TO START SEWING

Important hints:

1. Raise the take-up lever to its highest position before starting and after stopping sewing.

2. Hold both threads about 10 cms to the rear of the machine for the first two or three stitches.

3. Sufficient fabric should be placed under needle before lowering the presser foot.

4. Depress foot/speed control and start to sew.

5. Test the machine stitches on a scrap of fabric you plan to use, adjusting the machine for the length of the stitch and tension suitable to your fabric.

6. Separate the machine from the power system if you leave it unsupervised.

Attention:

1. When turning the balance wheel manually, always turn it toward you.

2. Guide the cloth gently with your hand.

3. To prevent breaking needles, always raise the needle out of the fabric when you stop sewing.

HOW TO FINISH STITCHES

Thread cutter

1. Sew to the edge of seam.

2. Push the reverse button and sew in reverse for about 3-4 cms.

3. Raise needle to its highest position.

4. Lift the presser foot and pull the fabric out of the back of the machine.

5. Cut threads as shown on the thread cutter

21

STRAIGHT STITCH

1. This type of stitching is used most frequently.

2. The zigzag presser foot can be used for both straight and zigzag sewing.

3. To sewing thinner cloth may use smaller stitch length.

ZIGZAG SEWING

Pattern selector position

Satin stitching can be used for sewing initials, patterns, appliqué, etc.

The zigzag stitch is a universal stitch. The satin stitch pattern has short tense stitches which can be used for sewing.

AUTOMATIC EMBROIDERY

These stitches have a wide range of decorative and utility applications and are particularly suitable for woven fabrics.

The Scallop stitch ( L ) is ideal for edging collars, cuffs, tablecloths, serviettes etc. For all the stitches, the stitch length can be reduced to achieve a close “satin stitch” if required.

With satin stitch a paper backing, will improve the result.

22

OVERCASTING

Use these stitches for oversewing rough edges.

BINDING

FREIHANDSTICKEN

To sew fabrics edge select the multi-zigzag stitch.

(Use Darning plate see page 18)

Remove the presser foot and attach the darning plate.

Lower feed dog and move the hooped fabric slowly in the desired direction until the fabric has been embroidered.

23

BUTTON SEWING

Utilize the button presser foot. (Optional)

(Use Darning plate see page 18)

Match

1. Place the darning plate properly.

2. Place button presser foot in position and attach it firmly.

3. Place the button between presser foot and fabric and lower the presser foot.

4. Manually turn hand wheel towards you, ensuring that the needle enters into both holes of button without obstruction. (Increase or decrease width setting).

5. Sew about 7 stitches.

6. Pull both threads to the underside and tie them together.

BLIND STICH

1. Fold fabric as shown. 2. Finish the seam as shown

24

(A)

(B)

25

Adjust the width to obtain the correct seam.

Wrong: Needle is not piercing edge to fold at all.

Needle pierces the edge of fold too much.

Correct seam.

HEMMING (Optional)

3 mm

1 mm

20 mm

1. Raise the foot and the needle to its highest position. Replace the foot with the picot foot.

2. Fold over the fabric edge by about 3 mm and place it under the foot. Secure the folded edge with a few stitches. Slide the hem of your project into the picot foot by pulling the threads.

3. Lower the foot and sew the hem.

4. While sewing fold the fabric to the left a little and guide it into the hemmer foot.

5. Make sure that the fabric does not move under the right half of the foot. The fabric must be fed into the scroll of the hemmer sufficiently so that the project edge runs freely through the groove under the foot.

Only suitable materials can be used and some practice may be necessary to achieve the best results.

QUILTER (Optional)

1. Slide the arm through the hole on top of the presser foot holder.

2. Move the quilter to the required stitch distance.

3. Sew one line to test the machine stitches, then adjust the quilter position you wish to use.

26

ZIPPER SEWING

Utilize the zipper foot.

Select straight stitch.

1. Zipper foot is designed to sew close to a raised edge, thus preventing sewing on zipper.

2. Place zipper foot in position and attach firmly.

3. Fold the fabric about 2 cm and place the fabric under foot.

1. To sew the left side of the zipper, set the zipper on the right side of the needle.

2. To sew the right side of the zipper, set it on the left side of the needle.

Sew as illustrated.
