32 CONTROL OF WIDTH — ZIGZAG STITCHING 12 3 4 Width of zigzag stitch is controlled by the Stitch Width Selector. As the selector lever is moved to the right, the width of zigzag stitch is increased. Settings of 1 through 4 are indicated, but intermediate settings may also be used. To avoid damage to needle and fabric, do not make any selector adjustments with the needle in the fabric.
33 NEEDLE POSITIONS FOR ZIGZAG STITCHING Ì 2 3 4 Needle position setting of C (Center) places stitching in central needle position. Settings L (Left) and R (Right) place stitch ing in left or right needle positions at widths less than 4. Center (C) needle position is preferred. Left (L) or Right (R) settings are used only when special placement of stitching is desired... for example: buttonholes, button sewing, blind stitching. Do not make any needle position adjust ments with the needle in the fabric.
34 STITCH LENGTH ADJUSTMENT FOR SATIN STITCHING Upper inclined area of indicator plate provides a means of gradually shortening stitch length. As knob is turned, pointer rides up incline until a closed satin stitch is obtained. The length setting will vary with texture of fabric. Make a test on a scrap of self-fabric, using Special Purpose Foot, before proceeding with the actual work.
35 TENSION ADJUSTMENT FOR SATIN STITCHING Satin stitching requires lighter ten sion than straight stitching or open designs. The wider the satin stitching the lighter the tension required. Wide satin stitching, Stitch Width Selector at 4, requires least amount of tension. For narrower satin stitching slightly more tension should be used. To determine correct tension set ting, a test sample should be made on self-fabric using Special Purpose Foot.
36 TWO NEEDLES The needle clamp accommodates two needles. Catalog 2020 (15 x 1), generally of the same size.

48 GENERAL PURPOSE FOOT Used with general pur pose throat plate, this foot provides a wide needle slot which accommodates all stitch settings and can be used for most sewing operations. APPLICATIONS Seams and Darts Seam Finishes Mending Blind Stitched Hems LINGERIE SEAMS Dainty lingerie seams are made dura ble and rip-proof with Zigzag stitching (FASHION Disc(T)), After straight stitching seams on wrong side, press both seam allowances in same direc tion.
49 SEAMS (Confd) Proceed to stitch, allowing needle narrow Zigzag stitch (FASHION Disc ®) is ideal for to alternately enter seam tape and seaming knit fabrics. It is particularly seam line. suitable for underarm seams, or other seams where elasticity and give are needed. For curved or bias seams, where a stay is needed to prevent undue stretching, this same stitch can be used to apply seam tape. To insure a flat, smooth finish, position tape with edge exactly on seam line.
50 DARTS IN INTERFACING Non-woven interfacings can be shaped without bulk with Zigzag stitching (FASHION Disc 0 ). Mul tiple Stitch Zigzag FASHION Disc (|) may also be used. Cut out dart allowance on stitching line and bring raw edges together. Pin over a muslin stay and stitch. Back stitch at both ends. SEAM FINISHES Seam edges support garment and should be given a durable finish where fabrics have a tendency to ravel. Zigzag stitch (FASHION Disc 0 ) is ideal for such finishing.
51 MENDING Zigzag stitching is well suited for all types of household mending. Multipie Stitch Zigzag (FASHION Disc (g) ) provides a firm, flexible bond for repair of tears, and is ideal for rein forcement and application of elastic. Stitch length and width are regulated according to need. Tears. Trim ragged edges and reinforce tear with underlay. Shorten stitch length at ends and corners for added ^ ^' strength.
52 THE SEAM GUIDE SEAMS Align guide with presser foot. Adjust machine for straight stitching. Pin seam edges and baste if necessary. Guide fabric edges lightly against guide while stitching. For curved seams: Set attachment at an angle so that end closest to needle acts as a guide. Shorten stitch length for greater elasticity and strength. For straight seams. The seam guide aids in attaining uniformity of seam width.
53 BLIND STITCHED HEMS FASHION DISC: BUND STITCH STITCH WIDTH: 2-4 NEEDLE POSITION: C STITCH LENGTH: 10-15 GENERAL PURPOSE THROAT PLATE AND PRESSER FOOT SEAM GUIDE Blind stitching provides a durable hem finish almost invisible and com parable to hand sewing. Mark, turn and press hem in usual way. Baste a guide line ^/4" from top hem edge. Place hem edge over feed of machine, turn back bulk of fabric to line of basting, thereby creating a soft fold.
54 THE FOOT HEMMER The narrow hemmer forms and stitches a per fectly turned hem without basting or pressing. It is attached to machine in place of regular presser foot. APPLICATIONS Fine Hems Edging Ruffles Hemmed Seams Hemming with Lace Lace Insertion Lingerie Finishes STITCH WIDTH: O NEEDLE POSITION: C STRAIGHT STITCH THROAT PLATE FOOT HEMMER HEMMING Form a double Vs" fold at edge of fabric; crease fold for about 2". Draw bobbin and needle threads under hem mer.
