot
when guiding the fabric. The needle clamp screw
may strike and injure you.
Change the sewing direction
Stop the machine and turn the handwheel towards you so
that the needle lowers into the fabric.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle in the desired sewing
direction. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing.
Using the Sewing Guides
The interval between the lines is 1/8ÿ (3 mm) these are
engraved at 3/8ÿ, 4/8ÿ, 5/8ÿ, and 6/8ÿ.
