Be sure to turn power switch OFF before replacing sewing machine needle, or lubricating machine.

When not in use, be sure to turn power switch OFF and unplug machine.

Do not use thinner or other similar solvents to clean machine.

Do not expose machine to direct sunlight or humid atmos phere.

This sewing machine uses a micro computer and precision electronic circuits consisting of semiconductor components, so please observe the following precautions:

• Keep room temperature at 40°F to 100°F. If temperature of room where machine is used is too low, machine may present problems such as failure to reach its normal sewing speed.

• Motor used in this sewing machine is electronically controlled. When the machine is operated for an extended period of time at low speed, safety device will automatically turn machine OFF preventing motor from overheating. If motor should stop while sewing, turn power switch OFF, and wait about 20 minutes. This will reset safety device.

Use thread cutting groove located at back of presser foot for cutting thick threads or special types of thread.

^ Cut threads, using thread cutting

I groove.

Hold upper and bobbin threads together, pull them out about 4" and cut them with thread cutting groove located at rear of presser foot.

^ Knot two threads on wrong side of O fabric.

Pull upper thread to wrong side of fabric, and knot upper and bobbin threads. Cut threads as close to knot as possible. This technique is useful for securing pattern stitches.

Automatic Computer Controlled Thread Metering (tension) System

Insteadof a mechanical tension system, which controls thread by squeezing it between 2 discs, the XL-100 controls thread by computer. An automatic computer controlled thread metering system delivers the precise amount of thread for each needle penetration to create the optimal appearance of each stitch. This makes possible, perfectly balanced straight stitch, plus no pucker blind hemming, two color patterns without changing thread, multicolored embroidery without changing bobbin thread, and decorative top-stitching and cross stitching that simulate hand sewn. An override control allows individual modification for specialized effects.

Examples of Automatic Thread Metering:

Upper thread

Bobbin thread Fabric

Straight stitch: Upper and bobbin thread join in middle.

Embroidery and decorative topstitch patterns: Upper and bobbin thread join on wrong side of fabric to optimize top side appearance.

How to modify top thread supply.

Use thread meter override buttons to modify top thread supply (tension).

Make folds on material for pin tuck using an iron so

that they are neatly finished.

A type of fabric decoration. Commonly used in French sewing.

Traditionally, pin tucks are formed by stitching very near a folded edge, as shown in steps 1 through 5.

You can also sew pin tucks with a twin needle. Twin needle tucks are

always even as they are formed by two parallel needles. Decreasing top thread supply (increasing tension) will result

in a more pronounced pin tuck.

After finishing sewing, tilt pin tuck to one side and press.

Sew folds taking care not to stretch them. A blindstitch presser foot guide will help finish the folds more beautifully.
