Place a spool of thread on one of the spool pins and lead thread through the arm thread guide (3, Fig. 3). Run end of thread through a hole in the bobbin edge and place bobbin on spindle of bobbin winder (4, Fig. 3) fitting the notch on bobbin over small pin on spindle. Push bobbin winder
(5, Fig. 3) to the right, and hold thread end loosely then start machine slowly.
Bobbin will stop winding when it is filled. Turn clutch away frcMTi you until sewing
mechanism is again engaged so that needle moves when you turn the hand wheel. Break off loose thread end used to start the winding.

yppER THREADING
1. Turn the hand wheel toward you to raise the
take-up lever to its highest position.
2. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin.
3. Lead the thread through the upper arm thread
guides.
4. Down and between tension discs from right to
Left.
5. Draw the thread up through the check spring
and with a slight tug into the hook, See insert, Fig. 6 )

and face plate guides then through the needle bar guide.
8 Thread needle FROM front to back, drawing it
through about 3 or 4 inches. Hold the end of the upper thread loosely and turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle goes all the way down and comes back up. A loop <Fig. 7 ) will be formed over the upper thread which then
can be pulled out straight. Place both thread ends under the presser foot and draw toward
the back of the machine, leaving both threads three or four inches long.

ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS
Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down, as the tension is released when it is raised. To increase the tension on the upper thread, turn dial ( Fig. 13 ) to the right. To decrease, turn to the left.
Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the ma
chine is threaded properly. When necessary to change the bobbin tension, turn small screw (Fig. 14) on side
of the bobbin case clockwise to tighten, counter
clockwise to loosen. When the upper tensions are properly balanced, a p>arfaot stitch will be formed with both threads inter­iocking 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).
