PRESSER FOOT LIFTER

There are three positions for your presser foot.

1. Lower the presser foot to sew.

2. Raise the lifter to the middle position to insert or remove

fabric, and to change presser foot.

3. Lift it to its highest position to accommodate thicker fabrics.

7
FEED DOG CONTROL (optional)
* Only for machine with this function
The feed dogs control the movement of the fabric that is being sewn.
They should be raised for all general sewing purposes and lowered for darning,
freehand embroidery and monogramming so that you, not the feed dogs,
are guiding the fabric.

How to raise the Feed Dogs:

1. Make sure that your presser foot is in the raised (up) position,
and that the needle is in the highest position.

2. With the back of the machine facing you, push the feed dog lever down and
towards the right (symbol that shows the feed dogs above the line).

3. Turn the machine so that it now faces you, turn the handwheel counterclockwise
(towards you) until you hear or see the feed dogs click back into place.

DARNING PLATE
* Only for machine without feed dog control function
Use the darning plate when you need to control fabric feeding for button sewing,
free motion work and free motion darning.
Raise needle and presser foot, and position darning plate onto the needle plate
with the two pins on the back inserted to the holes of needle plate.
CONVERTING TO FREE-ARM SEWING
Your machine can be used either as a or as a free-
arm model.
With the extension table in position, it provides a large working
surface.
To remove the extension table, hold it with both hands
and pull it off to the left as shown. To replace, slide the
extension table back into place until it clicks.
With the extension table removed the machine converts into
a free-arm model for sewing children’s clothes, cuffs, trouser
legs, and other hard-to-reach places.

LARGE EXTENSION TABLE

To place onto the machine, lift the supporting leg of the
extension table, and slide the table into place while the Extension table
guide pins A, B, C and D into machine as illustrated.

WINDING THE BOBBIN
Be sure to use only Class 15J bobbins.

1. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin, and secure it with

the spool pin cap. Pull the thread out from the spool and
place it through thread guides as shown in illustration.
Be sure to pull thread securely into the bobbin winding
tension disk.

2. Put end of thread through the hole in bobbin as shown. 2

Push bobbin winder shaft to far left position, if it is not
already there.

3. Place bobbin onto shaft with end of thread coming from 3

top of bobbin. Push bobbin winder shaft to the right until it
clicks. Hold the end of thread.

4. Start machine and the bobbin starts to wind. Stop to trim

the thread tail, then step on the foot control to resume
4
winding. Bobbin will automatically stop turning when
completely filled. Push shaft to the left to remove bobbin
and cut thread.

10
THREADING THE BOBBIN THREAD

1. Raise the needle to its highest position by rotating the hand 1

wheel toward you (counter-clockwise).

2. Remove the bobbin cover plate by pushing the release

button to the right. Bobbin cover will pop up sufficiently to
2
allow you to remove the cover.

3. Insert the bobbin making sure the bobbin rotates counter-

clockwise when you pull the thread. 3
NOTE: This is a very important step as the bobbin
can become unthreaded and cause sewing problems
if it rotates clockwise.

4. Pull thread through the slot (A) and then to the left. 4

5. With a finger held gently on top of the bobbin, pull the

thread until it stops in slot (B). Then pull about 6" (15 cm) 5
of thread and lead it towards back of the machine under
the presser foot.

NOTE: This is also a very important step to assure

the bobbin thread does not slip out of position. B

6. Replace the bobbin cover plate onto the needle plate. 6

11
THREADING THE TOP THREAD
A. Raise the presser foot lifter. Always be sure to raise the
presser foot lifter before threading the top thread.

If the presser foot lifter is not raised, correct thread

tension cannot be obtained.

B. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is in its
highest position.

