particular readjustment according to the type of fabric (light-or-heavy weight).
However, if you need to adjust the presser foot pressure, turn the presser
adjusting screw with a coin.
For sewing very thin fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter
clockwise, and for heavy fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.

[ 1 Threading the upper thread
This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out
correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could OS |
result. | | 35
- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and |
also raise the presser foot to release the tension discs. (2) 4
Note: For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the
power before threading.
- Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the 4 3
holder with the thread coming off the spool as shown. For
small thread spools, place small side of spool holder next oT |
to spool.(3) ZA dl OMT AA
- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide. =
(4)
- Guide thread around thread guide (5) pulling thread
through pre-tension spring as illustrated.
- Thread tension module by leading thread down right
channel and up left channel (6). During this process it is
helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread
guide (4). | |
- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left
through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then
downwards again. (7)
- Pass thread behind the flat, horizontal thread guide. (8)
- Now take thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide
and then down to the needle which should be threaded
from front to back. Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the
rear beyond the needle eye. (9)
Note:
If your sewing machine is equipped with the factory
installed optional automatic needle threader,
instructions for use can be found on page 14.

[| Automatic needle threader
- Raise the needle to its highest position
- Press lever (A) right down
- The threader automatically swings to the threading position
(B)
- Take the thread round the hook (C)
- Take the thread in front of the needie round the hook (D) from
bottom to top
- Release lever (A)
—- Pull the thread through the needle eye.

[| Thread tension
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: "AUTO"
To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.
To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.
A. Normal thread tension for straight stitch sewing.
B. Thread tension too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn
dial to higher number.
C. Thread tension too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial
to lower number.
D. Normal thread tension for zig zag and decorative sewing.
Please note:
Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch
functions, thread on fabric.
A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom)
IS usually only desirable for straight stitch construction
sewing.
90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5" ("AUTO" is
basic setting).
For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread
tension should generally be less than for straight stitch
sewing.
For all 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.

_] How to sew buttonholes (one-step buttonhole)
Buttonhole sewing is a simple process that provides reliable -
results. However, it is strongly suggested to always make a
practice buttonhole on a sample of your fabric and interfacing.
Making a Buttonhole |
1. Using tailor's chalk, mark the position of the buttonhole on
the fabric.
2. Attach the buttonhole foot and set the pattern selector dial
to " ii ". Set stitch length dial to "wn". Adjust stitch width to
desired width.
3. Lower the presser foot aligning the marks on foot with the
marks on the fabric (A). (The front bar tack will be sewn first.)
(Align the mark on the fabric (a) with the mark on the foot (b).)
. Open the button plate and insert the button (B).
. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently push it back (C).
. While lightly holding the upper thread, start the machine.
. Buttonhole stitching is done in the order (D).
. Stop the machine when the buttonhole is sewn.
Making a Buttonhole on Stretch Fabrics (E)
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy thread
or cord under the buttonhole foot. When the buttonhole is
sewn the legs will overcast the cord.
1. Mark the position of the buttonhole on the fabric with the
tailor's chalk, attach the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern
selector dial to " ii ". Set stitch length dial to "wi".
2. Hook the heavy thread onto the back end of the buttonhole
foot, then bring the two heavy thread ends to the front of the
foot, insert them into the grooves and temporarily tie them
there.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
*Set the stitch width to match the diameter of the gimp
thread.
4. Once sewing is completed, gently pull the heavy thread to
remove any slack, then trim off the excess.

-] Left and right side balance for buttonhole
Stitch density on right and left sides of buttonhole can
be adjusted by buttonhole balance control dial.
This dial should usually be in a neutral position
(between "+" and "-").
If the stitches on the left side of buttonhole are too
close together, turn the dial to the left (+).
* Turning dial to the left opens left side.
If the stitches on the left side of the buttonhole are too
open, turn the dial to the right (-).
