STITCH LENGTH CHART (APPROXIMATE)

SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH The length of the stitch is regulated by the dial, shown in Fig. 13.

Near 0 is the shortest stitch and 5 is the longest,, but the dial may be set at any spot between the markings for a variety of lengths. Turn the dial to the right to lengthen and to the left to shorten the stitch.

The number stitch length you choose is indicated by the pointer.

ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS

Fig. 158

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

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. 15-B).

When the upper tension is too loose, the upper thread forms loops over the lower thread lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 15-C).

Fig. 15A

Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down, as the tension is released when it is raised. To increase the tension on the upper thread, turn dial (Fig. 14) to the right, or clockwise; to decrease, turn to the left. The higher the number on the dial the tighter the tension. Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the machine is threaded properly.

When it is necessary to change the bobbin tension, turn the small screw (Fig. 16) on side of the bobbin case clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.

To return feed to normal, press the button all the way down.

DARNING AND MENDING

When lighter pressure is required to sew satisfactorily on thin silk or flimsy material, the pressure cap should be about halfway down. Release all the way by pressing the snap lock, A, Fig. 19, and then press cap B down again to half-way spot.

Lower the feed slightly by pressing the DOWN button (Fig. 17) to the xed line.

GENERAL SEWING. Usually for straight sewing and various embroidery work, the pressure bar cap or darning release, Fig. 18, is at its lowest position and the feed at its highest level with the drop feed button marked UP pressed all the way down. Fig. 17.

P’REPARING TO SEW

Fig. 20A

Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-up lever and needle bar are at the highest position.

Now raise the presser foot and draw the fabric back and to the left, Fig. 20 A and B, and pass the threads over the thread cutter.

Pull down slightly, holding thread in both hands, so as not to bend the needle.

Leave the ends of thread un cler the presser foot.

REMOVING THE WORK

Fig. 20B

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. You are now ready to begin sewing.

By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary lo 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.

The edgestitcher is used in mak ing dainty lace insertions, edgings and piping.

The slots in the edgestitcher serve as guides in sewing together various pieces of material.

If you want to sew lace, lace and embroi dery, or lace and tucked strips togeth er, place the piece of material that will be on top in slot 1 (Fig. 28) and the lower fabric in slot 4. For instance, if you are sewing lace edg ing to a finished edge of fabric place the fabric in slot 1 and the lace in slot 4,(Fig. 29).

In order to attach the binder, edgestitcher and the hemmers, it is necessary to remove the presser foot and replace it with the attachment foot. (Fig. 27) Mount binder, edgestitcher or hemmers sliding the attachment to the left as far as possible and tighten screw.

The mounting slot enables you to sew as close to or as far away from the edge as desired. Just move the attachment to the correct position before tighten ing the mounting screw.

Be sure to draw the lace and material under the needle and back of the edgestitcher so that the feed will carry it backward as you stitch. Hold the fabric in the left hand and the lace in the right, being sure the fabric overlaps the lace slightly.

Rick Rack can be sewn to the edge of the material in the same manner.

To trim with wide piping place the fabric in slot 4, and the fold of the piping to the in slot 3, for a narrow piping place fabric in slot 2 and the folded edge of the piping to left the right in slot 3.

Most fabrics need to be guided only in frort of the presser foot as shown at left. Many filmy sheers, crepes, knits, tricots, etc., require support while being stitched.

Blind stitching the final step of a zipper insertion results in a fine finish that is almost invisible and comparable to hand sewing. Particulary suitable for chif[ons, sheers, velvets and all delicate fabrics where top stitching would be too harsh.

Allow a seam allowance. Start the insertion in the reqular way but omit final step.

Work from the right side of the garment and pin the front of the zipper tape into position.

Roll the work over finger to ease fabric and pin through all thicknesses. Baste about from seam line to provide guide for blind stitching. Remove pins.

Use blind stitch hemmer.

Turn garment inside out. Place zipper tape over feed of machine and turn back the front section of garmelit to line of basting, creating a soft fold. Position work so that the straight line of stitching is made through front seam allowance and zipper tape, and the sideward stitch pierces a fow threads of the fold. Lower presser bar and stich slowly. Remove bastings, Press.

On the base you will find two head hingas o which will fit into holes B. Lower the bas9 onto the sewing machine fitting hinges C into holes B. Tighten screws A securely with a screw driver.

After unpacking the sewing machine unit, being certain to take out the instruction book, guarantee and accessory box, lay the unit face down on a table. You will see two clamping screws A entering head hinge holes B on the underside of the back.

First, remove the nail which holds the foot control inside the base to avoid damage in shipping. If a small plastic clamp is fastened to the back and not to the top of the parti tion at one end of the base, remove it, too.

Place the foot control on the floor, insert plug into a wall outlet (110-115 volts) and you are ready to sew. But first read the in struction book to become familiar with the threading of the machine, tension adjustments and all the other features designed to make sewing a pleasure.

To make the electrical connection draw the two wires through the slot in the partition of the base. Plug the cord labeled “Motor” into the receptacle marked “Motor” on the block attached to the outer section of the base. Then insert the other cord into the “light” receptacle.

With machine in sowing position attach plastic clamp D to top of partition with screw provided so that it may be turned across the bed of the machine, to hold it down. (On some bases the clamp may be positioned in the proper spot).
