threading your sewing machine

Like all sewing machines that produce
what is called a "lockstitch", your se
wing machine sews with two threads.
The upper thread comes from the spool
and is threaded through the eye of the
needle. The lower thread comes from
bobbin, the small transparent spool

that you wind using the machine. It is

best to wind the bobbin before the
needle.

THE SPOOL HOLDER

• Remove spool holder from spindle by

sliding it to the left.

• Place spool of thread on horizontal
spool pin. If spool being used has a
retaining slit, this should be placed
against the spool cushion on the right.

• Select correct spool holder according to

type and diameter of the end of the
spool being used. The diameter of the
end of the spool holder should always
be larger than that of the spool itself.

• Press spool holder firmly against spool.

Spool Holders

THE BOBBIN THREAD
Winding the Bobbin

• Raise the presser foot and turn the hand
wheel toward you until needle is at its
highest position.

• To disengage clutch, place your thumb

directly on bobbin symbol located In
side hand wheel disc and press down.

• Open slide plate to make bobbin

accessible.

• Lift out bobbin and close slide plate to
make sure needle plate is secure while
winding.

• Pass thread, from the inside, through
hole in bobbin and place bobbin on

spindle.

• push bobbin and spindle to the right

to engage the bobbin winder. Hold
thread end as shown and start the

machine, winding at moderate speed.

• Cut off thread end after a few coils

have been wound on the bobbin.

• When required amount of thread has

been wound (winding will stop when
bobbin is full), stop machine. Cut con
necting thread

• Push bobbin and spindle toward the
left to disengage bobbin winder. Re
move bobbin.

• Release hand wheel disc for sewing.

RAISING THE BOBBIN THREAD

Now that you have wound the bobbin and

threaded the needle, you will need to raise

the bobbin thread through the needle hole

in the needle plate.

1. Hold needle thread lightly with left
hand and turn hand wheel slowly

toward you so that needle enters hole

in needle plate.

2. Continue turning hand wheel and
holding needle thread until needle
rises. Tighten your hold on the needle
thread and bring up bobbin thread in a

loop.

ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH

The stitch length dial regulates the length

of stitches. The numbers on the dial ex
press stitch length in mm; the higher the
number the longer the stitch. Generally,
shorter stitches are best for lightweight
fabric; longer ones for heavy fabric. The
0—1 area is used for the adjustment of
zigzag satin stitching.

Setting the Selector

• Turn dial so that the stitch length
desired is positioned under the ▼
symbol on the control panel.

• To shorten the stitch length, turn the
dial clockwise to a lower number.

• To lengthen the stitch, turn the dial
counterclockwise to a higher number.

For reverse stitching, press the reverse­stitch push button (located in the center

of the dial) In as far as It will go and hold
in place (the button can be pushed in
while the machine is sewing). Release
pressure on the push button to return to
iforward stitching.

setting is an all purpose setting for sewing

a wide variety of fabrics of different
weights and textures. Settings above and

below NORM setting are also provided.
When you need extra control, regulate the
setting to heavier or lighter pressure to

suit fabric being sewn.

When darning without an embroidery

hoop, set dial at lowest setting, ^ . See

page 42for instructions.

® For darning, set dial on ft .

Increase Decrease

Adjusting Thraad Tansion

REGULATING THREAD TENSION

Correct tension is important because too

much or too little will weaken your seams

or cause your fabric to pucker, Make a
test sample with fabric and thread you

plan to use and examine it. A perfect stitch

will have needle and bobbin threads

locked between two layers of fabric with

no loops on top or bottom and no puckers.
The tension dial regulates the degree of

tension on your needle thread. Set it

according to the type of thread and fabric

you use. The numbers on the dial eliminate

guesswork in duplicating settings.

If the stitches in your test sample look

loose, increase needle-thread tension. If
the fabric puckers, decrease tension.

® To increase tension, turn dial to higher

number.

® To decrease tension, turn dial to lower

number.

18

sewing a seam

PIN BASTING

Pin basting is a time-saver and can be
used when you sew easy-to-handle

fabric. Use fine pins and place them:

• On top of the fabric (never on the
underside in contact with the feed).

• At right angles to the stitching line.

• Just nipping into the fabric at the
stitching line (never extending under
both sides of the presser foot).

STARTING A SEAM

1. Set stitch length dial for desired length.

2. With presser foot up, align fabric
with appropriate seam guideline on
needle plate (as described on the fol
lowing page). Position needle in fa
bric about 1.2 cm from the back ed
ge.

