Changing Needles

Raise the needle by pressing the Up/Down Needle Button and lower the Presser Foot. Turn off the Power Switch.

Loosen the Needle Clamp Screw by turning it counterclockwise.

Remove the Needle from the Needle Clamp.

1 Needle Clamp Screw 2 Needle 3Needle Clamp

Insert a new needle into the Needle Clamp with the Flat Side of the Needle to the rear.

When inserting the Needle into the Needle

Clamp, push it up as far as it will go and tighten the Needle Clamp Screw firmly.

4Flat Side of the Needle

To check needle straightness, place the flat side of the needle onto something flat (a needle plate, glass etc.) The gap between the needle and the flat surface should be consistent. Never use a blunt needle.

Selecting a needle

For general sewing, use needle size 11 or 14. A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred. Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.

In the needle case you will find one size 14, three blue tipped needles and one twin needle. Use a blue tipped needle to eliminate skipped stitches when sewing knits and synthetic fabrics.

There are also specialty needles available from your sewing machine dealer. A denim needle with a sharp tip is used to effectively pierce dense fabrics such as denim and canvas. For topstitching, a special topstitching needle with a larger eye accommodates heavier weight thread. Leather needles punch small holes in leather and suede allowing the thread to follow through the hole.

Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics are permanent and are often caused by damaged needles. Always purchase a good quality thread. It should be strong, smooth and consistent in thickness.

Raising the Presser Foot

The Presser Foot Lifter raises and lowers the Presser Foot.

You can raise the Presser Foot higher than the normal up position exerting more pressure when lifting the Presser Foot Lifter. This allows for easy removal of the Presser Foot and helps you to place thick fabrics under it.

1Presser Foot Lifter

Knee Lifter

The Knee Lifter is extremely helpful when making patchworks, quilting etc, since it allows you to handle the fabric while your knee controls the presser foot.

Attaching the Knee Lifter

Match the Ribs on the Knee Lifter with the Notches in the Knee Lifter Socket and insert the Knee Lifter.

1Knee Lifter 2 Ribs 3 Notches 4 Knee Lifter Socket

Using the Knee Lifter

Push the Knee Lifter with your knee to easily move the Presser Foot up and down. You can control how high the foot rises by the amount of knee pressure you use.

Removing and Attaching the Presser Foot

Press the Up/Down Needle Button to raise the needle to its highest position and raise the Presser Foot Lifter.

Press the Red Button on the back of the foot

holder. The Presser Foot will drop off.

Various Presser Feet and Their Uses

1 Zigzag Foot A:

This is the most versatile foot. It can be used for various stitches including straight stitches and zigzag stitches. It is designed to achieve firm and neat seam results.

2 Overedge Foot C:

This foot is exclusively for overedging. The brush on the foot effectively prevents skipped stitches on the raw edge of fabrics.

3Rolled Hem Foot D:

This special foot is for sewing a rolled hem. The curl of the foot helps to form a hem in a constant width.

4 Zipper Foot E:

This foot is for sewing zippers. The zipper teeth are guided by the edges on the bottom of the foot.

5 Satin Stitch Foot F:

This clear plastic foot is ideal for satin stitches and decorative stitches. The center groove on the bottom of the foot ensures smooth feeding of dense stitches.

6 Blind Hem Foot G:

This foot is specially designed for blind hemming. The guide on the foot helps feed the fabric and sew a straight and nearly invisible blind-hem.

7 Cording Foot H:

This foot is specially designed to hold one or three strands of cording to create attractive braiding.

8 Overcasting Foot M:

This foot is specially designed to simulate professional style overlocking. The wires on the foot effectively prevent the fabric edge from puckering or rolling.

9 Button Sewing Foot T:

This foot is exclusively used for attaching a button. It holds a button securely in place and allows fine adjustment of button position.

10 1/4˝ Seam Foot O:

This foot is useful for patchwork quilt. The guide on the foot maintains an exact 1/4˝ (0.7 cm) seam allowance.

11 Automatic Buttonhole Foot R:

This foot is for sensor buttonhole and for darning. Place a button in the button holder in the rear of the foot. This automatically sets the buttonhole size.

12 Embroidery Foot P:

This foot is a special attachment for Professional-Style Embroidery.

13 Basting/Darning Foot P-2:

This is a special foot for basting. It holds fabrics while taking a stitch, synchronizing with the needle bar movement. This foot can also be used for freehand embroidery or quilting.

14 Walking Foot:

This is a special attachment for hard-to-feed materials. This foot effectively prevents fabrics from shifting and puckering. It is great for quilting and matching plaids.

Pressure Dial

The Pressure Dial should be set at “3” for regular sewing.

Reduce the pressure to “2” for applique, cut work, drawn work, basting and embroidery.

Set the pressure to “1” when sewing chiffon, lace, organdy and other fine fabrics.

Velour and knits with a lot of stretch may also require a “1” setting.

Turn the Pressure Dial and set the desired number at the Setting Mark.
