and with the switch on "OFF", the light also turns off.

(V. PREPARING

r,-ACi-

WINDING THE BOBBIN

Disengage the hand wheel by holding it tightly with your left hand and turning the coupling wheel toward you with your right hand (Fig. 21). Place the spool on

spool pin (A) , leaving about one foot of thread free. Lead the thread around the guide (B) on the back of the machine and around the bobbin winder tension disc (C), then thread guide (D) as illustrated

(Fig. 22), and run the end of thread through a hole on the rim of bobbin. Place the bobbin on the spindle and push the bobbin winder to the right. Hold the thread end securely and run the machine slowly. Bobbin will stop turning when

filled. Cut thread and push bobbin winder to the left. Remove bobbin from

spindle. Tighten the coupling wheel by turning it away from you as you hold the hand wheel in place. The needle should now move when you turn the hand wheel.

Note: If the bobbin is winding unevenly,

adjust bobbin Winder threed guide up or down as needed.

LOWER THREADING

• Threading Bobbin Case Turn flap release knob back to release the front fiat sewing surface flap. (Fig. 23) Raise the front flap upward fully. Make sure that the take-up lever is in

its highest position. Remove the bobbin case, by opening the bobbin case latch and pulling the bobbin case out. (Fig. 24) Hold

the bobbin case between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, so that the slot in the edge of the bobbin case is on top. Take the bobbin between the

thumb and forefinger of the right

hand so that the thread on top leads from left to right. Insert

the bobbin into the bobbin case.

Draw the thread into the slot of

the bobbin case and then under the tension spring into the fork shaped opening of the spring.

(Fig. 25) Then lead the thread

through the spiral thread guide

on top of bobbin case.

• Placing Bobbin Case in

Shuttle

Hold the threaded bobbin case in your left hand. Raise the bobbin case latch with your finger and hold open. Insert and

center the bobbin case on the stud of the rotary hook. Be sure the square opening of the bobbin case is on top. Press the bobbin case into the rotary hook as far as possible until the latch catches on the center post of the rotary hook. Then release the bobbin

case latch. Press the bobbin case to be sure the bobbin case is locked securely in place. (Fig.

26)

UPPER THREADING

Turn the hand wheel toward you to raise the take-up lever up just above red mark. The presser foot should be in a raised posi tion. Lead the thread from the spool as illustrated. Draw the thread through the rear thread guide, then forward between the

tension discs, down and around the check spring, up and around the take-up lever, down through thread guide on needle clamp. Thread the needle from front to

back and leave the thread about three to four inches long. (Fig.

27) Hold end of upper thread to the left of needle plate and turn the hand wheel toward you

one complete revolution. Pull the loop which has been formed with lower thread through to the

upper surface. (Fig. 28) Place both thread ends under the presser foot and draw them to

the side leaving both threads

about four inches long. (Fig. 29)

\- CHOOSING THE RIGHT NEEDLE

TYPES OF NEEDLES The correct selection of needle to suit the thread and fabric being sewn gives the best stitching results. Fine fabrics should be sewn with fine needles, heavier fabrics with heavier needles. For best results, sewing machine needles should be replaced when they become even slightly

dull or bent or at the completion of every other garment.

- ■--- H r.:. r is suggested for use with woven fabrics. Needles, style 15 x 1, (European

equivalent System 705) are used on the majority of household sewing machines. They range

in sizes from 8 to 20 with the lower number indicating the finer needle. The most commonly

used sizes are 11 and 14.

- ■ ■ r ~~ - rrce is designed to handle knits as well as woven fabrics. It eliminates

skipped stitches and the slight ball will not damage delicate fabrics. This is the needle provided with your sewing machine and will be used for most of your sewing. A larger ball point may still be necessary for certain knits, such as bathing suit fabric or power net.

r.-:' - • " is recommended for use with tricots, jerseys, lingerie and power nets.

Unlike sharp, pointed needles, which pierce fibers of knit fabrics, destroying elasticity, the

ball point slips between fibers, preventing damage to fabric and skipped stitches. These are

available in fine, medium, and heavy ball points.

............. '-rc-r is recommended for use with leather and leather-look vinyls. A wedge

cutting point pierces leather more easily than ordinary sewing machine needles, resulting in more satisfactory stitching.

NEEDLE, THREAD, FABRIC & STITCHING GUIDE

The correct selection of needle and thread to suit the fabric will result in more satisfactory

stitching. Fine fabrics should be stitched with fine needles, fine thread and short stitches.

For best results on heavier fabrics, use coarser needles, heavier threads and longer stitches. Replace the machine needle when it becomes even slightly dull or bent.

CHANGING THE NEEDLE PLATE

To change the needle plate, release front flap sewing surface and turn flap up. Push the

button on the left side of the bobbin case

and the needle plate will automatically raise.

(Fig. 34) Lift the needle plate. Replace the needle plate by sliding the clip on the right of'-the needle plate under the opening and pressing the left side of the needle plate

down into place. (Fig. 35, 36) The needle plate is removed for cleaning the

lint which may-pile up between the needle

plate and the feed dogs. The straight stitch needle plate is used for sewing very fine or

soft materials. The zigzag needle plate can

be used for all of the normal sewing. Care should be taken to clean lint from the feed dogs to insure smooth operation of the feed mechanism.

ADJUSTING THE STITCH

• Stitch Length Dial This dial (Fig. 37) controls the forward

feeding of the fabric. At 0, the fabric does

not feed at all. As the numbers increase so does the length of the stitch. Turn the blue dial so that the desired number is below the blue indicator.

• Reverse Lever The "R" marked blue lever (Fig. 38) above

and to the right of the stitch length dial will

cause the machine to sew in reverse when

depressed. This lever may be used at the beginning and end of sewing to lock the

threads. To backstitch, simply push the lever down

and hold for the desired number of stitches. It is advisable to tie the thread ends instead

of backstitching on soft sheer fabrics to

avoid puckering.

needle right and left for various widths of

stitchss. A»t Q, tH6 nsscilc dess not. swing therefore, a straight line of sewing results no matter which stitch is selected.

At 1, the needle takes a narrow swing result

ing in a narrow column of stitching. At 5, '

the needle takes a large swing resulting in a wide column of stitches. (Fig. 40)

• Relating Stitch Length to Stitch Width When the width dial is engaged at one par

ticular width (such as 5), the stitch length dial will now control bow close those stitches come together. At length 0, the fabric does not move, resulting in a ball of stitches formed one on top of the other, as is used in button sewing. At about 1/4, the feed pulls the fabric through slowly, result ing in a dense column of stitches called a satin stitch. At length 5, a very long open

zigzag resu Its. (F ig. 41)

• Pattern Selector Dial This dial selects the stitch pattern to be made accord

ing to the pictures shown at the blue indicator. Turn

this dial in any direction and the picture of the stitch will be shown by the blue indicator. Pattern:
