THE 2-IN-1 OPEN ARM
SE\NING SURFACE
Your open arm sewing machine is designed with an exclusive 2-in-1 sewing surface.
For all regular sewing, it's a flat bed machine. Then by simply removing the extension table, it becomes an open arm machine, to simplify sewing on any hard to reach area.
To remove the extension table, lift the left side of the case up and away. To attach, set the extension table studs into the holes of the mc;ichine base and press down. The drawer in the extension table is for storing the accessories.
Here are some of the many uses for your open arm sewing machine:
• Mending and repairing pantlegs
• Darning socks
• Blind hem stitching cuffs
• Button and buttonhole sewing on sleeves
• Embroidery on cuffs and sleeves
All of the features of flat bed sewing are now available to you on an open arm machine allowing you more versatility than ever before.

SELECTING NEEDLE
&
THREAD
..
I
-
I
6
Best results can be obtained only when you use the correct needle and thread for the fabric being sewn. Lightweight fabrics require a thin needle and fine thread; heavier fabrics, a thicker needle and coarser thread . Too thick of needle can cause skipped stitches on delicate fabrics ; too thin of needle may bend or break on heavy fabrics . Never use a needle that is bent, or blunt at the point.
There should be a similarity between the fiber of the fabric and the fiber of the thread . This is important because the thread should react as the fabric does to repeated dry cleanings or washings, bleaches, and a hot iron .
The knit needle (with blue shank) is designed especially for sewing synthetic woven stretch and knit fabrics, as well as lingerie, elastic and other lightweight fabric that is usually difficult to sew.
It is designed with a ball point that enables the needle to penetrate the fabric without cutting the f i bers and with a deep long groove which protects the thread from interference by knits that hug the needle.
Correct needle length is 11 '1».

SETTING
LENGTH OF STITCH
Your sewing mach i ne can make from six to thirty stitches per i nch . As a rule, firm, closely woven fabric takes a shorter stitch . Loosely woven fabrics sew best with a longer stitch . Very thick , bulky fabrics, whether firm or loosely woven, require a longer stitch.

STRETCH STITCH SE\NING
Over 55% of all fabrics sold today are synthetics. Stretch fabrics are used for many things . But without the stretch stitch it would be impossible to sew these stretch fabrics. That's what's so nice about Model 1903 with its built-in stretch stitches . It assures you of a stitch that will give with the fabric .

BUTTONHOLE SE\NING
A buttonhole consists of two parallel rows of satin stitches connected at the ends . Correct positioning of the fabric and accurate measuring and marking of the hole length are important in producing a profess i onal-looking buttonhole . Fabr i c must be guided carefully so that lines of stitching will be straight and close together. but not touching .
First work a sample buttonhole in the same fabric as the garment and adjust the stitch length within
" 11·:::: : :::: " " mark to make sure that you have the most suitable setting . Use a double th i ckness of fabric , and include interfacing for stability . The closer

However, each pattern requires different handling which can be achieved by test and practice.
Basic steps in free-motion machine embroidering are:

cleanin.g the stitching mechanism
If lint and bits of thread accumulate under the needle plate, around the fabric feed dogs, and in the shuttle, this will interfere with the operation of the machine. Check occasionally and clean the stitching mechanism when necessary.
motor belt
The motor belt may stretch from use . It should be tight enough to tum the hand wheel without slipping, but not so tight as to cause the machine to run heavily . Belt should run in a straight line from motor pulley to hand wheel.
sewing light bulb
The sewing light is controlled by the light switch which is located on the light socket.
To replace the bulb, open face plate and unscrew bulb from socket.
