CHANGING SEWING DIRECTIONS 1. Lower needle down into fabric and raise presser foot, pivot the fabric around the needle to change dire ction as desired. —10— 2. Put down presser foot and start to sew.
ADJUSTING UPPER THREAD TENSIO N It is only normally nece ssary to adjusi 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 PRESSE R FOOT PRESSURE 1. Adjust lever to desire d pressure. For light fabrics use 3, for use 1-2, for heavy fabric medium fabrics s use 1. 2. Insufficient pressure may cause poor fee ding, skipped stitche in guiding the fabric. s, or difficulty 3.

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 th rear of machine for the first two or three stitches. 3. Sufficient fabric should be placed under needle before lowering presser foot. 4. Depress toot/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. 3.
STRAIGHT STITCH While “2” or “3” on the dial gives a suitable 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 fhe thread and shorter the stitch length; the heavier the fabric, the thicker the thread and longer the stitch length. I I I I I $ 3 2 0.
BLIND HEMMING Fold the fabric as illustrated with the “wrong” side facing upwards.(l) Place the folded fabric under the foot as shown. 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 ZIGZAG 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, oversew ing 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.
OVERCASTING EDGES For thicker fabrics Both these stitches are designed to overlock the edge of a fabic. When the needle is at Its extreme right position, allow it to just pass over or just pierce the edge of the fabric according to the effect you require. Using the overcasting foot will prevent puckering of thin fabrics.
STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH The straight stretch sews two stitc hes forward and one stitch backwards, thereby giving “triple” strength. Use it for stre tch fabrics and for areas of “str ess” where a strong stitch is required. (2A ) TRIPLE ZIG-ZAG (RIC-R AC) STITCH The triple zig-zag stitch is a very strong zig-zag stitch used for seaming heavy fabrics such as canvas etc. It can be used to oversew edges where the seam has already been sewn by straight stitch, or as an attracti a ve decorative stitch.
SEWING ON BUTTONS Fit darning plate as described on page 12. Use button presser foot and attach firmly. Place button between presser foot and fabric and lower presser foot. Manuaily turn hand wheel towards you ensuring that the needle enters into both holes of button without obstruction. (Increase or decrease width setting). 5. Sew about 7 stitches. 6. Pull both threads to the underside and tie together. 1. 2. 3. 4.
SEWING IN ZIPS Fit the Zipper foot. The Zipper foot can be moved to the left or right. (2) To move foot over to the right as illustrated and reverse the procedure to sew the left hand side of the zipper. (3) sew on the right hand side of the zipper, To move the ‘zip slider” out of the way, leave needle in the fabric, raise foot and slide it behind the foot. Lower the foot and continue.

Fold over the fabric edge by about 3mm and place it under the foot. Secure the Take out the workpiece and draw the hem folded edge with a few stitches. into the hemmer foot by pulling the threads. 3. Lower the foot and sew the hem. 4. During sewing, fold the fabric to the left a little and allow it to run into the hemmer foot. 5.
TWIN NEEDLE (optional) I Thread machine as for normal sewing using both spooi pins and pass the threads through the same procedure but through the eye of each needle. NB. Sewing width should not exceed the third widest stitch width, exceeding this will result in breaking of needles. Suitable for stitch numbers 1, 2, 3 and 13 only. FREEHAND EMBROIDERY In freehand embroidery, unlike mechanically controlled stitching, feeding of the fabric is done by hand without assistance from teed dogs.
CLEANING OF RACE AND SHUTTLE HOOK Raise the needle bar to its highest point by turning the hand wheel toward you. Open shuttle cover. 1) 2) 3) 4) Take out the bobbin case. Unlock the shuttle race holder. Release the shuttle race cover. Take out the shuttle hook Clean dust and gummed oil off each part with an oiled cloth.