C. Thread the machine with your left hand

while firmly gripping the thread with
your right hand in the following order as
illustrated.
* Guide the thread through thread
guide (1), and then pull it into the pre-
tension guide (2).
* Guide the thread into the thread
guide (3).
* Pass the thread through the eye of
the needle (4) 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 3
simple check:
4
1.) W i t h t h e p r e s s e r f o o t r a i s e d a n d t h e n e e d l e
unthreaded, pull the thread. You should detect only
a slight resistance and little or no deflection of the
needle.

2.) Now lower the presser foot and again pull the thread
towards the the back of the machine. This time you
should detect a considerable amount of resistance
and much more deflection of the needle. If you do
not detect the resistance you have mis-threaded the
machine and need to re-thread it.

12
USING AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER
Raise the needle to its highest position by rotating the hand
wheel toward you (counter-clockwise).

1. Hook thread into thread guide as illustrated.

2. Pull down lever while holding the end of thread.

3. Rotate the lever to the rear of the machine.

4. Guide thread into hooked end and pull the thread upward.

5. Return the lever and needle will be threaded automatically.

6. Release the lever and pull thread away from you.

NOTE: For smooth threading it is recommended you

set the machine for straight stitch when using the
needle threader.

PICKING UP BOBBIN THREAD

1. Raise the presser foot lifter.

2. Holding needle thread loosely with your left hand, turn

hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise) with your right
hand, first lowering the needle and continuing until the
needle comes to its highest position.

NOTE: A quick way to pick up the 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
electronic sewing machine.

3. Lightly pull up the top thread, and pick up bobbin thread,

which will appear through the needle plate slot.

4. Pull both top and bobbin threads together toward the back
of the machine under the presser foot, leaving about 6”
(15 cm) clear.

 NEEDLE, THREAD AND FABRIC CHART
Use the standard needles. The size of your
Thread Size Needle Size Fabric
needle should match the size of the thread
and both should match the fabric. Cotton 60 - 100 Stretch stitch All stretch fabrics.
For normal sewing, the same size and type Synthetic needle
Machine embroidery
of thread should be used in the bobbin as
Cotton 70 Sheer cottons, silk
on the upper part of the machine. Synthetic
Never use a bent or dull needle. Silk A or batiste, dimity.
Machine embroidery 80
For successful sewing of stretch fabrics use
stretch stitch needles. Cotton 60 - 80 Medium weight cottons,
Mercerized 50 - 60 80 medium weight synthetics,
Synthetic or poplin, seersucker,

Always disconnect the machine from power

supply by removing the plug from the wall-outlet.

Changing the needle

1. Raise the needle bar to its highest position by turning the
hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise). Flat side
2. Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it toward you
(counter-clockwise). Needle

3. Remove the needle by pulling it downward.

4. Insert the new needle into the needle clamp with the
side toward the back.
Stop pin
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 the presser foot makes Flat side toward
it easier to change the needle and will preclude the back
dropping the needle into the needle plate slot.

1
ADJUSTING TOP THREAD TENSION
Most of your sewing will be done with the tension control dial Under side
(on top of the machine) set at “AUTO” .
Helpful Hint: A slight adjustment to a higher number or a Well balanced
lower number may improve sewing appearance. Correct

STRAIGHT STITCHING Top side

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 that the stitching is irregular,
you will need to adjust the tension control.

Make any adjustments with the presser foot ‘down’.

A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom) is Top stitch too tight Top stitch too loose
usually only desirable for straight stitch sewing.

ZIG ZAG and DECORATIVE SEWING

For zigzag sewing and decorative stitch functions, thread ten-
sion 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.

BOBBIN TENSION Decrease tension Increase tension

The bobbin tension has been correctly set at the factory,
so you do not need to adjust it.

CHANGING PRESSER FOOT

Be sure needle is in the up position. Raise presser foot lifter.
Presser foot lifter
1. Push presser foot release lever to remove the foot.

2. Place the desired foot on the needle plate aligning the 3

presser foot pin with the foot holder.