55 HEMMED SEAMS Hemmed seams are appropriate where a fine narrow seam is desired. • Allow a scant seam allowance. • With right sides of fabric together, place upper layer to left of lower layer. • Insert two fabric edges into hemmer and proceed as for plain hem. DECORATIVE HEMS Itili isti Narrow hem edges can be turned and decorated in one operation using foot hemmer and a stitch pattern.
56 MULTI-SLOTTED BINDER ADJUSTING LUG SLOT FOR FOLDED BIAS TAPE SCROLL FOR UNFOLDED BINDING Multi-slotted binder is used to apply commercial binding as well as self fabric bias to an unfinished edge. This colorful trim is attractive when applied to children’s wear, aprons and house hold textiles. It is a practical finish for seam edges that ravel and for making bound seams. The binder will accommodate both straight and zigzag stitching.
57 MULTI-SLOTTED BINDER (Confd) Curved edges require slightly different fabric handling from straight edges. Inside curves are straightened as they are fed into binder. If fabric is soft and has a tendency to stretch, reinforce edge with a single row of stitching before binding. Outside curves tend to lead away from center slot of scroll and should be guided so that a full seam width is taken at needle point. Do not attempt to pull or straighten fabric into full length of scroll.

FINGER 'ADJUSTING SCREW SEPARATOR RUFFLING ^SEPARATOR BLADE BLADE GUIDE This attachment offers a simple and effective way to make gathered and pleated ruffles. Ruffles may be made separately or made and applied at the same time. STITCH WIDTH: 0 NEEDLE POSITION: C STRAIGHT STITCH THROAT PLATE RUFFLER Number 1 space setting is for gathers and places fullness at every stitch.
59 THE RÜFFLER (Cont*d) Activating Parts. separator blade Ruffling blade and are of blue steel and hold material to be gathered between them. Ruffling blade forms gathers or pleats by carrying fabric to needle according to spacing and fullness to which ruffler is adjusted. Separator guide is slotted to guide seam edges evenly and to separate ruffled strip from material to which ruffle is at tached. Preparation • Raise needle to highest point.
60 THE RÜFFLER (Confcl) Length of sewing machine stitch also affects ruffle fullness. Since a given attachment setting puts an equal amount of fullness into each stitch regardless of its length, shortening the stitch (more stitches to inch) makes ruffle fuller; length ening the stitch (fewer stitches to inch) makes it less full. For fine, closely spaced gathering, use a short stitch and an outward adjustment of adjusting screw.
61 THE RÜFFLER (Cont’d) Attaching ruffle RUFFLING MATERIAL GARMENT • Place ruffle strip between two blue blades and through first separator guide. • Place material to which ruffle is to be attached between separator blade and feed of machine. • Proceed as for plain gather ing. Right sides of fabrics are placed together when the seam is to fall to the inside.
62 THE RÜFFLER (Confd) Pleating • Move adjusting lever of ruffler to desired space setting for pleats either 6 or 12 stitches apart. • Set stitch length. For deepest pleat, activate adjusting finger and turn adjusting screw inward to its maximum setting. For smaller pleats turn adjusting screw outward. A short stitch places pleats more closely together; a long stitch separates the pleats for a greater distance. • Insert fabric to be pleated between blue blades and into first separator guide.
63 THE RÜFFLER (Cont'd) Crisp fabrics cut on the crosswise grain form the sharpest pleats. Glazed fabrics handle best if the glazed side is downward and the soft backing is next to the ruffler blade. Group Pleating By using star setting (straight stitching) alternately with 6 or 12 stitch setting, pleats are formed in groups. Even spacing between groups is accomplished by counting the number of stitches.
64 FREE MOTION WORK Darning Household linens, children’s clothes and knit wear of all kinds can be re paired with the darning stitch. Procedure • Trim ragged edges from area to be darned. Center worn section in em broidery hoops. • Remove presser foot. • Insert lifting plate under throat plate as instructed on page 46. STITCH WIDTH: 0 NEEDLE POSITION: C STRAIGHT STITCH THROAT PLATE WITH LIFTING PLATE STITCH LENGTH: ABOVE 20 Position work under needle and lower presser bar to engage tension.
65 FREE MOTION WORK Darning (Contad) • When opening is filled, turn work' ° and continue stitching until darn is completed. • Run machine at moderate speed and control hoops with a steady con tinuous movement. Slow movement of hoops will produce a short stitch; more rapid movement lengthens the stitch. Fairly long stitches are best for knit and tricot fabrics; short stitches are best for cottons and linens as they approximate weave of fabric and are strong enough to withstand many launderings.
66 FASHION* AIDS The Edge Stitcher This attachment provides a series of slotted guides which regulate the placement of stitching in relation to a fabric edge. Among many decorative and practical applications are the joining and insertion of lace, tucking from pin wixlth to 1/4", French seaming, piping, facing and seam finishing. Tucker Since the beauty of tucking lies in its explicit accuracy, use of the Tucker will contribute greatly to the attrac tiveness of the work.