3. Lower presser foot. Backstitch to the
edge of the fabric for reinforcement by
pusfling in the reverse-stitch push
button located in the center of the
stitch length dial. Hold the button
until the stitches reach the edge of the
fabric and then release for forward
stitching.

STRAIGHT STITCHING (Continued)

Using Guidelines

KEEPING THE SEAM STRAIGHT

As you stitch, use one of the numbered

lines on the needle plate as a guide for

keeping the seams straight. Numbers in
dicate distances in eights of a cm from
the needle. If you want a 1.5 cm seam, for
example, keep the righthand edge of your
fabric on the number 5 guideline.

Fabric after Turning

Pivoting at Corner

20

TURNING SQUARE CORNERS

To turn a square corner 1.5 cm from

the fabric edge, you need not measure

or mark thé seam. Simply use the

crosslines on the slide plate.

• Line up your fabric with right or left
guideline 5 on the needle plate. Stitch
seam, slowing speed as you approach
corner.

• Stop stitching, with the needle down,

when the bottom edge of the fabric
reaches the cornering crosslines on the
slide plate.

• Raise presser foot ^and turn fabric on
needle, bringing bottom edge of fabric
in line with guideline 5.

• Lower the presser foot and stitch in new
direction.

GUIDING AND SUPPORTING

THE FABRIC

Most fabrics need only to be guided in
front of the presser foot. Some fabrics,
however, require support while being

stitched. Filmy sheers, panne velvet, and
tricots, for example, need to be held taut

in front and back of the presser foot while
being sewn.

\N/K F^N IN G!! Do not pull the
fabric while you are stitching as this may
deflect the needle causing it to break.

REINFORCING END OF SEAM

1. Stitch to the fabric edge.

2. Push in reverse-stitch push button
and backstitch 1.5 cm to reinforce
the end of the seam.

Guiding Fabric

3. Raise presser foot and remove fabric

by drawing it to the back and left.

4. Cut threads on thread cutter at rear of
presser bar.

ADJUSTING NEEDLE-THREAD

TENSION

Zig-zag stitching requires less needle-

thread tension than straight stitching.

Make a test sample with the fabric and

thread you plan to use so that you can

adjust the tension properly. The stitches
should lie flat against the fabric without
causing the fabric to pucker.

If the stitches are not flat and the fabric is
puckered, reduce needle-thread tension
by turning the dial to a lower number.

ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH

Any stitch length setting from 1 to 4 will
give you an open zig-zag stitch. The higher
the number, the more open, or farther
apart, your stitches will be. The stitch area,
between 0 and 1 bn the dial, is used for
adjusting zig-zag satin stitching (see next
page for specific instructions).

satin stitching

Satin stitching—a series of closely spaced

zig-zag stitches that form a smooth, satin

like surface—is useful for both practical
and decorative work.
When you wish to produce a satin stitch
for appliqué or bar tacks, for example,

make a test sample first so that you can

adjust the stitch length and thread tension

properly. Soft fabrics may require a back

ing to ensure firm satin stitching.

2. Run machine at a slow speed.

3. Gradually turn the stitch length dial

clockwise until stitches are closely

spaced and form a smooth surface.

Adjusting Thread Tension

Satin stitching requires less tension than
straight stitching or open zig-zag stitch
ing. Futrhermore, the wider the stitch, the
lighter the tension on the thread must be.

Notice the stitching oh your sample. If the
fabric is puckered, lower the needle­thread tension by turning the tension dial
to a lower number.

24

By using a twin needle, you can produce
two parallel, closely spaced, decorative
lines of stitching simultaneously. You
can use either one or two colors of thread

and you can choose either a straight-

stitch or zig-zag stitch.

INSERTING THE TWIN NEEDLE

Before inserting the twin needle, make
sure you are using the general-purpose
needle plate and that the needle position
dial is set at X ^ ^nd the stitch width
does not exceed the settings shown on
page 25.
To insert the twin needle, simply raise
needle to its highest point and loosen the
needle-clamp screw. Remove the single
needle and insert the twin needle in its
place. Tighten needle-clamp screw
securely.

threading for twin-needle stitching

For best results, use No. 50 mercerized or synthetic thread. Thread the

machine as for single-needle stitching, except pass thread between center
and back tension discs, and through right eye of needle. Attach secondary
spool pin in hole on top cover. Pass thread from second spool through guide

• General Purpose Presser Foot

• Feed Cover Plate

(left)

Flat buttons can be sewn on quickly and
easily using the plain zig-zag stitch. The
space between the holes in the button
determines stitch width settings. For

buttons vyith standard hole spacing, use

settings I and | as shown. For buttons

with unusual hole spacing, use setting j

and increase or decrease the width ( |')

as necessary.