3. Lower the presser foot lifter so that the foot holder snaps 11
on the foot.

NOTE: The Needle Plate has both Metric and Inch
Markings as an aid for guiding your fabric when
sewing a seam.

6. First turn the handwheel counter clockwise until the needle

is at its highest position, then raise the presser foot, draw 6
the fabric to the rear and cut off excess threads with the
thread cutter located on the top of face cover as shown.
NOTE: To secure the stitching and avoid raveling,
press the reverse stitch button 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.
The guide line on the bobbin cover plate is 1/4" (6mm) seam
guide line which is used for piecing quilt blocks and also for 3/4" (19mm)
narrow seams, such as those in doll clothes or baby garments.

Foot (A) so that the needle just pierces the fabric fold and
the guide just rests against the fold.

NOTE: In addition to the adjustment on the foot,

the stitch width control can be used. The stitch
width control changes the swing of the needle for a
narrower or wider stitch.

Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of

the guide.

MULTI-STITCH ZIGZAG
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO

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, and

NOTE: Mending a tear or overedging as shown in

illustration requires manual adjustment of the length
control.

SHELL STITCH
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right
side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the
folded edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim
away excess fabric from the backside, close to the stitching
line.

Helpful Hint: For a pleasing appearance experiment

with different width, length and tension settings.
SEWING ON A BUTTON
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Place Darning plate
:Down Feed dog control

Position your fabric and button under the presser foot. Lower
presser foot. Turn the hand wheel to make sure needle clears
both left and right openings of button. Adjust width if required.
Sew 10 stitches.
If a button shank is required, place a pin on top of the button
and sew over top of it as illustrated.

Helpful Hint: To secure thread, pull both threads to

the backside of the fabric and tie together.

DECORATIVE AND STRETCH STITCHES
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot or Satin Stitch Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable
fabrics, but can also be used on woven materials.

STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH

Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight
stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and
forwards.
It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of
sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved
seams which take a lot of strain.
Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give
a professional fi nish to your garments.

HONEYCOMB STITCH
The Honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and useful for
overcasting and attaching elastic and stretch lace.

1. For smocking, first make several rows of gathers across

the fabric that you wish to smock.
2. Cut an underlay fabric (such as organdy) and place it under
the shirring.
3. Sew the honeycomb stitch over the gathered rows,
securing them in place.

OVEREDGE STITCH
This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in
making sportswear - it forms and fi nishes the seam in one
operation.
It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or worn seams of
garments.

FEATHER STITCH
The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used
for decorative topstitching or for attaching laces and trims.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and edge-joining.
RIC-RAC STITCH
Ric-rac is primarily used for a decorative top-stitch. It is ideal
for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems. When
manually adjusted to a very narrow width, it also can be used
for sewing high stress seams.

DOUBLE OVERLOCK STITCH

The Double overlock stitch has three main uses. It is perfect

overcasting in one operation. It is primarily used on slightly

stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed,
and medium to heavy-weight cotton.

CRISS-CROSS STITCH
Used primarily for decorative machine stitching.

ENTREDEUX STITCH
Useful for decorative stitching on borders and for use in
heirloom sewing. The Entredeux stitch is most often sewn with
a Wing Needle to create holes in the stitch pattern.

Helpful Hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension will

increase the size of the hole when using a Wing Needle.
LADDER STITCH
The Ladder stitch is primarily used for drawn thread work
and hemstitching. For drawn thread work, choose a firm,
linen-type fabric and sew the stitch, making sure you follow
the grain line of the fabric. When fi nished sewing, draw the
threads out within the ladder for an open, airy appearance.

The Ladder stitch can also be used for stitching over ribbon or
trim.

SLANT OVEREDGE STITCH

Seams and overcasts in one operation to produce a narrow,
supple seam, particularly suited to swimwear, sportswear,
T-shirts, babywear in stretch nylon, jersey and cotton jersey.

CROSSED STITCH
Use to sew and fi nish elastic fabrics or for decorative work.

