Why is the thread looping/bunching under my fabric?

Thread looping under your fabric is usually caused by not threading the upper tension

correctly. With the presser foot lever in the UP position and tension set at 4, follow the

threading guides/graphics on the top of the machine.

1.Place the thread spool on the spool pin and secure with a thread spool cap.

2.While holding the thread with your right hand, use your left hand to take the thread and

take the thread and follow the thread path by bringing the thread down into the tension

channel around the bottom and up the other side.Continue to thread the machine, but do

not thread the needle.

Before threading the needle, perform this easy test to make sure the upper thread is

threaded correctly. Making sure the presser foot is raised, pull the thread. It should pull

easily. Now lower the presser foot, the thread should now resist when you pull it. There

should be a significant increase in the tension of the thread. If there is no increased

tension, the machine is not threaded correctly.

Why is my machine skipping stitches?

Skipped stitches can occur if needles are damaged or dull, or if they are incorrectly

inserted into the machine.

First, your needle may be dull or damaged and need to be replaced. You should also

check that you are using the correct needle for the type of fabric you are sewing. Refer

to the Needle/Fabric/Thread/Guide on page 11 of this manual.

Next, check that the needle is installed correctly. The needle needs to be pushed as far up

the needle shaft as possible. (It's easy to insert the needle halfway, clamp it down and think

it is installed correctly.) Also, the flat part of the needle should be positioned towards the

back. If the needle is not installed correctly, it will not be able to pull up the bobbin thread

and will cause skipped stitches.

PRINCIPAL PARTS AND WHAT THEY DO NAME OF PARTS 1. Thread Tension Dial lets you select just the right tension for your stitch, thread and fabric. Tension discs, inside the machine, regulate the amount of tension on the needle thread. The thread tension dial is numbered from 1 through 9. The lower the number, the looser the tension is on the needle thread. The higher the number, the tighter the tension is on the needle thread.

CONNECTING MACHINE TO POWER SOURCE REMOVING / INSTALLING EXTENSION BED To remove the extension bed from the machine, hold it firmly and pull it toward the left. Once removed, you will have access to the free arm. This allows you to sew pants or sleeve hems, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. Connect the machine to a power source, as illustrated. This machine is equipped with an electric plug that must be used with the appropriate power outlet. Unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.

NEEDLE / FABRIC / THREAD GUIDE INSERTING / CHANGING NEEDLES There are various styles of needles available for your machine, depending on the type of fabric you are sewing. Be sure to use the correct style and size of needle to achieve the best results for your sewing projects. The most common needle styles are regular point and ball point. The most commonly used sizes are: 11/80, 14/90 and 16/100. The smaller the number is, the smaller the needle size is.

INSERTING THE BOBBIN THRE ADING THE UPPE R THRE AD To insert the bobbin, first remove the bobbin cover plate. Place the bobbin into the bobbin case. Pull the thread tail to check that the bobbin turns in a counter-clockwise direction. If it turns in a clockwise direction, remove it from the bobbin case, turn it over and replace it into the bobbin case. Pull the thread tail again to ensure that it moves in a counter-clockwise direction. Place the spool base, thread and spool cap onto the spool pin.

CHOOSING A STITCH PATTERN THRE ADING THE UPPE R THRE AD The Pattern Selector Dial is used to select the stitch you want to sew. The numbers on the dial directly correspond to the display on the front of the machine. Simply turn the dial until the number of the stitch that you want to sew lines up with the red dot marking above the dial. (1)(2) (3) (5)(6) (4) RAISING THE BOBBIN THREAD Before you start to sew, it will be necessary to draw up the bobbin thread. Raise the presser foot lifter.

THREAD TENSION REVERSE SEWING / CUTTING THE THREAD Having selected the correct needle and thread combination for the fabric being used, it may be necessary to adjust the tension of the sewing machine to ensure a well balanced stitch. A well-balanced stitch is produced when the top and under thread appear the same on the fabric. Your machine has an adjustable top tension dial. This control exerts tension on the top and under thread as they pass through the machine to form a stitch.

ZIG-ZAG STITCHING ZIG-ZAG STITCHING The Zig-Zag stitch can be used for seam finishing, appliqué work or decorative sewing. Seam Finishing Seam edges support the garment and should be given a durable finishing, particularly if the fabric is likely to ravel. There are two different ways to finish seams: Trimming after stitching the seam edge or overedging. Try the techniques on a scrap fabric first to determine which is right for your project. 1.

DARNING PLATE MULTI ZIG-ZAG STITCHING The multi-stitch zig-zag is a very versatile stitch. Use it to mend, insert elastic or simply as a decorative embellishment. Mending a Tear Set the machine for Stitch 12 and attach the Satin Foot. Trim any loose threads from the torn area. For reinforcement of the torn area, place an underlay of interfacing or small fabric scrap (similar fabric type and color) behind the tear. Working from the right side, bring the edges of the tear together and then sew.
