The

bobbin

thread

tension

has

been

set

for

a

medium

grade

and need

not

be

adjusted

for

all

ordinary

sewing

operations.

If

a

special

sewing

operation

should

require

a

looser

or

tighter

tension,

turn

the

small

knurled

screw

on

the

bobbin

case

with

the

tip

of

your

thumb

as

follows:

Turn

it

left

for looser

tension.

-

Turn

it

right

for

tighter

tension.

Determine

whether

the

bobbin

thread

tension

is

set

for

a

medium

grade

by

holding

the

thread

end

between

thumb

and

forefinger

and

letting

the

bobbin

case

hang

freely.

The

tension

should

be

strong

enough

to

keep

the

bobbin

case

from

being

pulled

down

by

its

own

weight.

However,

as

you

jerk

your

hand

slightly,

the

bobbin

case

should

gradually

slide

down.

Do

not

turn

the

knurled,

screw

too

far

to the

left

to

keep

it

from

falling

out.

Choose

the

loweF

tension

slightly

stronger

when

doing

ornamental

stitching

to

be

sure

you

always

have

a

neat

satin

stitch

on

the

right

side

of

the

fabric.

The

upper

tension

is

so

designed

that

all

grades

of

tension

—

loose

to

tight

—

can

be

covered

with

one

complete

turn

of

the

tension

dial.

The

numbers

on

the

tension

dial

indicate

different

degrees

of

tension.

The

higher

the

number,

the

greater

the

tension.

Only

in

very

rare

cases

will

it

be

necessary

to

reset

the

tension.

For

ordinary

sewing,

the

upper

tension

should

be

set

between

3

and

5.

Your

The

stitch

length

control

serves

to

regulate

the

stitch

length

and

to

limit

it

in

sewing

backwards.

The

numbers

on

the

control

indicate

the

stitch

length

(te

higher

the

number,

the

longer

the

stitch).

When

the

control

is

set

on

“0”,

the

machine

ceases

feeding.

To

regulate

the

stitch

length,

turn

the

control

until

the

number

indicating

the

desired

stitch

length

is

opposite

the

mark

on

the

left

edge

of

the

slot.

(The

position

of

the

mark

is

indicated

by

an

arrow

in

the

illustration).

To

sew

in

reverse,

simply

press

the

finger-tip

control

down.

When

the

control

is

released,

the

machine

resumes

forward

sewing.

This

feature

is

ideal

for

backtccking

the

beginning

or

end

of

a

and

for