CHEVRON STITCH
Use to create decorative borders.

GREEK KEY STITCH

A traditional pattern suited for decorative borders and edge
fi nishings.
EDGE-JOINING STITCH
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
This is a popular decorative stitch. It can also be used for
joining two separate pieces of fabric, leaving a little space in
between. To attach two separate pieces of fabric together,
leave a little space in between. To prepare the fabric:
Fold under the seam allowances on the cut edges, and press.
Baste folded edges to tissue paper with about 1/8" (0.3 cm)
space between. Stitch over the 1/8" (0.3 cm) allowance, just
catching the fabric fold on both sides with needle. Remove
bastings and paper; press.

FISHBONE STITCH
Used mainly for decorative machine stitching.

THORN STITCH
It is a versatile stitch used for joining fabric pieces as well as
for decorative machine stitching.

WIZARD STITCH
Used mainly for decorative machine stitching.

IDEAS FOR DECORATIVE MACHINE
STITCHING
SETTINGS :Presser foot - Satin Stitch Foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO 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

AUTOMATIC BUTTONHOLE Tab B

Tab A

USING BUTTONHOLE FOOT

Your machine offers you two different widths of bartack,
keyhole and round end buttonholes sewn by a system that
measures the size of the button and calculates the size of
buttonhole required. All of this is done in one easy step.

PROCEDURE
* Use an interfacing in the area of the garment where
buttonholes are placed. Stabilizer or regular interfacing can
be used.
* Make a practice buttonhole on a scrap of the actual fabric
from your project. Then try the buttonhole with your button.

1. Select one of buttonhole patterns.

2. Replace the presser foot with the buttonhole foot. (Refer to

“Changing presser foot” on page 16.)

3. Insert the button into the buttonhole foot. (Refer to “Using

buttonhole foot” above.)

ripper to open up the fabric in the center of the buttonhole.
Be careful not to cut any of the stitching.

Note: It may be helpful to place a pin in front of the

bartack as you cut the buttonhole open, to prevent
cutting the stitches.
CORDED
BUTTONHOLES
Hook filler cord (such as crochet
thread or buttonhole twist) over the
spur and pull both ends of the cord Spur
forward under the foot and tie off the
cord as shown in the illustration.
Sew buttonhole so that zigzag stitches
cover the cord.
When completed, release the cord
from foot and snip off extra length.

MANUAL BUTTONHOLE
* Use the automatic buttonhole foot up to 1 3/4 “(45 mm) in
length, but don’t lower the buttonhole lever or a beep will
sound.

* Use the satin stitch foot to create larger buttonholes.

* Carefully mark the buttonhole length on your garment. Place

the fabric with the buttonhole marked under the buttonhole
foot. Slide the foot forward so that the needle pierces the
fabric at the beginning of the buttonhole.

PROCEDURE
1. Start the machine to form first bartack and left side of
buttonhole.

SATIN STITCH FOOT
The Satin Stitch Foot is grooved to permit dense stitching to
pass under it easily. It is most useful for sewing satin stitches
and as an alternative to the General Purpose Foot when
sewing Stretch Stitches.

Closely spaced zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches. This

is an attractive stitch used primarily for appliqueing and bar
tacking. Slightly loosen top thread tension for satin stitching.
Use a backing of tissue paper or interfacing for to avoid
puckering.

TWIN NEEDLE (Optional)

IMPORTANT:
When using a twin-needles, set stitch width at 3.5 or
less, or otherwise needle may be broken.

A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin

tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.

THREADING THE TWIN NEEDLE

1. Insert the second spool pin. Place a spool on each spool
pin. Thread the two threads as one. Draw one thread
through each needle from front to back.
2. Pick up bobbin thread as for single needle sewing. Pull the
three threads together under the presser foot to the back of
the machine, leaving about 6” (15 cm) of thread.

NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the

twin needle.
