The balanced thread tension is set automatically. 2 1 Set “AUTO” mark of thread tension dial with the 3 indication line. 2 Green light on or off. 3 Display screen shows “AUTO”. 5 For straight stitch sewing, both needle and bobbin threads will join at the middle of the fabric.
SECTION III BASIC SEWING Straight Stitch Sewing 2 1 1 Stitch pattern: 01 2 Presser foot: Foot A or foot H • Starting to sew Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a seam guide line on the needle plate (see page 24). Lower the needle to the point where you want to start. Lower the presser foot and pull the threads toward the back. Depress the foot control. Gently guide the fabric along a seam guide line letting the fabric feed naturally.
Practice Common Stitching Skills Using the Seam Guides on the Needle Plate 1 2 3 The seam guides on the needle plate are engraved to help you measure seam width. The lines are marked as follows. Numbers on needle plate 15 20 4/8” 5/8” 6/8” Seam width center needle position guide line (cm) 1.5 2.0 1.3 1.6 1.9 * The numbers indicate the width from the center needle position to the edge of the fabric.
• Manual stitch length Press “-” or “+” to adjust the stitch length. To decrease length, press “-”. To increase length, press “+”. The pre-programmed stitch length setting is suitable for most of your sewing needs. However, you can change these settings to accommodate different fabric characteristics or achieve a desired effect. Hold down “-” or “+” until you reach the desired setting. * The reverse stitch length cannot be set longer than 2.5 mm (1/8”).
Various Utility Stitches 3 1 • Basting 2 1 2 3 4 4 Stitch pattern : Presser foot: Thread tension dial : Feed dogs : 24 Basting foot P 1 to 4 Down * Set the manual thread tension at “1 to 4”. Attaching the basting foot: [1] 1 [1] Raise the needle. [2] Remove the foot holder by loosening the thumb screw. [3] Attach the basting foot on the presser bar putting the [2] pin on the needle clamp. Tighten the thumb screw firmly with a large screwdriver.
1 2 3 • Straight stitch The common uses for the straight stitch are: Regular seams and zippers: 1 Stitch pattern : 01 2 Presser foot : Foot A or zipper foot E Edge sewing: 1 2 1 Stitch pattern : 2 Presser foot : 02 Foot A You can also use your basic straight stitch for pintucking and rolled hems. • Automatic reverse stitch 1 2 1 Select stitch pattern : 2 Presser foot : 03 Foot A This reverse stitch can be used for securing, mending and reinforcement stitches.
• Stretch stitch 1 1 Stitch pattern : 2 Presser foot : 2 17 Foot A This stitch is a narrow stretch stitch designed to eliminate puckering on knit fabrics and bias seam, while permitting the seam to be pressed completely flat. The stitch can also be used to simultaneously seam and overcast when sewing on tricot and chiffon for a narrow, almost invisible seam finish.
Zigzag Stitch 1 2 1 Stitch pattern: 2 Presser foot: 05 Foot A • Interfacing You can get better sewing results using interfacing or stabilizer on delicate or stretch fabric such as knit, jersey, tricot etc. • To change the width and length Zigzag stitch is useful for overcasting, applique, mending etc. When you change the stitch width, make sure the needle position is above the fabric. 1. Pre-programmed stitch settings will be displayed. 2.
Variation of Zigzag Stitches 1 2 • Overcasting 1 Stitch pattern: 2 Presser foot: 05 Overedge foot C This zigzag variation is very useful in garment construction and in finishing raw edges of any sewing project. 1. The black ridge and the guide wires on the overedge foot keep the edge neat and the fabric straight. 2. Place your fabric so that the double guide wires come to the edge. The machine will stitch over these wires.
1 2 • Knit stitch 1 Stitch pattern: 2 Presser foot: 12 Foot A Keep an extra space allowance from the fabric edge and after finishing the sewing, cut the extra seam allowance edge as shown. • Overedge sewing (1) 1 2 1 Stitch pattern: 2 Presser foot: 07 Overedge foot C This stitch pattern combines the straight and the zigzag stitches, using the overedge foot, to stitch and overcast seams in one step. It is also a stretch stitch to provide elasticity for knits and extra strength for woven fabrics.
SECTION IV DECORATIVE STITCHING TECHNIQUES Overedge Sewing (2) 1 2 1 Stitch pattern: 2 Presser foot: 13 Overedge foot C This stitch can be used for sewing heavier fabrics that tend to fray extensively such as linens and gabardines. Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn over the edge to insure that your seams will not ravel. Adjust the thread tension so both needle thread and bobbin thread meet at the edge of the fabric.
Sewing Buttons 1 2 1 Stitch pattern: 2 Presser foot: 3 Feed dogs: 05 Satin stitch foot F Down 3 [1] Turn the handwheel by hand five times and raise the needle to the highest point. Match the holes on the button to the horizontal slot on the presser foot. Lower the foot to hold the button in place. Lower the feed dogs. Press the stitch width button “+” or “-” so the needle will enter the left hole of the button. Turn the handwheel so the needle will enter the right hole of the button.
Sensor Buttonhole • Automatic buttonholing Note: * The size of the buttonhole is automatically set by placing the button in the buttonhole foot, as shown. * The button holder of the foot takes a maximum button size of up to 2.5 cm (1”) in diameter. * Before you sew the actual buttonholes on the actual garment, make several practice buttonholes on a scrap of the same fabric. * Use interfacing on stretch fabrics and set the pressure dial at 1 or 2 and sew.
• Sewing preparation 1 Stitch pattern: 2 Presser foot: , 1 08 Automatic buttonhole foot R * When you select the buttonhole stitch, the screen indicates the message: “PULL DOWN BH (Button hole) LEVER” for a few seconds. 2 [1] Attach the automatic buttonhole foot R. [1] Make sure the groove on the holder catches the pin on the foot, when lowering the presser foot. 1 1 Groove 2 Pin 2 [2] Pull the button holder to the back, and place the [2] button in it. Push it together tightly on the button.
[4] After attaching sensor buttonhole foot, raise the foot [4] 8 9 10 6 11 7 lever once to assure spring is in proper position to avoid any gap. Insert corner of fabric under the foot. Press the Up/down needle button twice. Remove the fabric to the left to draw both threads under the foot. Insert the garment under the foot, and lower the needle at the starting point. Then lower the automatic buttonhole foot. If there is a gap, it may cause an uneven buttonhole stitch length as shown.
[6] After sewing the buttonhole stitch, raise the button- [6] holelever until it stops. 12 Buttonhole lever 12 [7] Place a pin on the rear side of the bartack position [7] 15 13 14 so that you donÕt need to worry about cutting the end of the buttonhole stitch. Cut the opening with the seam ripper in your accessorybox.
