REMOVING EXTENSION TABLE To convert the machine from flat-bed use to free-arm use simply remove the ex tension table as shown. FREE-ARM SEWING 1. Especially useful when sewing sleeves, pants leg, tubular fabrics,etc,more easily. 2. To sew tubular, just slip the sleeve or pants leg on the free arm as shown above. 3. This sewing machine can be used as a flat bed machine, but easily converts to free arm machine by removing the extension table.

DRAWING UP BOBBIN THREAD Hold the top thread with a slight tension in your left hand and rotate the hand wheel towards you so that the needle goes down and up again, then gently pull your thread out towards the rear and under your sewing foot and you are ready to start sewing. CHANGING SEWING DIRECTIONS 1. Lower needle down into fabric and raise presser foot, pivot the fabric around the needle to change direction as desired. —10— 2. Put down presser foot and start to sew.
ADJUSTING UPPER THREAD TENSION It is only normally necessary to adjust the upper thread tension to achieve the correct balance between the upper and lower threads. The higher the number on the dial the greater the tension.
REGULATING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE L 1. Adjust lever to desired pressure. For light fabrics use 3, for medium fabrics use 12, for heavy fabrics use 1. 2. Insufficient pressure may cause poor feeding, skipped stitches, or difficulty in guiding the fabric. 3. No. pressure adjustment 0 is required when darning or sewing freehand embroidery. DROP FEED / Lower feed dog by pushing lever, down in direction of arrow. (No feeding of fabric) Used when sewing on buttons, free hand embroidery, etc.
FABRIC THREAD Tweed NEEDLE GUIDE 50 Silk As a general rule use shorter stitch lengths on finer fabrics and longer stitch lengths with heavier fabrics, finer thread and needles with finer fabrics and heavier thread and needles with heavier fabrics. Use special ‘ball point’ or ‘stretch’ needles on difficult stretchy fabrics.

TO START SEWING Important Hints. 1. Raise the take-up lever to its highest position when starting and stopping sewing. 2. Hold both threads about 10 cms to the rear of machine for the first two or three stitches. 3. Sufficient fabric should be placed under needle before lowering presser foot. 4. Depress foot/Speed control and start to sew. 5. Test the machine stitches on a scrap of fabric you plan to use, adjusting the machine for the length of stitch and tension suitable to your fabric. Attention. 1. 2.
STRAIGHT STITCH While “2” or “3” on the dial gives a suitab’e stitch length for ordinary purposes, the stitch length varies with the weight of fabric, thickness of thread and pur poses, the stitch length varies with the-weight of fabric, thickness of thread and purpose of sewing. Generally speaking, the finer the fabric, the finer the thread and shorter the stitch length; the heavier the fabric, the thicker the thread and longer the stitch length.

BLIND HEMMING (optional) Fold the fabric as illustrated with the “wrong” side facing upwards.(1), Place the folded fabric under the foot as show n. Turn the hand wheel towards you by hand, until the needle swings over to the far left. It should then just pierce the fold of the fabric. (2) If it does not, then adjust the position of the fabric. Once the Correct position of the fabric has been set, position the “guide” of the foot (3) up against the fold (2) by turning the nut (4).
THREE STEP ZIG-ZAG The three step zig-zag stitch has a wide range of sewing applications, such as patching, darning, repairing tears, mending, sewing on elastic and lace, oversawing edges etc. on a wide range of fabrics. The illustration shows patching, where the stitches are to the edge of the patch and a tear, where the stitches go firstly over the centre of the tear and then to either side but overlapping slighly on the first row. The stitch length can be reduced until the stitches are very close tother.
OVERCASTING EDGES For thicker fabrics Li Both these stitches are designed to overlock the edge of a fabric. just When the needle is at its extreme right position, allow it to just pass over or require. you effect the pierce the edge of the fabric according to Using the overcasting foot will prevent puckering of thin fabrics. BINDING To sew fabrics edge to edge select the multi zigzag stitch.
STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH The straight stretch sews two stitches forward and one stitch backwards 0 thereby ving “triple’ strength. Use it for stretch fabrics and for areas of “stress” where a strong stitch is required.
SEWING ON BUTTONS 1. Fit darning plate as described on page 12. 2. Use button presser foot and attach firmly. 3. Place button between presser foot and fabric and lower presser foot. 4.

(3) illustrated and reverse the procedure to way, leave needle in the fabric, raise foot To move the “zip slider” out of the the foot and continue. and slide it behind the foot.
BUTTON HOLE SEWING Fit the button hole foot. marki1g to achieve the correct density Set the stitch length dial within the green sequence illustrated (1) selecting the in (closeness) of satin stitch. (1) Sew patterns 18, 19, 20 and 19 again. USER TIPS some spare fabric as settings will change Always sew a sample buttonhole on thin, stretchy or other difficult fabrics, very according to the fabric used.
