4. THREADING THE BOBBIN CASE Fig3 Before threading the bobbin case, study Fig. 3, 4 and 5 to get a general idea as to how it is done. 1. Hold the bobbin case with your left hand and put the bobbin into the bobbin case with your right hand, leaving about two inches of the thread end unwound (Fig. 3). As the bobbin is being inserted in the bobbin case, the thread flow, you will note, is clockwise. 2.
5. INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BOBBIN CASE 1. Raise the presser bar by lifting the presser bar lifter " vo. 4. After threading the bobbin case hold its latnh /Pposition finger opposite the notch at the top of the sh iFig 7). 7, u forefinger of the left hand, with its shuttle race and replace it on the centre stud of the shuttle 5 . Then release the latch and press the hnhhin ^ u i 6. Allow the end at the thread to hang free S. S'"''' ™«' »•e end of the atud Puth hath Slide Plate, To re™.
6. THREADING THE MACHINE Place a spool of thread on spool pin and raise the take-up lever to its highest point Refer toiFig. 8). Pull thread through slot of upper thread guide (1) down through tension discus(2)up into thread check spring (3) and (4) and on up into the eye of the take-up lever (5) from right to left. Return thread through middle thread (6) down through lower guide (7) and into needle bar thread guide (8). Thread needle from left to right, pulling about four inches of thread through needle.
8. PREPARING TO SEW 1. Hold the end of the upper-thread with the left hand, leaving it slack from the hand to the needle. 2. Turn the balance wheel towards you to raise the needle bar to its highest position, 3. Pull the thread you are holding, and the lower thread will be brought up with it through the hole in the needle plate, as shown (Fig. 10). 4. Place both ends of the upper and lower thread under and to the back of the presser foot (Fig. 11). Fig 10 9. STARTING TO SEW 1.
. REGULATING THE THREAD TENSION For ordinary stitching the tension of the upper and lower threads should be equal so as to lock both threads in the centre of the material (Fig. 13). If one tension is stronger than the other, imperfect stitching will result. Fine materials Needle Thread Tension too strong require a light tension, while heavy matericis require more tension to obtain a perfect stitch. mm TO INCREASE the tension, turn the thread tension dial (Fig. 12) clockwise.
. REGULATING THE STITCH LENGTH The length of the stitch can be changed with the stitch length dial (Fig. 15). In order to set machine at a certain length of stitch, turn the stitch length dial until the indicator is facing the selected number on the scale. The length of the stitch is variable from 0-5. The normal stitch lenght is 2. a. Regulate the length of the stitch as for forward sewing. b. Push reverse stitch button located in the centre of the stitch length dial (Fig, 15) as far as it will go.
13. REGULATING WIDTH OF ZIGZAG STITCH Fig 17 The width of zigzag stitch is regulated by the zigzag lever. By pushing the zigzag lever to right, the width of the zigzag stitch will increase accordingly. And by pushing the zigzag lever to left, the width of the zigzag stitch will decrease accordingly. If at " 0 " position, there will be a straight stitch. 14.
16. OILING To see that your machine is always in smooth running condition, you must keep it oiled at all times. No grease is required, just a drop of oil is sufficient at each time of oiling. Points to be oiled are il lustrated in Fig. 18 & 19 by arrow marks. To oil your machine thoroughly, open topi plate and turn the machine over to get to parts underneath the bed. After oiling, run the machine at high speed for a few minutes to let the oil penetrate to all parts. ^ I,1«.
17. CLEANING THE SHUTTLE RACE When the thread is tangled in the race or lint gets into the space, between the shuttle and shuttle-race, this will cause abrupt heavy running or complete stoppage of the machine. When this occurs 1. Raise the needle bar to its highest position and take the bobbin case out. Fig 20 2. Pull the KNOBS (A) on both side of shuttle race (Fig. 20 & 21) aside, then take out the outside ring and the shuttle body with your fingers. 3.
18. HOW TO MAKE BUTTONHOLES 1. Set zig-zag width between markings 1 and 2. 2. Raise the presser foot and turn the balance wheel towards you to bring needle to its highest position. Replace regular presser foot with special buttonhole foot shown on Fig. 22. Tighten thumb screw. 3. Set stitch length to obtain closely spaced forward stitches. Best length of stitch for buttonholes is when indicator is placed between markings 0 and 1 on dial.

19. DARNING EMBROIDERING AND MONOGRAMMING Lower the feed by turning drop feed knob to "DOWN" thus permitting the work to be moved by hand in any direction desired. Also remove presser foot and raise foot lifting lever and your machine is ready for embroidering and darning. Both will be done most successfully when material is stretched on an embroidery hoop. Hold the hoop closely on the machine base with both hands and press the material with index finger on the vicinity of the needle.
20. BUTTON SEWING Turn balance wheel towards you to get needle to its highest position. Raise presser bar and replace regular presser foot, with button sewing foot as shown in Fig. 23- Drop the feed dog as required for darning and embroidering.

26. SOME USEFUL SEWING HINTS TO TURN CORNERS: 1. Stop the machine while the needle is still in the material. 2. Raise the presser foot and turn the fabric using the needle as a pivot. 3. Lower the presser foot and resume sewing. TO SEW ELASTIC FABRICS: In sewing such elastic materials as jerseys, bias cut cloths etc., it is advisable to sew them with reduced upper thread tension otherwise the thread will break when the sewn materials are stretched.
27. CAUSE OF COMIVION DIFFICULTIES BREAKING OF THE UPPER THREAD; 1. Incorrect threading 2. Upper thread tension too tight 3. Faulty needle or needle set incorrectly 4. Needle brushing against presser foot or other attachments 5. Needle eye too small for thread used 6 . Starting the machine suddenly or with a jerk 7. Starting the machine with the take up lever at its highest position BREAKING OF THE LOWER THREAD; 1. Incorrect threading of the bobbin case 3. Bobbin being wound too fully 2.