1. Attach feed-cover needle plate (see
page 7).

2. Set stitch width at i and needle

position at (left). Position button
under foot and lower needle into
center of left hole by turning hand
wheel toward you. Lower foot. Turn

hand wheel toward you until needle
rises out of button and is just above

the foot

3. Set stitch width at medium-wide zig
zag ( I ) setting. Check stitch width

by turning hand wheel slowly toward

you; the needle should enter the right

hole of the button. Take six or more
zig-zag stitches to attach button. End
on leftside.

4. To fasten stitching, return to stitch
width ! and take three or four stitches.

Remove feed-cover plate from the
general-purpose needle plate when
work is completed.

BUTTONHOLE POSITION

Accurate guidelines are essential to keep
buttonholes a uniform distance from the
faced edge of the garment evenly spaced,
and on the grain of the fabric. For center
closures, place guidelines as follows:

1. Mark the center line of the garment as

indicated on your pattern. This guide
line can be hand basted and should

follow a lengthwise fabric thread.

2. Mark a position guideline for each

buttonhole.

• Horizontal buttonholes are pla

ced to extend 3 mm beyond the
center-line basting of the gar

ment. Horizontal guidelines for the
buttonholes should follow a cross
wise thread of the fabric, and, if
basted, be longer than the finished
length of the buttonhole. Determine

the length of the buttonhole (as

described below) and mark ends of
each buttonhole vertically.

• Vertical buttonholes are placed so

that the center-line basting of the
garment is in the center of the

buttonholes. Determine buttonhole
length and mark ends of each button
hole horizontally across the center
line and use the center-line basting
as a buttonhole guide when stitch
ing.

measurement for each bar tack (the
closing stitches at each end of the but
tonhole). To find the length of the but
ton opening, cut a slit In a scrap of fa
bric the diameter of the button you in
tend to use. Increase length of opening
until button slips through easily.

STITCH WIDTH

Two stitch width settings are required for making buttonholes: one for side
stitching and one for the bar tack. Two possible combinations are illustrated.

UNGERIE SEAMS

To make seams in lingerie durable and

flexible, use a combination of straight and
zig-zag stitching.

Method 1

For 1.5 cm bias seam in woven fabric:

• Straight-stitch the seam (with stitch

width at i ) on wrong side of fabric.

• Press both seam allowances in the
same direction. Then, from the right
side, top-stitch with narrow zig-zag
stitching, letting needle alternately
enter seam line and seam thickness.

Method 2

For narrow seams in nylon tricot:

• Cut fabric for 1.5 cm seam allowance.

For a 1.5 cm Seam

• Straight-stitch seam line on wrong side
of fabric. Then place a line of medium
wide, open zig-zag stitching close to
the straight stitching.

SEAM FINISHES

• Needle Position: JL

• Stitch Width: \ or % (maximum)

• Stitch Length: 1,2 to 3 mm depending on
choice of stitch and fabric

• General Purpose Needle Plate and Foot

Seam edges support the garment and
should be given a durable finish if the
fabric is likely to ravel. There are two

methods of finishing seams in such
fabfics: trimming seam edge or over

edging. Make a test sample first to deter
mine which method best suits your fabric.

hints on sewing special fabrics

LEATHER-LOOK VINYL

• Use masking tape or zipper adhesive
tape instead of pins or basting to hold
seams, zippers and hems in place for
stitching.

• Stitch with a long stitch (1 to 3 mm).
A short stitch may cut the fabric.

• Sew with a steady, even pace and
stitch accurately. Seams cannot be
ripped out without leaving needle
marks in the fabric.

• The shiny side of some vinyls tends to
stick to metal surfaces. Use a strip of
tissue paper between the fabric and
metal machine surfaces to prevent this.

• Topstitching holds seams and garment
edges smooth and flat and adds a
decorative note.

• Reinforce button and buttonhole areas
with interfacing. Bound buttonholes
are the best choice for vinyls with knit

Diagonal Stitching

Across the Point

backing.

• For sharp points on collars and lapels,
take one or two stitches diagonally
across the point to allow enough space
to smoothly enclose the seam edge.

