Hold the end of upper thread loosely and turn hand wheel toward you until the needle goes
dll the way down and comes back up. A loop (Fig. 11) will be formed over the lower thread
which then can be pulled out straight. Place both thread ends under the slot of the presser foot
and draw toward the back of the machine, leaving both threads three or four inches long.
Page 12

STRAIGHT STITCHING
For straight stitching on fine fabric or very soft ma
terial, you may want to use the straight stitch presser
foot and the straight stitch needle plate which are includ
ed in your accessory box. Both have narrow needle slots.
Changing the Foot and Plate. To change presser
foot (13, Fig. 1) loosen thumb screw (15, Fig. 1 > and
remove zigzag foot. Replace with hinged narrow foot
and tighten screw securely.
To change needle plate (12, Fig. 1) remove it with
cover plate from machine. Turn assembly wrong sideup.
Hold needle plate in left hand and cover plate in right.
(Fig. 12-A)
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 into
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 stoppers
(3) to hold zigzag lever (2 ) in ( 0 ) position.

SEWING IN REVERSE
When you wish to sew in reverse to tie the thread at the beginning or the end of a seam,
press in the reverse button 8 Fig. 12-B as far as it will go. The machine will sew backward as
long as the button is held in. Only 4 or 5 stitches are needed to tie a seam securely.
ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS
Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot
down, as the tension is automatically released when it is raised.
To increase the tension on the upper thread, turn dial (Fig.
13) to the right, or clockwise. To decrease, turn to the left.
The higher the number on the dial the tighter the tension.
Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the machine is
threaded properly.
When it is necessary to change the bobbin tension, turn
small screw (Fig. 14) on side of the bobbin case clockwise
to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen.
Page 14
12
When the upper and under tentions are properly ba
lanced, a perfect stitch will be formed with both threads
interlocking in fabric. ¡Fig. 15
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. 16-
When the upper tension is too loose the upper thread
forms loops over the lower thread lying flat on the fabric.
Fig. 17
ADJUSTING PRESSURE
AND FEEDING OF FABRIC
GENERAL SEWING
Usually for straight sewing and zigzag stitching, the pressure bar cap or darner release
Fig. 18, is at its lowest position and the drop feed knob is turned high position. Fig. 19.

SEWING THIN OR LIGHT WEIGHT FABRIC
When lighter pressure is required to sew satisfactorily on thin
:ulk or filmy material, the pressure cap should be about half-way
down. Release all the way by pressing the snap lock, A. Fig. 20,

PREPARING TO SEW
Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding
by pulling the material as this may deflect the needle and cause it to break.
NEVER run machine without material under presser foot.
Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot. You
are now ready to begin sewing. By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary
to touch the hand wheel to start the machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the
machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control.
Page 16
14
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
most embroidery, is obtained by setting the stitch length as
near 0 as possible without stopping the feeeding action.
The width may be set anywhere from just past 0 to the
widest, 4.

MAKING BUTTONHOLES
Mark the beginning and end of the buttonhole on fabric with a
basting line or tailer's chalk. Make one on scrap fabric following
directions below) to be sure machine adjustments are correct.
1. Replace presser foot with buttonhole foot which provides maxi
mum visibility and allows closely spaced stitches to feed evenly.

SEWING ON BUTTONS
19
Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot.
See
30-A, A and C )
Turn drop feed knob to "DOWN"
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 and set left stop. Turn the balance wheel
slowly by hand to be sure the needle clears both holes of the
button. Correct width if necessary.
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.
Remove the toothpick and wind thread under
button, forming a shank. Fasten. Apply the above
method to sew on buttons with four holes, hooks
Fig. 30-C
and snaps, etc.
Fig. 30-A
Page 22
20
If a four hole button is to be sewn, follow the
same procedure above for the two hole button. Now
lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to permit
stitching the remaining two holes. Hooks, snaps, etc.,
are sewn to the fabric with the same procedure as
for sewing two hole buttons.
HOW TO USE ACCESSORIES
NARROW HEMMER With the needle at its
highest position, replace regular presser foot with
narrow hemmer Fig. 31 >. For a plain narrow hem,
make a 1 8 inch double fold for about two inches
along edge of fabric. Hold each end of the two
inches fold, slip underneath hemmer. Bring fold up
into the scroll of hemmer, draw forward to end and
fasten with point of needle. Lower presser bar lifter.
Gently pull ends of thread as you start stitching.
Guide material slightly to right, and it will automatic
ally take a double turn through scroll.
LACE TRIMMED HEM To sew a narrow hem
and attach lace in one stitching, insert lace in the
slot next to needle i Fig. 32 i. Sew hem as above,
guiding lace under needle and hem into scroll.
Fig. 31
Fig. 32
Page 23
Fig. 33
LACE EDGE WITH INVISIBLE STITCHING Hold lace 1/8 inch from raw edge on right side
jf fabric. Insert both in scroll as for plain narrow hem (Fig. 33). Let hem roll over and sew
in lace. Press lace out flat along edge with hem turned up. It is possible to have a little full-
iiess in lace by feeding it freely under scroll.
FRENCH SEAM With right side together, place top piece of material 1/8 inch inside egde
of lower piece. Insert in hemmer scroll, allowing hem to roll over and sew in top fabric, making
french seam.
FLAT FELLED SEAM Open out French seam and insert rolled edge in scroll of hemmer.
Edgestitch to lay seam flat.
HAND ROLLED EFFECT Use a narrow zigzag stitch, just wide enough to catch both edges
of the narrow, rolled hem.
QUILTING GUIDE This guide for making parallel rows of stitching is attached by placing
the pronged holder between the presser foot and the presser foot thumb screw (Fig. 34) Adjust
the curved bar to press lightly on the fabric. By letting the guide ride on the first stitching line,
I
successive rows will be an equal distance apart. When the bar is attached so that the curved part
IS to the right of the needle, it may also serve as a seam width guide.
Fig. 34
Page 24

SEAM GAUGE OR CLOTH GUIDE Use the
seam gauge as a guide for straight seams and even
rows of top stitching along edges of fabric. Fasten
gauge with accompanying screw in threaded hole in
bed of machine iFig. 351. Adjust to seam width
desired.
