(Needle threads from front to back.) Note: presser bar must be up when threading machine to assure that thread is seated fully into thread tension disk. Twin needle threading: Use two spools of thread, one on each spool pin. Thread from the front spool G should pass through the right side of upper thread tension disk and thread from the back spool through the left side. Follow the same threading sequence for a single needle taking care to not twist the threads. Thread from front spool and right side of tension disk will go through the eye of right needle. Thread from back spool and left side of tension disk will go through the left needle.DRAWING UP BOBBIN THREAD 1.Hold upper thread with left hand, turn the hand wheel slowly towards you until the needle goes down and comes up. Then stop the hand wheel when the takeup lever is at its highest position. Lightly draw up the upper thread and the lower thread will be brought up ina loop. 2.Pull out both threads and place them together under presser foot to the rear of machine. -10—TO START SEWING f 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 ‘to 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.When turning the hand wheel manually, always tum it toward you. 2.Guide the cloth gently with your hand. 3.To prevent breaking needle always stop with the needle out of the fabric. 4.Needle must be out of fabric when changing zigzag width or pattern selector to prevent bending or breaking the needle. =Ai=ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION Correct Fabric Upper thread LL Bobbin thread Upper thread tension may be adjusted by turning the thread Incorrect tension dial. Inside-of fabric Upper thread Bobbin tension is determined by the size of thread being used. To determine correct tension, hold thread as shown in figure on bottom left. If bobbin case slides down the thread, the tension is too loose. Tighten by turning the screw on bobbin case, (figure on bottom right) slightly to the right, Still holding the thread and giving it a slight jerking motion (yoyo action) the bobbin case should unwind a little. The unwinding should stop when the hand action is discontinued. If bobbin case will not slide down the thread, the tension is too tight. Turn the adjusting screw slightly to the left {counter-clockwise) to loosen. Adjusting screw should be tured in very small increments. Upper thread tension can then be. adjusted to form the desired balanced stitch. Tighter tensions can be had by turning the dial to the higher numbers, looser tension is produced by smaller numbers. Lower thread tension can be adjusted by tuming screw on bobbin case slightly to the ( right (clock-wise) to increase y tension. (Anti-clockwise) to the left to decrease tension. -12—CHANGING SEWING DIRECTIONS 1.Lower needle down into fabric and raise presser foot, Pivot the fabric around the Needle to change direction as desired. 2.Put down presser foot and start to sew. =<REGULATING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE 1.Push down lever for desired pressure, for light fabrics set lever at 1, set at 2 for medium fabrics and 3 for heavy fabrics. 2.Insufficient pressure may cause poor feeding, skipped stitches. or difficulty in guiding the fabric. 3.When daming or sewing freehand embroidery release the pressure by setting the lever on 0. 4.Texture and weight of fabric determine amount of Pressure to be used. A general rule is use enough pressure to keep fabric from creeping side to side when sewn. Napped and soft textured fabrics require less pressure to Prevent top layer of fabric from being stretched when sewn. DROP FEED APush feed lever down to drop feed below needle plate for darning, embroidery, and button sewing. B.Push feed lever up to raise feed above needie plate for normal sowing. -14—CHANGING NEEDLE Needle clamp screw Flat face side away from you 1 Raise needle to its highest position. 2.Loosen needle clamp screw and remove old needle: 3.With the flat side of the needle facing away from you, insert needle as far up as it will go. 4 Tighten the needle clamp screw securely. =158—FABRIC THREAD NEEDLE TABLE Please note that the following list is a guide when sewing different fabrics.
