ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE OF THE

PRESSER FOOT

Push down

outer ring of presser foot pressure

regulator (See illustration),

This will release pressure of presser foot.

To increase pressure, push down inner pin until suitable pressure is obtained.

For ordinary sewing, the inner pin should be all the way down.

Insufficient pressure may cause poor feeding of the

fabric, skipped stitches, or difficulty

in guiding

the fabric.

When sewing

multiple

thickness or heavy fabric

reduce the pressure. Increase pressure when sewing lighter

weight fabrics.

If feed

dog or presser foot marks appear on the fabric, reduce the pressure.

STITCH LENGTH CONTROL

The stitch length contrql regulates the length of the stitch you select.

THE

HIGHER THE NUMBER

-- THE SHORTER

THE STITCH,

The stitch setting you use will be determined by the thickness of the fabric you are sewing, The longer stitch setting should be used for thicker fabric or more layers of fabric. The middle range of the control is the 10-12 stitch per inch range which is the most commonly used,

The basting and stretch stitch are made by adjusting the lever to make the longest possible stitch.

When adjusting for shorter stitches, select the stitch

length and tighten the knob in the center of the lever handle to remain at the

same setting. The knob must be loosened to readjust the lever.

REVERSE STITCHING AND FASTENING A SEAM

tt is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in reverse, Simply raise the Stitch Length Lever to R to sew in reverse. The fabric will start feeding backwards and the seam will be firmly fastened, Lower the lever to again stitch forward, This fastening of the seam is done both at the start and finish of a seam.

NOTE: Never adjust more than one number at a time.

When

stitching

is

unsatisfactory as

in figures 2 and 3, adjust the

upper thread tension.

Lower

thread tension

requires adjustment less frequently than the upper thread tension.

When stitch is satisfactory, as in figure 1

and seam is badly puckered,

the cause may

be tight tensions and both upper and lower may be adjusted.

(See page 28)

When

adjusting the tension on the bobbin case, make slight adjustments with a screwdriver.

INSERTING AND REMOVING THE MATERIAL

For all kinds of sewing, consult chart page 7.

Before placing the

material on the

machine see that:

• The presser foot

and needle clamp screws are both tight.

The sizes of needle and thread suit the kind of work to be done.

The needle and the thread take-up lever are at

their highest position.

a The ends of threads have been drawn about 4 inches to the rear of the machine.

• The feed dogs

are up.

• Stitch length and width controls are set at desired

settings.

Experiment by sewing on the fabric to be used to

determine tension adjustments and correct stitch settings.

Place material under the presser foot,

insert

the

needle into the material by turning the hand wheel

toward you, lower presser foot and start sewing.

To facilitate placement

of heavy fabrics under the presser foot, the presser foot lever can be raised

beyond the normal "up"

position.

To remove the work, first turn the hand wheel toward

you

until the needle is at its highest

position, then raise the presser foot,

draw material

to the rear and cut ° off

excess thread with the thread cutter located on the presser bar.

IMPORTANT:Always

turn the hand wheel toward

you ! When the machine is not being used, place a piece of material over the feed dog and lower the presser foot.

Always have fabric under the presser foot when operating the machine.

Operating

threaded machine without fabric will cause it to jam by forcing _int into the shuttle.

TURNING A CORNER

Stop your sewing machine and make sure needle is in fabric.

Raise presser foot.

Turn fabric to desired direction.

Lower

presser foot and go on with your stitching.

CHANGING THE PRESSER FEET

The various presser feet available for certain kinds of work are to be fastened to the presser bar.

To attach the foot, raise the presser bar to its highest position

by raising the presser foot lever,

Loosen the presser foot

screw, choose the proper foot, insert

frorfi the front. Tighten

the screw using the large screwdriver

and make sure that the

foot is secure.

STITCH WIDTH CONTROL

Stitch Width Control regulates the width of the stitch you select.

THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE WIDER THE

STITCH.

You may vary your zigzag stitch width by adjusting this control to the setting you desire.

Straight stitching is possible only with the control at the red dot.

In case fo Model 1220, this dial also has special setting in red

for sewing stretch stitch.

You may vary the width of the zigzag stitch by adjusting the dial from 1 to 5 in black for

regular stitching and from 1 to _ in red for Rick-Rack

stretch stitching.

Regular straight stitching is possible only with the control at

the red dot and straight stretch stitching at the _ mark.

Before turning the dial, make sure needle is above fabric_

Fig.

OVERCASTING

This is one of the more frequently used zigzag stitches

in garment construction.

You may want

to overcast along the raw edge of each seam

allowance or fold

the raw edge toward the garment and stitch.

Fig. 1 shows the raw edge finished.

Fig. 2 illustrates the folded edge stitched.

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric just short of the outside edge. Raw

or worn edges of older garments can be overcast to prevent further

raveling.

Setting:

Special Stitch Control -,,

Stitch Length Control -- All the way

down

Use this specia! stretch stitch with knitted

fabrics and other fabrics that stretch.

Sew as

you

do a regular straight stitch seam.

The

machine will make triple lock stitches back and

forth of a fixed stitch length, to give the stretch to the seam. See illustration.

This stitch enables you to press

open your seam as with any straight stitched seam. The seam will stretch with the fabric without breaking the thread.

This is also a good stitch to use on curved seams that will receive a great deal of strain when worn, such as in children's shorts and slacks as well as adult sport clothes.

ADJUSTING YOUR SEWING MACHINE FOR GOOD STITCHES

When your sewing machine does not sew a properly locked stitch, check the following:

1.

Insert a new needle of the correct size for the thread and fabric you are using.

Consult chart on page 7 for needle size.

2.

The upper and bobbin thread should be the same thread.

3.

Check threading carefully.

See page 10-11.

4.

Check the thread tension balance.

Use mercerized thread and a correct size needle for the fabric you are using. Do not try test with synthetic thread as it will not break. Begin with a full bobbin, properly threaded into the case. Set stitch length at about 12 stitches per inch. Fold a 6 inch square of your fabric in half diagonally, forming

a triangle. Make a line of stitching _"

from fold.

a. If seam is puckered -- both tensions are too tight.

b. If bottom thread is looped -- tighten upper thread tension, and repeat test.

c. If top thread lays in top of fabric-loosen upper thread tension, and repeat test.

Grasp the stitching and pull evenly and firmly until one or both threads break.

a. If both threads break -- tensions are balanced.

b. If neither thread breakboth tensions are too loose.

c. If upper thread breaks-- loosen

upper tension.

d. if lower thread breakstighten upper tension.

Both threads do not have to break at the same place, but they should break on the same snap.

bobbin tensions may also be reset by this procedure.

Start with a loose bobbin thread tension. Tighten the spring screw gradually until bobbin case and full bobbin can be gently lifted from your hand by the end of the bobbin thread.
