How to insert a needle Loosen the needle screw (A, Fig. 3).
A F Fig. 6. Bobbin winding is simple Place a spool of thread on the spooi pin nearest the haridwheel. Run the thread through the thread guide (A. Fig. 6) and down between the tension discs (B, Fig. 6). Push the bobbin onto the winder spindle (C, Fig. 6) which is pressed in at the same time, and then the sewing mechanism is automatically disengaged. 4 Wind the thread two or three times around the bobbin clockwise and start the bobbin winder by pressing the foot pedal and wind ss ith a moderate speed.
Threading the bobbin case Hold the bobbin case in your left hand, with the slot in the edge upwards or facing you (Fig. 7). Take the bobbin in your right hand, so that the thread end leads away from you, and drop it into the case. Then, still with your right hand, draw the thread into the slot in the edge of the case (Fig. 8). Now lead the thread under the tension spring and let it come out at the notch in the end of the spring (Fig. 9). Pull the thread out a few inches.
Upper thread: This is the way to thread it 14— —---. Bring the thread take-up lever (13, Fig. 12( to its highest position by turning the hand wheel toward you. Put a spooi of thread on one of the spool pins (26, Fig. Pass thread through the thread guides (14, Fig. 12), then round from right to left between the tension discs çID), over Fig. 11. Inserting the bobbin case Turn the hand wheel (15, Fig. 1 to s ard von until the needJe is in its highest poation.
How to get the right thread tension The tension of the upper thread is regulated by the pressure of the tension discs (10, Fig. 12) against each other. This pres sure is adjusted by means of a calibrated control, marked with rings and figures (11, Fig. 12). When three rings are visible, there is a light tension on the upper thread; two rings = me tight tension. Numbers indicate the mid hum: one ring point of each degree of tension.
Now we are ready to sew! \\ith its at—proof slittle. the Nusqs ama pro Ic is an i\ceflettu straiiht stitch, This sit desii tied so as to release eaetiv the same lenith of no matter tow fast thread at each resolution the machine is run. Now, if von has e selected the rtiht needle and thread .and have ci ‘-eked the thread tension, we are reads to start sewin Place tIle fabric under the presser foot and loner tte presser bar.
Reverse stitching, locking seams Fig. 14. Turning a corner To turn a corner, stop the machine ith the needle in the fabric, raise the presser foot and rotate the fabric around the needle until it is in position for the new seam. Then loss er the presser toot and continue sewing. Setting the stitch When the stitch length control is set below 3, the machine sews forward. As soon as you move the lever up past 3, it starts sewing backwards, moving the fab ric toward you instead of away from you.
Find if difficult to sew straight? Even those who are used to se wing on a machine sometimes have difficulty in running a straight scam. This difficulty can be over come simple and easily, by lear inng to use the presser toot as a uid. or using the practical Lde guide Special attachment S-1342D. — Fig. 16. For quilting and marking, use the edge guide a attach the edge guide Fig. 16) by sliding from left to rUht into the hole in the presser bar.
It’s easier than you would think to sew on a zipper F Fig. 17. Tucks and stitched edges The important thing when sewing tucks or stitching edges is that the tucks be of even depth all along their length, and that the stitching is parallel to the dge of the fabric. These are instances where you can make use of the presser foot or the edge guide. Mark the distance between the folds of the tuck by machine stitching without thread, then fold the cloth along the markings.
Gathering You can use the Husqvarna to do gathering in several ways. Gathering with elastic thread Br using Lastc\ thread you can make d elastic gathers. \Vind the elastic rhrca b’ haimd on the bobbin, and use ordinary thread for time upper thread. This kind of gathering is especially suitable for under vcar, etc.
Making narrow hems Felled seams As special attachments are hemmer feet for three widths of hem. To sew the hem shown below, use hemmer toot No. 3035 (Fig. 19). Remove the presser foot and attach the in. (3 mm) or so hemmer. Clip off from the corner of the tabric where the hem starts, and told over the edge for in. (13 mm) to a depth suited about to the cloth and the hemmer foot. Sew a single stitch where the hem starts.
thread Lan be used as the lower thread. Marking c hange over to very soarse needle — No, 110 or 120 is suitable if sewing with thread No. 14 or 12. Select the stitch lLngth most suitable for the monogram. Draw in the pattern and stttch around the outline. If a cry full seam is requi red make two outline stitches close to ich other.

Embroidery with solid raised stitching Remove the presser foot and lower the feed dog. Thread the machine with an embroidery thread intended for sewing machines silk or mercerized thread). Stretch the fabric with the outline design on an embroidery hoop, First sew a stitch or two by turning the hand wheel to bring up the lower thread; then holding both the upper and lower threads lock them by again sewing a couple of stitches.

Attaching lace edging If it is required to sew on a lace border and hem the material at the same time the procedure is exactly the same as with ordinary hemming. Replace the presser foot saith the small hemmer. The mate rial is run into the hemmer while the lace is fed through the spiral lying nearest to the needle hole. NB. Check that the needle passes through both the material and the lace. Fig. 28.) [‘or darning use the darning foot.
Ordinary darning Darning an edge Start by sewing backwards and forwards over the hole, making long stitches across the fabric (that is, in the direction of the selvage). Since the feed dog is inoperative, you have to move the work by hand. The quicker ou move it, the longer will be the stitches. The darned spot will be stronger With the strong side uppermost. stretch the fabric in the hoop so that the hole comes in the middle (Fig. 30).
Darning corners The simplest way to mend worn corners is to use tarla tan or gauze as a foundation. Stretch the gauze in the hoop with the worn corner on top of it (Fig. 31). First ww around the edges, and then darn the worn part in the best suited to the fabric. Sometimes buttonhole or the edges. Trim plain stitching should be used have finished. off the gauze when way to reinforce you Fig. 31.
