needle-fabric combinations
Correct needle selection is closely related to stitch quality and appearance. Damaged fabric is almost always caused by a needle that is bent, burred or that is an inappropriate style for the fabric and thread you are using.
The three types of needles most commonly used are the regular, ball point, and wedge. To obtain good results, the correct size and type
of needle for the fabric and thread you are |
|
using must be chosen. Refer to the Fabric, |
|
Thread and Needle Table, page 8. |

operating the machine
CONNECTING MACHINE
•Before plugging in your machine, be sure the electrical information on the side of the machine A, below the hand wheel agrees with the range marked on your electrical meter.
•Connect plug B to machine and plug C to your socket outlet.
•To turn the machine and light on or off,
press switch as shown.
• To run the machine and control speed,
press the speed controller D with your foot. The harder you press, the faster the ma chine will sew.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power line plug from the socket outlet when changing needles, feet or needle plates or when leaving the machine unattended. This eliminates the possibility of starting the machine by accidentally pressing the speed controller.

the bobbin thread
Your sewing machine uses two threads to form a stitch. The upper thread comes from the spool and is threaded through the eye of the needle. The lower thread comes from the bob bin. Wind the bobbin before threading the machine.
WINDING THE BOBBIN |
|
Preparation Steps |
|
1. Raise the presser foot and turn hand wheel |
|
toward you until needle is in highest po- |
|
2. Loosen hand wheel knob A by turning it to |
|
ward you with the right hand while holding |
4 |
hand wheel with the left hand. |
3. Open slide plate and lift out bobbin.
4. Place spool pin felt on pin.
Winding Steps
• Place thread spool on spool pin with |
thread |
|
retaining slit B on top. (Break paper |
at the |
|
end of |
spool if necessary). If you are using |
|
a tube |
of thread affix spool pin extension |
|
to spool pin to ensure even flow of thread.
•Lead thread around bobbin winder tension disc C and through small hole in bobbin from inside out. •
•Place bobbin on spindle and push bobbin
to right to engage bobbin winder.
•Hold thread end as shown and start the ma chine. Cut off thread end after a few coils have been wound.
•When required amount of thread has been
wound (winding will stop when bobbin is full), stop the machine and cut connecting
•Push bobbin to left and remove bobbin from
•Hold hand wheel and tighten hand wheel
n
THREADING THE BOBBIN CASE
1. Hold bobbin so that thread unwinds in the direction shown, and put bobbin into bobbin case.
2. Pull thread into notch A, draw it back under the tension spring and back into slot B.
3. Draw approximately 10 cm (4 inches) of thread across the bobbin.
4. Close slide plate allowing thread to enter slot between the needle plate and slide plate.
