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 bobbin 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 8, Fig. 1) 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 finger, (E), is opposite the shuttle race notch, (A). Press the bobbin case (B) into the shuttle as far as possible until latch catches on the center post of the shuttle.
THEN release the bobbin case latch, (D). Press
bobbin case again after latch has been released to
make sure the bobbin case is hooked 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 included in your accessory box. Both have narrow needle slots.
Changing the Presser Foot and Needle Plate :
(1) Presser Foot
(A) Loosen thumb screw (10, Fig. 1) and remove zigzag
presser foot.
(B) Replace with straight stitch presser foot (Fig. 12A).
(2) Needle Plate
(A) Open cover plate. (B) Remove screws holding needle plate
(7, Fig. 1), to bed plate. (C) Remove zigzag needle plate (D) Replace with straight switch needle
plate 12B.
Be sure to set stitch width lever 22 at 0,
or the needle will break in striking the foot or plate.
Set selector lever 19 and buttonhole lever 24 at "M" position, and needle position lever 20
at "L". (Fig. 12C)

SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH

The length of the stitch is regulated by the dial, 3, shown in Fig. 1. Near 0 is shortest stitch and 4 is longest, but the dial may be set any spot between marking for a variety of lengths. Turn the dial to the left to lengthen and to the right to shorten the stitch. The number of the stitch length you choose shoule appear under the dot of the control plate.

SEWING IN REVERSE

When you wish to sew backward to tie the threads at the beginning or the end of a seam,
press the R button (4 Fig. 1) in as far as it will go. The machine will sew backward as long
as the button is held down.

ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS

Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down, as the tension is released when it is raised. To increase tension on the upper thread, turn dial (Fig. 13) to the right, or clock wise. 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 necessary to change the bobbin tension, turn small
screw (Fig. 14) on side of the bobbin case clockwise to tighten.
12
When the upper and under tensions are properly
balanced, 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 fiat 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 (17, Fig. 18), is at its lowest position and the "UP" button is pushed in, Fig. 19.
