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
4
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.
18
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.

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.

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
5
6
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
7 Cording Foot H:
This foot is specially designed to hold one or
three strands of cording to create
attractive braiding.
22
8
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
14
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.
