As the bobbin is being

inserted in the bobbin case, the THREAD FLOW, you will note, is CLOCKWISE (Fig. 5’).

(6) Finally, run the end of the thread through the eye of the needle (20) FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. drawing it through. about 3 or 4 inches. to sew.

You are now ready

7. TO PREPARE FOR SEWING (1) Hold the end of the upper-thread with the left hand, leaving it slack from the hond to the needle.

(2) Turn the Balance wheel over toward you for the needle tC move down and up again to its highest.

(3) Pull the thread you ore holding, as the lower-thread will be brought up with it [nrough the hole in tne needle-plate. as shown (Fig. l2.

4) Place both ends of the upper and lower lhread to the back of the presser foot.

10. TO REGULATE THE THREAD TENSION For ordinary stitching, the tension of the upper and needle threads should be equal so as to lock both threads in the center of the material c.g 14). If one tension is stronger thcn the ctter, im perfect stitching will result. Fine motericis require a light enson, while Heavy materials require more tension to cztoin a perect stitch.

TQ INCREASE the tension, turn the Thumb-Nut (Fig. 1 5) CLOCK

15. TO OIL SEW1NG MAC HINE In order to operate the machine srnootniy, it is alw ays important that all the mo vina parts of the machine are oiled in moderation. A Sew ing Machine does not requir e grease and a DROP OF OIL is sufficient at each poi nt.

The parts to be oiled are illustrated in Fig. 28 and the Vital parts such as Oscilla ting Shaft Front Bearing, Os cil lating Shaft Back Bearn g, Feed Regulator, Oscilla ting rock shaft, Crank Conne cting Rod, SHde take up lev er ink & hnge pin, Arm shaft busHng front and Arm shaft bushing back are automatical ly oiled by our special aevice.

You can automatically oil the vital parts of your machine by pressing the OIL1NG BUTTON (Fig. 25) o few times.

If you ore using your sew ing machine daily, do this once or twice a week.

After oiling, run the machine rapidly for a few minutes Fig. 28 to let the oil reach every moving part. You may check on through the PLASTIC VIEWER how much oil is being If no oil is applied by doing so, you may find that applied by pressing the button. the oil tank is empty.

HOW TO FILL THE OIL TANK Take off the TOP COVER by releasing the screws on the cover and inside the face plate as illustrated. (Fig. 26, 27) Remove the oil button and fill the tank. (Fig. 28) Never use impure oils lest they should hinder the flow throuah the pipes and burden the operation of the Sewing Machine. ® (Fig, 29) The parts to be oiled automatically are shown by ® —

16. SOME USEFUL SEWING HINTS TO TURN CORNERS: 1. Stop the machine with needle while it is still in the material.

2. Raise the presser foot and turn the fabric using the needle as a pivot.

3. Lower the presser foot and resume sewing.

TO SEW ELASTIC FABRICS: In sewing such elastic materials as flannels, bias cut cloths, etc., it is necessary to sew them with moderately low thread tension.

If not, the thread will break when

the sewn materials are stretched.

TO SEW VERY THIN CLOTH: When sewing very thin cloth which tends to crumple as you sew, place a sheet of newspaper or any other thin paper underneath the material and sew with the shortest stitch possible.

This will keep your v.ork from crumpling.

BASTING 1. Use a thicker lower thread than the upper.

2. Lower the tension of the upper thread (and/or raise the lower thread tension) and employ the longest stitch possible.

3. The stitches may then be easily undone by pulling the lower thread. =

TO KEEP YOUR MACHINE IN RERFECT CONDITION: 1

Keep all movmg par s of the machine constantly oiled and clean 1

2. Always turn balance wheel towards you, even when by hand.

3. Do not run machine without cloth.

4. When sewing, do not pull the material lest you will bend the needle. machine is designed to feed itself.

5. Keep hinged plate closed when operating the machine.

6. Do not operate machine when presser bar lifter is raised.

17. CAUSES OF COMMON DIFFICULTIES BREAKING OF THE UPPER THREAD: Incorrect threading.

2. Upper thread tension too high.

3. Faulty needle, or needle set in incorrectly.

4. Needle brushing against presser loot or other attachments.

5. Needle eye too small for thread used.

6. Starting the machine suddenly or with a jerk.

7. Starting the machine with the take up lever at its highest point.

.

BREAKING OF THE LOWER THREAD: 1. Incorrect threading of the bobbin case.

2. Lower thread tension too high.

3. Bobbin being wound too fully.

4. Rough edge of hole in throat plate caused by improper needle action.

BREAKING OF THE NEEDLE: 1. Pulling the fabric while machine -is runnng; thus causng the needle to strike the throat plate.

2. Using bent needle.

SKIPPING STITCHES: 1. Using bent or blunt needles.

2. Needle inserted incorrectly.

3. Needle threaded improperly.

4. Using wrong sized needle.

5. Pressure of presser toot insufficient, especially when sewing heavy material.

UNEVEN STITCHES: 1 Presser foot resting evenly on material.

2. Feed dog not being high enough. .

3. Too short stitches used.

4. Pulling the cloth while the machine is running.

5. Using too fine a needle with too coarse a thread.
