THREADING THE
BOBBIN CASE
Step 1 (illustrated in Fig. 6).
Hold bobbin case between thumb
and forefinger of left hand, so that
the slot in the edge of the bobbin
case is on top. Take the bobbin
between thumb and forefinger of
right hand so that the thread on
top leads from left to right. Step
2. Insert bobbin into bobbin case,
pull the thread into the slot of the
bobbbin case as shown in Fig.7, and
draw it under the tension spring
and into the fork-shaped opening
of the spring as shown in Fig. 8.

(See 11, Fig. li Hold the bobbin case latch, (D;,
Fig. 9, between the thumb and forefinger of the left
hand, with at least three inches of thread running
from the top of the bobbin case to the right. Insert
and center the bobbin case on the stud of the shuttle
body, (C). Be sure
' the bobbin case

Press the bobbin
case iB' into the
shuttle as far as
possible until latch
catches on the
center post of the

THEN release the bobbin case latch, (D:.
Press bobbin case again after latch has been re
leased to make sure the bobbin case is locked
securely in place. Close the cover plate.

STRAIGHT STITCHING
For straight sewing on fine fabric or very soft
material, you may want to use the straight stitch presser
foot and the straight stitch needle plate which are in
cluded in your accessory box. Both have narrow needle
slots.
Changing the Foot and Plate. To change presser
foot ( 18 Fig. 1; loosen thumb screw ( 20 Fig. 1) and
remove zigzag foot. Replace with hinged narrow foot
and tighten screw securely.
To change needle plate 16 Fig. 1) remove it with
jover plate from machine. Turn assembly wrong side
up. Hold needle plate in left hand and cover plate in
right (Fig, 12-Ai
Slip upper pin on cover plate out of groove on
needle plate, and pull upper portion of cover plate
away. Then lower pin can be separated from groove
as the tongue on cover plate slips out of the spring
latch on needle plate.
To attach cover plate to straight stitch plate, again
hold assembly- wrong side up. Holding cover plate in
right hand at a slight upward angle, slide lower pin in
to groove, then lift cover plate to insert tongue into
opening of spring latch. Upper pin will then slide
easily into groove.
Put plates on machine and fasten securely with
needle plate screws.
Be sure to set the stitch width at 0 or the needle
will break in striking the foot or plate. Adjust stops 3
to hold zigzag lever 2 in 0 position.

When the upper and under tensions are properly

When the upper tension is too tight, the lovver
thread is pulled up over the upper thread which is
lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 16

REMOVING THE WORK
Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-up
lever and needle bar are located at the highest position.
Now' raise the presser foot and draw the fabric back and
to the left, Fig. 21-A and B, and pass the threads over the
thread cutter.
Pull down slightly, holding thread in both hands, so as
not to bend the needle.
Leave the ends of thread under the presser foot.
CREATIVE EMBROIDERY
Be sure zigzag presser foot and zigzag needle plate are
in place. .
, The satin stitch, Fig. 22,
which is really just a very short
zigzag stitch, and the basis for 22
most embroidery, is obtained by setting the stitch length as
near 0 as possible without stopping the feeding action.
The width may be set anywhere from just past 0 to the

AUTOMATIC EMBROIDERY
Your machine will produce embroidery patterns automatically by inserting any one
its cams (Fig. 24) in the chamber on top of the machine. ^
1. Be sure the zigzag needle plate and zigzag presser foot are on the machine
and the zigzag stitch width stops (Fig. 25) are in the off position. *
2. To insert or remove the cam, move lever to the left-this will allow the cam
cover door to spring open.

EMBROIDERING WITH A HOOP
It is easy to follov/ a stamped design or to work
free hand when embroidering or monogramming.
(See Fig. 27). Release the pressure from the foot
by pressing down the snap look on the automatic
darner. Turn drop feed knob to DOWN position
(see Fig. 19).
Stretch the fabric in an embroidery hoop, and
place under the needle after removing the presser
foot. Set the stitch width at the size you prefer and
lower the presser bar lifter. Then operate the machine at a rather high speed
the hoop slowly with both hands. Work carefully and be sure to keep fing
of the needle.

If you plan, to make buttonholes on sheer or soft material place
tarlatan or paper, which can be torn away after stitching, under the
iabric. And it is always wise to make several buttonholes on scraps
of fabric before working on the garment.
For narrower buttonholes, set the stitch width at 1'and
stitch, width lever to 3 for bar tack. ‘
SEWING ON BUTTONS
1.
Hemove hinged presser foot and attach button sewincx foot
Fig. 30-A, B and Ci.
2.
Turn drop feed knob to "DOWN"
3.
Move zigzag width lever to "0" position or to the extreme left
Place the button so that its left hole comes directly under the
needle, then gently lower the presser foot. Move the zigzag
width lever to the right until the needle comes exactly over the
right hole of the button. Turn the balance wheel slowly by hand
to be sure the needle clears both holes of the button. Correct
width if necessary.
4.
When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine
at medium speed, making five or six stitches, stopping with
the needle in the left hole.
To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent ravelling,
set the stitch width at 0, and take a few stitches
in the same hole. If you wish you may place
a rounded toothpick over the button, between
the two holes, and sew button to fabric in
regular way.

CLEANING AND OILING THE SHUTTLE
(See Figs. 39 and 40) ■
The stitch forming mechanism occasionally becomes clogged with loose threads and lint.
This will interfere with the efficient operation of the machine. Cleaning and removal of
the lint will safeguard the performance. To remove the shuttle assembly, proceed as follows.
1. Turn the balance wheel until the needle reaches its highest position. Tilt head back
on its hinges.
2. Remove bobbin case (A), Fig. 40.
3. Turn the two shuttle race cover clamps 'B' outward and remove the shuttle race cover
