AND FEEDING OF FABRIC

ADJUSTING PRESSURE

When the upper and under tensions are properly balanced, a perfect stitch will be formed with both threads interlocking in fabric (Fig. 15).

When the upper tension is too tight, the lower thread is pulled up over the upper thread which is lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 16).

When the upper tension is too loose the upper thread forms loops over the lower thread lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 17).

Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding by pulling the material as this may deflect the needle and cause it to break.

NEVER run machine without material under presser foot.

Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is at its highest point. You are now ready to begin sewing. By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary to touch the hand wheel to start the machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control.

PREPARING

When lighter pressure is required to sew satisfactorily on thin silk or filmy material, the pressure cap should be about halfway down. Release all the way by pressing the snap lock, A, Fig. 20, and then press cap B down again to halfway spot. Lower the feed slightly by turning the red arrow on the knob to “SILK” position, DARNING AND MONOGRAMMING. In order to move the fabric freely in any direction for darning, mending and certain kinds of free-hand embroidery, release the pressure cap B com pletely by pressing down on the snap lock, A, Fig. 20. Turn the knob to “DARN” position, which drops the feed well below the needle plate. To return feed to normal, return knob to “REG”.

Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot. (See Fig. 03-A, B and C).

Turn drop feed knob to “DARN”.

Move zigzag width lever to “0” position or to the extreme left.

Place the button so that its left hole comes directly under the needle, then gently lower the presser foot.

Move the zigzag width lever to the right until the needle comes exactly over the right hole of the button. Turn the balance wheel slowly by hand to be sure the needle clears both holes of the button. Correct width if necessary.

When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine at medium speed, making five or six stitches, stopping with the needle in the left hole.

To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent ravelling, set the stitch width at 0, and take a few stitches in the same hole. If you wish you may place a rounded toothpick over the button, between the two holes, and sew button to fabric in regular way.

Fig. 30-C

SEWING ON BUTTONS

If you plan to make buttonholes on sheer or soft material, place tarlatan or paper, which can be torn away after stitching, under the fabric. And it is always wise to make several buttonholes on scraps of fabric before working on the garment.

For narrower buttonholes, set the stitch width at i / and move 1 stitch width lever to 3 for bar tack.

HOW TO OIL YOUR MACHINE Your machine should be oiled occ asionally to keep it operating smoothly how often depends on the amount of sewing you do.

Before oiling the upper part of the sewing unit at points indicated by arrows in Fig. 36, turn hand wheel toward you until the take-up lever is at its lowest point. Remove top cover by loosening two screws on cover.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR MACHINE

.

Adjust the curved bar to press lightly on the fabric.

By letting the guide ride on the first stitc hing line, successive rows will be an equal dist ance apart.

When the bar is attached so that the curved part is to the tight of the needle, it may also serve as a seam width guide.

SEAM GAUGE OR CLOTH GUIDE. Use the seam gauge as a guide for straight seam s and even rows of top stitching along edges of fabri c. Fasten gauge with accompanying screw in thre aded hole in bed of machine (Fig. 35).

Adjust to seam width desired.
