*Pass the thread through the thread take-up (3) from right to left.
*Pass the thread through the eye of the needle (5) from front to back.
(See following page for instructions on operation of the Automatic Needle Threader.)

IMPORTANT: To verify that the machine is threaded properly in the tension

discs, do this simple check:
1.) With the presser foot raised and the needle threaded, pull the thread. You should detect only a slight

2.) Now lower the presser foot and again pull the thread towards the back of the machine. This time you
should
do not detect the resistance, this means you have not threaded the machine correctly and need to
rethread it.

PICKING UP BOBBIN THREAD
1. Raise the presser foot lifter.
2. Holding needle thread loosely with your 1
left hand, turn hand wheel toward you
(counter-clockwise) with your right hand,

until the needle comes to its highest

position.

NOTE: A quick way to pick up the 2

bobbin thread is, with straight stitch
selected, touch and release the
reverse switch.Your machine will
perform one down-up cycle and stop
with the needle up. Always stopping
with the needle “fully up” is one of
the features of your computer sewing
machine.

CHANGING THE NEEDLE

Always disconnect the Flat side

machine from power supply
by removing the plug from the
wall-outlet. Needle

1. Raise the needle bar to its highest

position by turning the hand wheel
toward you (counter-clockwise).
2. Loosen the needle clamp screw by
turning it toward you (counter-clockwise).
3. R e m o v e t h e n e e d l e b y p u l l i n g i t
downward. Stop pin
4. Insert the new needle into the needle

5. Push the needle up as far as it can go.

6. Tighten the needle clamp screw with the
screw driver.
NOTE: Tighten snugly, but do not
over tighten.

Helpful Hint: Placing a scrap of fabric

under the presser foot and lowering Flat side toward the back
the presser foot makes it easier to
change the needle and will preclude
dropping the needle into the needle
plate slot.

ADJUSTING TOP THREAD TENSION
Well balanced
Under side
90% of your sewing will be done with the
tension control dial (on top of the machine)
Top side
set at “ 5 ” .

Helpful Hint: A slight adjustment to a

higher number or a lower number may
improve sewing appearance.

Top stitch too tight Top stitch too loose

STRAIGHT STITCHING
The correct appearance of your stitching
is largely determined by the balanced
tension of both top and bobbin threads.
The tension is well balanced when these
two threads ‘lock’ in the middle of layers
of the fabric you are sewing. If, when you
start to sew, you find that the stitching is
irregular, you will need to adjust the tension
Decrease tension Increase tension
control. Make any adjustments with presser
foot ‘down’. A balanced tension (identical
stitches both top and bottom) is usually
only desirable for straight stitch sewing.

ZIG ZAG and DECORATIVE SEWING

For zigzag sewing and decorative stitch
functions, thread tension should be less
than for straight stitch sewing.
You will always obtain a nicer stitch and
less puckering when the upper thread
appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

15
ADJUSTING BOBBIN THREAD TENSION

BOBBIN THREAD TENSION REQUIRES

ADJUSTMENT LESS FREQUENTLY Fabric puckers
THAN THE TOP THREAD TENSION.
If the tension is well balanced, but the
fabric puckers badly, both top and bobbin Increase
thread tensions may be too tight and have
to be adjusted. To test if the bobbin thread
tension is correct, suspend the bobbin
case by the thread and jerk it once. Correct
bobbin tension will result in the thread
unwinding only one or two inches. If too Decrease
loose it will unwind continuously. If too tight
the thread will not unwind at all.
When adjusting the tension on the bobbin
case, make only slight adjustments with a
screwdriver.

CHANGING PRESSER FOOT Presser foot lifter

Be sure needle is in the up position.

4. Turn the hand wheel toward you (counter-
clockwise) until the needle enters the
fabric.
5. Start the machine. Guide the fabric gently
with your hands. When reaching the edge
of the material, stop the sewing machine.
NOTE: The Needle Plate has both
Metric and Inch Markings as an aid for 6
guiding your fabric when sewing a seam.
6. First turn the handwheel toward you
(counter-clockwise) until the needle is at
its highest position. Raise the presser
foot, draw materials to the rear and cut
off excess thread with the thread cutter
located on the bottom of face cover as
shown.
NOTE: To secure the stitching and
avoid raveling, press the reverse
stitch switch and sew a few stitches at
the start and end of the seam.

KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT

To keep the seam straight, use one of the
numbered guide lines on the needle plate.
The numbers indicate distance from the
needle at its center position.

ZIPPERS
To sew down the right side, attach left side
of zipper foot to presser foot holder so that
the needle passes through the opening on
the left side of the foot.
To sew down the left side, attach right side
of foot to foot holder.

PIPING
To pipe soft furnishings, cover cord with a
bias strip of fabric and pin or tack it to the
main piece of fabric.
Attach left side of zipper foot to foot holder
so that needle passes through the opening
on the left side of the foot.

Helpful Hint: Slight adjusting of the

This is a strong stitch because as its name
implies, it makes three short stitches
where the normal zig-zag makes only
one. For this reason it is recommended for
overcasting all types of fabrics. It is also
ideal for bartacks, mending tears, patching,

MACHINE STITCHING
SETTINGS : Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
: Thread tension control - 5 or -1

You should carry out a test sewing on an extra piece of the fabric being sewn to check the
decorative pattern to be used. Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread
wound onto the bobbin to ensure that the thread will not run out during sewing. For
best results, stabilize fabric with a tear-away or wash-away stabilizer underneath when
stitching.

Helpful Hint: Bobbin thread should not appear on the top side of the fabric, so
it may be necessary to slightly lower the tension setting.

 BUTTONHOLE MAKING
1. Replace the presser foot with the buttonhole Tab A
foot. (Refer to “Changing presser foot” on
Tab B
page 16.)

2. Insert the button into the buttonhole foot.

3. Lower the buttonhole lever (C) so that it drops

down vertically between the stoppers (A) and
(B).

4. Place the fabric under the foot. Pull out the

bobbin thread underneath the fabric to a
length of about 4" (10 cm) to the rear.

5. Align the buttonhole mark on the fabric with

the mark on the buttonhole foot, and then
lower the buttonhole foot.

6. While holding the top thread, star t the

machine.
