Note: 1n general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and needles are
used for sewing heavy fabrics. Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will
be used for actual sewing.
Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a BLUE TIPPED needle. The blue tipped
needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent thread distortion.

RAISING QR LOWERING THE PRESSER FOOT
1. By raising or lowering the presser foot lifter, the presser foot

goes up and down respectively.
2. For additional clearance, the foot lifter can be raised higher to
sew on heavy fabrics.
TO REGULATE THE PRESSURE ON THE MATERIAL

ON THE MATERIAL
Medium light weight fabrics require an intermediate pressure. If

sewing fine silk or filmy fabrics, lighten pressure by turning thumb
screw C, on top of the machine over to the left so that it screws
upward. It sewing heavy napped fabrics, increase the pressure
by turning this thumb screw over to the right so that it screws
downward. The pressure should be only heavy enough to prevent
side creeping of the material and still obtain a uniform stitch.
Pile fabrics require a lighter pressure than their appearance of
thickness would indicate, and stitching should be in the direction
of the nap on napped fabrics and in the direction of the pile on
pile fabrics.

QLARZED PLUG INFORMATION
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
