With each application, recommended settings are given. These have been highlighted for
easy identification. You can adjust each setting, however, as desired.
SECTION 3 STRAIGHT STITCHING
The Straight Stitch Needle Plate (C) and Presser Foot (D) help prevent skipped stitches
and control fabric when straight stitching around a curve or close to the fabric edge.
CAUTION: Straight Stitch Needle Plate
and Presser Foot should be used for
straight stitch sewing only.
ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION
The thread tension of your sewing machine has been pre-set in the auto position to suit
most sewing applications. This auto tension feature eliminates the need for you to
adjust the tension lever for the majority of your sewing projects.
Proper tension will produce identical
stitches on both the front and back of
your fabric (1).
Too much tension will produce a tight
stitch, causing a puckered seam (2).
Adjust tension by moving lever up toward
a looser ’ setting.
Always change back to the appropriate
needle plate and presser foot when not
straight stitching.

ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
The stitch length indicator is numbered
0-4. The lower numbers are shorter
stitches. Shorter stitches are best for light
weight fabrics; longer ones for heavy
fabrics. To adjust the length of your
stitches, slide the stitch length lever to
the left or right.
Too little tension will produce a loose
stitch, causing loops in your seams (3).
Adjust tension by moving lever down
toward a tighter "-i-" setting.
19
SEWING A SEAM
You can sew seams easily and accurately when you follow the suggestions beiow.
BASTING
Pin basting and hand basting are easy
ways to make temporary seams before
machine sewing.
• To pin baste, insert pins at stitching
line. NEVER piace pins on the under
side of fabric in contact with the feed.
Do not sew over pins; pull them out as
you stitch.
KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT
To keep seams straight, use one of the
guidelines on the needie plate. The most
commonly used line (1) is extended onto
the slide plate. The crosslines (2) serve
as guides when stitching square corners.
• To hand baste, make long, loose
stitches that can be easily removed.
PLACING FABRIC UNDER PRESSER FOOT
• To place fabric under presser foot, raise
presser foot lifter (1) to its “up” position
(2), where it locks in place.
• The lifter can be raised and held in the
“extra high” position (3) for bulky fabrics.
STITCHING IN REVERSE
• To reinforce beginnings or ends of
seams, push in reverse lever (1). Machine
will straight stitch in reverse for as long
as you hold the lever in.
• For continuous reverse stitching, push
lever in and slide it to the left to lock.
Unlock reverse lever by sliding it back
to the right and letting it return to its
normal position.
USING THE SEAM GUIDE (N)
For extra help in keeping seams straight,
particularly for very narrow or very wide
seams, use the seam guide which comes
with your machine.
To attach the seam guide, place screw of
seam guide into the hole in the bed of the
machine, on the right side of slide plate
(1)-
Line up the straight edge of the guide
with the needle plate guideline for desired
seam width and tighten .screw.
* •
TURNING SQUARE CORNERS
To turn a square corner, use crosslines
on slide plate.
• Line up fabric with extended guidelines
on needle plate and stitch seam, slow
ing speed as you approach corner.
When bottom edge of fabric reaches
cornering crosslines (2) on slide plate,
stop stitching.
Be sure needle is down in fabric.
Raise presser foot slightly. Turn fabric,
bringing bottom edge in line with guide
line (1).
Continue stitching seam.
20
21
SEWING CURVED SEAMS
• Baste seam line.
• Use a short stitch for elasticity and
strength.
• Guide fabric to follow curve.
• The seam guide may also be used
when sewing curved seams. Attach
seam guide at an angle so that the
edge closer to the needle acts as a
guide.

FREE MOTION EMBROIDERY
In free motion embroidery, you sew without
a presser foot, and control the fabric with
an embroidery hoop.
When zipper is to the left of needle,
attach left side of zipper foot to shank.
The needle will enter left notch of foot,
sewing close along zipper teeth.
Attach right side of zipper foot to shank
when a zipper is to the right side of the
needle. The needle will enter right notch
of foot, sewing close along zipper teeth.
• Attach Feed Cover (F).
• Be sure to lower presser foot lifter.
• When embroidering, as shown, use
straight stitches for stems, and zig-zag
stitches, at varying widths, for leaves
and petals. Lengthen stitches by mov
ing the hoop faster or slower.
NOTE: The Darning and Embroidery Foot
(G) may be used to help control fabric.

SECTION 4 SPECIAL STITCHES
The Special Stitches on your machine have a variety of practical and decorative uses.
In this section are recommended applications for each stitch. However, these stitches
can be used for many other sewing projects.
Before beginning a sewing project, check
the Fabric. Thread and Needle Table on
page 8 for the best needle and thread
combination for your fabric.
With each application, recommended
settings have been given. These have
been highlighted for easy identification.
You can adjust each setting, however, as
desired.
ADJUSTING STITCH WIDTH
To widen or narrow a Special Stitch
pattern, move the stitch width lever off
Straight Stitch, [[] , toward any other
width setting at the right.
NOTE: The double patterns on your stitch
width indicator are for twin needle sew
ing. Attachments for this special feature
are available from your sewing center.
ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION
Some Special Stitch patterns may require looser thread tension than others. To find the
proper tension for your application, make a test sample with the thread and fabric you
will be using.
Proper tension produces a smooth, even
stitch (1).
Too much tension will produce a tight
stitch (2). causing fabric to pucker.
Adjust tension by moving lever up toward
