9. HOW TO SEW STRAIGHT STITC HES (1) Prepare for Sewing as Follows: (a) Set the zigzag width regulating knob to “0” (zero po sition). Now you can sew straight sewing. (b) 1-bid the upper thread lightly in your left hand . (c) Turn the balance wheel toward you gently with your right hand, until needle enters needle plate & re turns to highest point. (d) When the needle bar with the thread inserted into the needle has been raised, pull the upper threa d, and the lower thread will come out of the needle hole picked up by the upper thread. (e) Put both the upper and the lower threa d beneath the presser foot and pull the ends to the back.

Fig.

(2) Actual Sewing: (a) Place the cloth to be sewn beneath the presser foot, making one stitch by turning the balance wheel, and lower the presser foot. (b) Start sewing. (c) Do not pull on the material. This often causes the needle to break. (3) Flow to Change the Direction of Sewing: —8—

Stop sewing with the needle in the cloth. Raise the presser foot and reverse the direction of the material. Lower the presser foot and resume sewing. to Remove the Cloth: When the needle bar has reac hed its highest point, stop sewing. Raise the presser foot and pul l the material out to the lef t.

Fig. 12 (5) Adj ustment of the Upper and Lower Thread Tension: (a) Satisfactory seams can be produced by being sure the upper thread and the lower thread are knotted right in the middle of the two pieces of material bein g sewn. See Figure C. (b) When too much tens ion is applied to the upper thread, the result show n in Figure A is produced. (c) When too much tension is applied to the lower thread, the result shown in Figure B

is produced. (looping on the bottom) (6) How to Adjust the Tension of the Upper Thread (a) Usua11 perfect seams can be prod uced by regulating the tension applied to the upper thread. (b) Turn the t2nsion disc to the right to increase the tension. (c) Turn it to the left to loosen the tension. (d) Do not turn the disc too far at one time or irregular seams will be produced. (7) How to Adjust the Tension of the Lower Thread (a) Ordinarily it is unnecessary to change the tension of the lower thread, but there are some fabrics that require a change. (b) Turn the screw to the right in order to tighten the tension. (c) Turn the screw to the left in order to loosen the tension. (d) As it depends entirely upon the tension whether or not you sew well, it is highly important that you learn how to adjust the tension as soon as possible. (e) Use the small screw driver in your acces sory kit to make these adjustme nts.

TO USE DROP FEED DEVICE

Darning and embroidering is facilitated by means of the drop feed knob on the right hand corner of the bed. When this knob is set at “0”, the feed teeth drop below the surface of the needle plate so that it will not interfere with the free movement of the cloth. The feed teeth will return and resume their normal operation when the knob is set at “2”. For sewing light materials like silk, it may be set at “1” position in order to avoid puckering the material. —11—

12. ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE TO CLOTH (a) In the case necessary

of ordinary to adjust

cloth, it is

the pressure,

seldom

but

when sewing thin or delicate materials the pressure must be so adjusted that the cloth gets the

proper pressure. For instance, too much pres sure will cause the material to pucker. (b) Press down the patch-.o-tnatic darner (A) and the presser bar will jump up and the pressure will release. Press down the presser bar (B) and the pressure will become strong. (c) You can easily adjust the pressure. case of

DARNING AND EMBROIDERY

aise the presser bar lifter and remove the presi. foot. Then lower the presser bar lifter to ensure the thread tension device is set correctly. St the drcp feed knob at “O’ Now your machine is ready for embroidery and darning. Embroidery will be done most successfully when the fabric is stretched and fixed in an embroidery hoop. Hold the hoop closely on the machine bed with both hands, press the material with your left forefinger in the vicinity of the needle. This will help in holding down the material and will prevent the machine from making skipped stitches. Manipulate work carefully and be sure to keep fingers out of the path of the needle. Adjust thread tensions for the best appearance of embroidery work and slightly increase the bobbin thread tension to avoid the lower thread from being pulled up.

NARROW HEMMING

Turn balance wheel towards you until needle reaches its highest point. Raise presser bar and remove the regular presser foot. At tach hemmer foot (Fig. 27). 1. Fold over edge of material approximately “ wide, then fold it over again in the same way for a length of about 2”. Insert cüs folded end from beneath into spiral formed opening (scroll) or hemmer foot. Move material back and forth until the hem forms itself in the scroll. 2. Pull material towards you until the be ginning of the hem is just below the needle. 3. Lower presser foot and begin to sew. Fig. 27 Guide material into hemmer foot while sewing (Fig. 27). NOTE: Do not crowd material into scroll and do not leave scroll only partly filled by material. Feed just enough material into the hemmer foot to fill out the scroll. Instead of a straight stitch, you can also use a zigzag stitch for this hemming operation. Be sure however, to adjust the width of the zigzag stitch to be as wide as the hem itself. Using a very long stitch and tight tensions will pro duce a shell stitch. —20—
