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.
Page 13
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,

SEWING THIN OR LIGHT WEIGHT FABRICS.
When lighter pressure is required to sew satisfactorily on thin
silk or filmy material, the pressure cap should be about halfway
down. Release all the way by pressing the snap lock, Ä, (Fig. 20),
and then press cap B down again to halfway spot. Lower the feed
slightly by pushing the "Down" button halfway down.
DARNING AND MONOGRAMMING. In order to move the
fabric freely in any direction for darning, mending and certain
kinds of free-hand embroidery, release the pressure cap B comp
letely by pressing down on the snap lock, A, (Fig. 20). Push the
"Down" button completely down, which drops the feed well below
the needle plate. To return feed to normal, push the "UP" button
in.
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.
Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is at its highest point. 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

REMOVING THE WORK
Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-up
lever and needle bar are at their highest position.
Now raise the presser foot and draw the fabric back
and to the left, (Fig. 21-A and B), and pass the thread 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.

ADJUSTING THE STITCH WIDTH
To stitch continuously at one width of zigzag stitching set pattern selector lever (19, Fig.
1), and buttonhole lever (24, Fig. 1) at "M" and zigzag stitch width lever (22, Fig. 1) at the
chosen stitch width number and lock in position with zigzag stitch width locks (21, Fig. 1).
Should you wish to move freely between any two widths, such as in doing free-hand
embroidery, set left hand zigzag width lock at selected number and right hand lock at
number 5 or lower.
The 2 widths will be produced until the zigzag lever is moved.
CREATIVE EMBROIDERY
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
obfained 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 5.

With the machine set for a short stitch length, different designs can be made by swinging
the zigzag stitch width lever back and forth between 0 and 5 or any other combination of
widths and also using the various settings of the needle positioning lever. Set a rhythm for
yourself and then proceed. After a while you will become quite skillful, varying your designs
by the speed of the machine, stitch length, width and manipulation of the zigzag stitch width
and needle positioning levers.
SAMPLES OF CREATIVE EMBROIDERY
A. With needle position lever extreme left sew a few
stitches at 5 width, then quickly move lever back
to 0 for a short period. Count, if necessary, to es
tablish a rhythm.
B. With needle position lever extreme right gradually
move zigzag stitch width lever to 5 then snap it
back quickly to 0.
C. With needle position lever center gradually move
zigzag stitch width lever to 5 then snap it back
quickly to 0.
D. With needle position lever extreme left gradually
move zigzag stitch width lever to 5 then [snap it

SEWING ON BUTTONS
1. Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot.
(See Figs. 26, 27)
2. Push "DOWN" button in.
3. Move zigzag width lever, to 'O', 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 and lock with stops.
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.
5. To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent raveling,
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 the button, forming
a shank. Fasten.
Apply the above method to sew on buttons with four holes,
hooks and snaps, etc. If 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.

MAKING BUTTONHOLES
First, mark the beginning and end of the buttonhole on fabric with a
basting line or tailor'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 is grooved deep
ly underneath to prevent piling up of threads (See Fig. -
2 Set the stitch width at appreximately number 2 by locking the iett
■ stop adjustment screw (21, Fig. 1). and lock the right stop ^]ustment screw at extremely right position. Set the stitch length at
STproximately number 0.5. Set pattern selector lever at M .
3. Set buttonhole lever (24, Fig. 29) at 1, lower needle careMly
into mark on fabric indicating the beginning to the buttonhole.
Lower presser foot and sew the left side of buttonhole. (Step ).
4. Stop machine and raise needle to the highest position, se
buttonhole lever at 2 and sew the bar tack (Step 2)-
5 With needle at highest position set buttorihole lever at 3 and
sew the right side of buttonhole. (Stop 3).
6. Stitch to the starting point of the buttonhole. Stop machine
and raise needle to the highest position, set buttonhole lever
at 4 and sew the bar tack. (Step 4). , , ,. i i
7. Should you prefer to sew the right side of buttonhole
(revers stitching) first-start with Step 3 and follow with
'5
steps 4, 1 and 2. x. j. ■ i
If you plan to make buttonholes on sheer or soft material,
place tarlatan or paper under fabric which can be torn away
after stitching. And it is alway wise to make several button
holes on scraps of fabric before working on the garment.
For buttonhole with more cutting space, set stitch width

HOW TO USE ACCESSORIES
NARROW HEMMER. With the needle at its
highest position, replace regular presser foot with
narrow hemmer (Fig. 30). 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 inch
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 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 (Fig. 31). Sew hem as above, guiding lace
under needle and hem into scroll.
LACE EDGE WITH INVISIBLE STITCHING. Hold
lace 1/8 inch from raw edge on right side of fabric.
Insert both in scroll as for plain narrow hem (Fig.
32). Let hem roll over a little fullness in lace by
feeding it freely under scroll.
FRENCH SEAM. With right sides together, place top
piece of material 1/8 inch inside edge of lower piece. Fig. 32
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.
Page 24
23
:
QUILTING GUIDE. This guide for making pa
rallel rows of stitching is attached by placing the
pronged holder between the presser foot and the
presser foot clamp screw (Fig. 33).
Adjust the curved bar to press lightly on the
fabric.
By letting the guide radio on the first stitching
line, 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.
SEAM GAUGE OR CLOTH GUIDE. Use the
seam gauge as a guide for straight seams and even
‘3
’
rows of top stitching along edges of fabric. Fasten
gauge with accompanying screw in threaded hole in
needle plate or in bed of machine (Fig. 34). Adjust
to seam width desired.

THE ADJUSTABLE CORDING
AND ZIPPER FOOT
This attachment is used to make and
insert covered cording, and to sew in
zippers. Loosen thumb screw to slide
foot to either right or left of needle.
CORDING. Fold bias strip of fabric
over cord. Loosen thumb screw and
set foot so needle is centered in needle
hole. Machine bastes cord in place
(Figs. 35~37).

at points indicated by arrows in Fig. 41 turn hand
wheel toward you until the take-up lever is at its
lowest point.
Avoid over-oiling, only a drop is needed at
each point.
To oil parts under the bed of the machine, tip the umt back
on its hinges and apply a drop of oil at each point indicated in
Fig. 42.
The face plate opens
sideways on hinges mak
ing oiling and cleaning
easy. Oil at sports indi
cated in Fig. 43.

EDGESTITCHER
The edgestitcher is used in making
dainty lace insertions, edgings and
pipings.
The slots in the edgesticher serve
as guides in sewing together various
pieces of material. If you want to
sew lace, lace and embroidery, or
lace and tucked strips together,
place the piece of material that will
be on top in slot 1 (Fig. 53) and
the lower fabric in slot 4. For
instance, if you are sewing lace

Be sure to draw the lace and material under the needle and back of the edgestitcher so that
the feed will carry it backward as you stitch. Holdthe fabric in the left hand and the lace
in the right, being sure the fabric overlaps the lace slightly.
Rick Rack can be sewn to the edge of the material in the same manner.
To trim with wide piping, place the fabric in slot 4, and the fold of the piping to the left
in slot 3, for a narrow piping place fabric in slot 2 and the folded edge of the piping to the
right in slot 3.
Slot 5 may be used as a guide in stitching a French seam.
See Figs. 54~57 for suggestions on how to use the edgestitcher. There are hundreds of
other uses.
