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 result .
- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and continue turning the handwheel counterclockwise until the needle just slightly begins to descend. Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
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 holder with the thread coming off the spool as shown. For small thread spools, place small side of spool holder next to spool. (2)
- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide (3) and pulling thread through pre-tension spring as illustrated. (4)
- Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel and up left channel. (5) During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread guide.
- 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. (6)
- Now pass thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (7) 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. Trim thread to length with built in thread cutter. (8)
Note:
If your sewing machine is equipped with the factory installed optional automatic needle threader, instructions for use can be found on page 14.

Thread tension
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: "4" (1)
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.
Correct thread tension is when a small amount of the upper thread appears on the bottom side of fabric.
Lower thread tension
(2)
To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and bobbin and hold it by suspending it by the thread. Jerk it once or twice. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two. If the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all.
If the tension is too loose, it will drop too much. To adjust, turn the small screw on the side of the bobbin case.
Please note:
- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch functions, thread or 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".
- 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.

Raising the bobbin thread
Hold the upper thread with the left hand. Turn the handwheel (1) towards you (counterclockwise) lowering, then raising needle.
Note:
If it is difficult to raise the bobbin thread, check to make sure the thread is not trapped by the hinged cover or the sewing table.
Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate hole. (2)
Lay both threads to the back under the presser foot. (3)

Stitch width dial & stitch length dial
Function of stitch width dial
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is 5mm; however, the width can be reduced on any patterns. The width increases as you move stitch width dial from "0" - "5". (1)
The Stitch width dial is also the control for the straight stitch infinite needle position. "0" position is center and "5" is full left needle position
Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching
Set the pattern selector dial to zig-zag.
The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches "0".
Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below. (2)
Function of stitch length dial for straight stitching
For straight stitch sewing, turn the pattern selector dial to the straight stitch setting. Turn the stitch length dial, and the length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial approaches
"0". The length of the individual stitches will increase as the dial approaches "4". (3) Generally speaking, use a longer stitch length when sewing heavier weight fabrics or when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a finer needle or thread.

Sew 1-step buttonholes
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 stabilizer.
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
" ".
Set stitch length dial to " ". Set the stitch width at "5". The width however may need to be adjusted according to the project, Sew a test first to determine this.
3. Lower the presser foot aligning the marks on foot with the marks on the fabric (1). (The front bar tack will be sewn first.)
(Align the mark on the fabric (a) with the mark on the foot (b).)
4. Open the button plate and insert the button (2).
5. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently push it back (3).
6. While lightly holding the upper thread, start the machine.
7. Buttonhole stitching is done in the order (4).
8. Stop the machine when the buttonhole cycle has completed.
Making a Buttonhole on Stretch Fabrics (5)
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 " ". Set stitch length dial to " ".
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.

The walking foot accessory (optional)
* The walking foot accessory is optional. It is not included with this machine.
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" accessory equalizes the feeding of the upper and lower layers of fabric and improves the matching of plaids, stripes and patterns. This foot helps to prevent uneven feeding of very difficult fabrics.
1.Lift the presser foot bar.
2.Remove the "foot holder" by opening counter clockwise the presser bar attaching screw. (3)
3.Attach the "walking foot" to the machine in the following way.
i) The fork arm should fit into the needle screw and clamp. (2) ii) Slide the plastic "attaching head" from your left to right so that it is fitted into the "presser foot bar".
iii) Lower the "presser foot bar".
iv) Replace and tighten clockwise the "presser bar attaching screw".
4.Make sure both the "needle screw" and the "presser bar attaching screw" are tightly secured.
5.Draw the bobbin thread up and place both the bobbin thread and the needle thread behind the walking foot attachment.
