^ See Fig. 17 ' Many other control settings are available to make the machine sew a straight stitch when the zig

sults on fabric or very soft material.

SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH

The length of the stitch is regulated by the dial, 11, shown in Fig. 17. Near 0 is the shortest stitch and 6 is the longest, but the dial may be set at any spot between markings for a variety of lengths. Turn the dial to the right to lengthen and to the left to shorten the stitch. The number of the stitch length you choose should appear above the center line on the reverse button R.

SEWING IN REVERSE

When you wish to sew backward to tie the threads at the beginning or end of a seam, press in the button R, Fig. 17, as far as it will go. The machine will sew backward as long as the button is held in.

ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS

Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down, as the tension is automatically released when it is rais ed. To increase the tension on the upper thread, turn dial

(Fig. 18) to the right, or clockwise. To decrease, turn to the

left. The higher the number on the dial, the tighter the ten

sion. Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the machine is threaded properly. When necessary to change the bobbin

tension, turn small screw (Fig. 19 ) on side of the bobbin Tvntlou fl case clockwise to tighten, coimterclockwise to loosen. • _ .

Fig. 19

When the upper and under tensions are pro perly balanced, a perfect stitch will be formed with both threads interlocking in fabric (Fig.

20).

When the upper tension is too tight, the lower thread is pulled up over the upper thread which is lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 21).

When the upper tension is too loose, the

upper thread forms loops over the lower thread lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 22).

ADJUSTING PRESSURE AND FEEDING

OF FABRIC

GENERAL SEWING. Usually for straight sewing and zigzag stitching, the pressure bar cap or darner re lease, Fig. 24 and 25, is at its lowest position and the drop feed button marked "Sew", Fig. 23, is pressed down and then released.
