CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE

Caution: Always make sure that the machine is unplugged from power source and the main switch is on "O" when the machine is not in use and before inserting or removing parts.

ON

OFF

Connecting the machine

Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the machine is conforming with your electrical power.

Place machine on a stable surface.

1. Connect the power line cord to the machine by inserting the 2-hole plug into the power cord socket.

2. Connect the power line plug to the electric outlet.

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. The sewing lamp will light up when the switch is turned on.

To disconnect, turn the power switch to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.

Polarized plug information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other), to reduce the risk of electrical shock; this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

1 Place the thread and spool holder onto the spool pin.

For larger spools of thread, place the large side of the spool holder toward the spool. For smaller spools of thread, place the small side of the spool holder toward the spool, or use the small spool holder. If the thread spool has a thread retaining slit, place this end of the spool toward the right, so the thread doesn't get caught while winding the bobbin.

2 Snap the thread into the thread guide.

2

3 Wind the thread counter-clockwise around the bobbin winder tension disks.

Please Note: It is important to carry out the threading correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.

Start by raising the needle to its highest point, and also raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.

1 1 Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so that the thread comes from the front of the spool, then place the spool cap at the end of the spool pin.

2 2 Draw the thread from the spool through the upper thread guide.

3 3 Pull both threads to the back under the presser foot.

3

CUTTING THE THREAD

Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the left side of the face cover and cut using the thread cutter.

The threads are cut at the proper length to start the next seam.

16

TWO-STEP PRESSER FOOT LIFTER

The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot.

When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy positioning of the work.

17

STARTING SEWING

Start/stop button

The Start/Stop button can be used to run the machine when the foot controller is unplugged from the machine. Press the button to start sewing, then press it again to stop sewing. The machine will run slowly at the start of sewing.

The speed limiting adjustment lever can control the sewing speed. To increase the sewing speed, slide the lever to the right, To decrease the sewing speed, slide the lever to the left.

Foot control

With the sewing machine turned off, insert the foot control plug into its connector on the sewing machine.

Turn on the sewing machine, and then slowly depress the foot control to start sewing.

Release the foot control to stop the sewing machine.

Please Note: The setting of the speed limiting adjustment lever will limit the maximum speed of the machine.

18

THREAD TENSION

- Basic thread tension setting is "4". To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To decrease the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

- Proper setting of tension is important for good sewing. There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics. However, 90% of all sewing will be between the "3" and "5" ("4" is the basic setting).

- For decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is "7.0"; however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The width increases as you press the " + " of stitch width adjustment button from "0.0-7.0".

Adjusting the stitch length

The density of zigzag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length approaches "0.3".

Neat zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "1.0-2.5".

Closed up zigzag stitches (close together) are referred to as a satin stitch.

STRETCH STITCHES

Stretch stitches

Straight stitch

Stretch stitches are strong and flexible and will give with the fabric without breaking. Good for easy to ravel and knit fabrics. It is good for joining durable fabric such as denims.

These stitches can also be used as a decorative top stitch.

Straight stretch stitch is used to add triple reinforcement to stretch and hardwearing seams.

Gathered fabric

Remove the presser foot holder and attach the gathering foot.

Place fabric to be gathered under the presser foot.

Sew a row of stitching.

The stitches will automatically cause the fabric to gather.

Adjust the upper thread tension dial to achieve the amount of fullness desired. Less tension will result in softer gathers, more tension will result in fuller gathers.

The stitch length dial can also be used to adjust fullness. The longer the stitch length setting is, the more fullness that is achieved in the gathers.

Gather and attach fabric in one step

Look closely at the gathering foot to see a slot on the bottom.

When using the slot, you can gather the bottom layer of the fabric while attaching it to a flat top layer, such as the waistband on a dress bodice.

- Remove the presser foot holder and attach gathering foot.

- Place the fabric to be gathered with right side up under the foot.

- Place top layer of the fabric right side down in the slot.

- Guide the two layers as illustrated.

Note: W h e n t e s t i n g m a c h i n e f o r adjustments to achieve desired fullness, work with 10" increments of the fabric, trims or elastic. This makes it easier to determine the adjustments and how much change is needed for your project. Always test on your project fabric and on the same grainline as will be used in your finished project.

Note: Sew slow to medium speed for better fabric control.

Darning

Please Note: Free motion darning is accomplished without the sewing machine internal feed system. Movement of the fabric is controlled by the operator, best by using an embroidery hoop (not included). It is necessary to coordinate sewing speed and movement of fabric.

First sew around the edges of the hole to secure the threads. Stitch across the opening moving the hoop backward and forward under the needle. Overlap the outline stitching at each end of the area, keeping the lines of stitching closely spaced and even in length. When the opening is filled, turn the work and cover the area with crosswise lines of stitching.

WALKING FOOT

* The Walking foot is an optional accessory.

Please Note: Always try to sew first without the walking foot accessory which should be used only when necessary.

It is easier to guide the fabric and you have a better view of the seam when using the standard, regular foot on your machine. Your sewing machine offers excellent stitch quality on a wide range of fabrics from delicate chiffons to multiple layers of denim.

The Walking foot attachment equalizes the feeding of the fabric layers. It improves the matching of plaids, stripes and patterns. It also helps to prevent uneven feeding of difficult or napped fabrics, such as velvet or corduroy.

1

1 Lift the presser foot lifter to raise the presser foot bar.

3 Attach the Walking foot to the machine as follows:

- The arm (a) should fit into above the needle screw and clamp (b).

- Slide the attaching head (c) from left to right, so that it is fitted onto the presser foot bar.

- Lower the presser foot bar.

- Replace and tighten (clockwise) the presser bar attaching screw.

- Make sure both the needle screw and the presser bar attaching screw are tightly secured.