CIRÉ (Wet-Look Taffeta and Tricot)

• Use masking tape or zipper adhesive tape instead of pins or basting to
hold seams, zippers, and hems In place for stitching.

• Stitch accurately; seams cannot be ripped out because needle marks
femain in the fabric.

• Sew seams under light tension by holding fabric slightly taut at front and
back of needle.

• Stitch ciré taffeta with a fairly long stitch 2,5 to 3 mm and use an
enclosed edge finish for seams and hems.

• Stitch ciré knits with a medium length-stitch 2 mm and use a fine
ball-point needle.

• Machine-worked buttonholes (as well as bound buttonholes) can be
made in ciré fabric. Always use an interfacing and make sure the close
zig-zag stitches do not cut the fabric.

32

DEEP-PILE FABRICS (Fake Fur)

• Pin, rather than baste, seams. Place
pins at close intervals at right angles
to the seam line. Pins with colored
heads are easy to see gnd remove.

• Sew in direction of nap.

• Stitch with a fairly long machine
stitch(2,5to3mm)and use polyester/­cotton thread in a size 90 or 100
Type 705 H needle.

• As seam is stitched, smooth pile away
from seam allowance with a darning
needle or upholstery pin.

• After stitching seams with a 1.5 cm
seam allowance, use small hand
scissors to shear pile from entire se
am allowance to reduce bulk.

• Stitch 6 mm pre-shrunk tape into

neckline and shoulder seams for sta
bility and reinforcement or stitch
with the straight stretch stitch.

• Leather and leather-look fabrics com
plement fur fabrics; use them for bound
buttonholes and easy button loops.

• Coat hems are less bulky If they are

narrow and finished with a 8 cm fa
bric facing or grosgrain ribbon.

Smoothing Pile away

from Seam Allowance

Deep-Pile Fabrics

• Slash through the center fold of darts
and finger-press open, or stitch with a
narrow zig-zag stitch and trim away
excess fabric after stitching.

VELVET AND VELVETEENt

• Use a light-pressure dial setting to prevent crushing pile.

• Mark and baste with silk thread.

• Use a Type 705 H, size 80 needle, and a fine thread for seaming. "A"
silk or nylon thread is recommended for velvet.

• Always stitch In the direction of the nap.

• For unpuckered seams, pin or hand baste together and then stitch under
light tension (see page 18). Extra-long, straight seams may be machine

basted with a long, wide zig-zag stitch.

• To sew pann§ velvet, use a ball-point needle and a shorter-than-normal

stitch length (1.5 to 2 mm).

TOPSTITCHING

A practical, simple way to accent the
lines of a dress or coat is to place one or
more rows of stitching along collars,
lapels, facing edges, pockets, seams, etc.
For a tailored look, use lines of regular
straight stitching; sew them with button
hole twist for added emphasis. For decora
tive interest, use a zig-zag stitch.

APPLIQUÉ

Applique adds beauty and interest to clothing and household linens. You
can create your own design, trace a simple outline from a coloring book,
or use a motif cut from a printed fabric. Fabrics of like or different texture
combine equally well.

A closely spaced zig-zag stitch is most commonly used in appliqué work.
Athough you may vary stitch width to accomodate fabric weave or tex

ture, never allow the stitch to be too wide.

Preparation

• Baste appliqué design to fabric.

• Outline design with straight stitching

(use a short stitch).

• Remove basting and press.

• Attach special purpose foot.

Appliquéing

1. Set machine for desired stitch width.

Adjust stitch length in the 0-1 area of
the stitch length dial.

2. Outline the entire design with appliqué

stitching.

3. Cut away the fabric on the outer edges
of the stitching with embroidery
scissors.

ATTACHING ELASTIC

Elastic will remain stretchable when it is
attached with the plain zig-zag stitch.
The flexible joining produced by this
stitch allows elastic banding to be
stitched under, over, or between fabric

layers, making it particularly useful in the

construction of lingerie and swimsuits.

1. Trim ragged edges.

2. Place underlay on the wrong side of
tear for reinforcement. (It is best not
to baste or pin the underlay since you
will be bringing the edges of tear
together in the next step.)

3. Stitch on the right side, bringing the
edges of the tear together.

4. Shorten stitch length at ends and
corners to give extra strength.

5. Trim underlay.

Bar Tacks
Bar tacks, to reinforce points of strain, are

made with the zig-zag stitch at satin stitch
