THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE STITCH. To increase the stitch length, turn stitch length dial clockwise to larger number on the dial. ‘To decrease the stitch length turn dial counter- clockwise to smaller number on‘the dial. NOTE: The ‘O' on the dial means that the material is not fed. REVERES STITCH To sew reverse, push reverse sewing button as far as it will go and keep it in this position until you wish to sew forward. When you release your finger from the button, it springs back for forward sewing. Reverse sewing is used for back tacking and reinforcement of the seam. 2ZIGZAG WIDTH The zigzag width is regulated by operating the zigzag width lever. Numerals above the lever represent the width of stitch. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE WIDER THE STITCH. The ‘O' means no width of zigzag, in other words, straight stitch. NOTE: 1.Do not move the lever while the needle is in the material.PRESSURE ADJUSTER Correct pressure on presser foot is important to obtain the smooth sewing. Pressure on presser foot requires to be regulated according to the type and thickness of the materials to be sewn. 1. To regulate the pressure, lower presser foot. 2. Push outer ring of pressure adjuster down, and iriner pin will spring up to its highest position. In this position, pressure is completely released from the presser foot. 3. To increase pressure, push inner pin down with your finger. NOTE: You will be able to select a correct combination by refering to under table. Concerning Feed Dog, see the next page. As well as the pressure adjuster, control for feed dog is necessary for correct sewing. 1."DARN" is used only for special sewing, such as Darning, Embroidering, etc. It means that the feed dog is completely dropped and no feeding. 2."NORM" is used for normal and general sewing. The height of feed dog is middle. 3."THICK” is used for thick and heavier materials sewing. The height of feed dog is the highest position and feed dog catches even thick or heavier materials. DARN own fo Mending = Normal use and Fa lighter material sense Bi ed nylon NORM MIDDLE MIDDLE ‘Thick and ( =e i heavier materials Tuick ur own -10-THREAD TENSIONS Correct tensions on both upper and lower threads are very important and should be equal so that both threads are drawn into the center of the work without loops on the top or bottom of the work. Make a few samples and examine whether your sample stitches are perfect before actual sewing starts. To regulate upper thread tension, merely turn thread tension dial with your thumb after lower- ing the presser foot. ‘THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE TIGHTER THE TENSION. To increase tension: Turn dial to right to larger number. To decrease tension: Turn dial to left to smaller number NOTE: When sewing the zigzag stitch, it requires less upper tension than straight stitch, Lower thread tension has been already adjusted for general use at the factory before shipment but when sewing extremely thin or heavy material, it requires to adjust the lower thread tension also. To regulate the lower thread tension, turn small screw on the tension spring of the bobbin case with the small screw driver. To increase tension: Turn the small screw clockwise very slightly. To decrease tension: Turn the screw counter- “clockwise very slightly. -11-PERFECT STITCHING INCORRECT STITCH (A) INCORRECT STITCH (B) The tension of the upper and lowér threads should be equal and just suf- ficiently strong to lock both threads in the center of the work Perfect stitch shows flat and no pucker- ing result on the material. The upper thread lies on the surface of the material by pulling the lower thread up as shown, This is caused by tight tension on the upper thread or loose tension on the lower thread. To correct this, turn the upper thread tension dial to a lower number. When perfect stitch cannot be obtained by only upper thread tension dial, adjust the bobbin’ tension accordingly. ‘The lower thread lies on the under sur- face of the material by pulling upper thread down as shown. This is caused by loose tension on the upper thread or tight tension on the lower thread. To correct this, turn the upper thread tension dial to a higher number. When perfect stitch cannot be obtained by only upper thread tension dial, adjust bobbin tension accordingly. NOTE: We recommend you to make test samples before actual sewing work.TO START SEWING 1. Raise needle to its highest position and lift presser foot. 2.Place material under the presser foot to position the needle about 10mm{(half inch) from the starting point. 3. Lower presser foot. 4, Start reverse sewing by pushing the reverse sewing button to the starting point for rein- forcement. Release the button and make forward stitching. NOTE: Do not pull the material. Let the machine do the work. Merely guide the material with your fingers. If you pull the material, your needle might either bend or break. TO CHANGE THE SEWING DIRECTION 1. Stop machine at the turning point while the needle is in the material. 2. Raise the presser foot and turn the material to the new direction while the needle acts as the axis. 3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing to the new direction. -13-TO FASTEN THE FINAL SEWING 1. Continue to stitch to the edge of the work and stop the machine. 2, Push the reverse sewing button and make backward stit- ches about 10mm(half inch) from the end of the stitch. TO REMOVE THE WORK 1. Stop the machine. : 2. Raise needle to its highest position and make sure that the thread take-up lever is in the highest position also. 3, Lift presser foot and pull out the material gently to the left side diagonally. 4, Cut both threads on the thread cutter. 5. Leave 10cm(4inches) of threads between toes of the presser foot to the rear while the thread take-up lever is at the highest position, and you are ready to sew again without any chance of thread running out of needle. TO GUIDE AND SUPPORT THE MATERIAL Generally it is enough to guide the material in front of the presser foot as shown in the upper figure. However, in case of special materials such as tricot, crepes, knits, etc., we recommend you to support the material both in front and back of the presser foot with gentle tension as shown in the lower figure. =ia~-15- SIMPLE ZIGZAG STITCH When you set the stitch length dial to 1-4, you can obtain “SIMPLE ZIGZAG STITCH”. 1, Before stitching zigzag, sew about 5 — 6 straight stitches with stitch length between 0 ~ 1 for reinforcement. 2, Set zigzag width lever to your desired width and commence to sew. 3. At final sewing, reset the zigzag width lever to “O" and sew about 5 — 6 straight stitches with stitch length between 0-1 for reinforcement. NOTE: Génerally, zigzag stitch requires less upper thread tension than the straight stitches. SATIN STITCH When the stitch length dial is set to between 0 ~ 1, the machine produces the zigzag stitch called “SATIN STITCH” which is used for making the buttonhole and various decorative stitches. NOTE: Position of the stitch length dial to get the SATIN STITCH is varied depending upon the size of threads and the material being used, so we suggest you to make a test sample first and determine the best position between 0 ~ 1,DECORATIVE STITCHES SET YOUR SEWING MACHINE AS PER FOLLOWING TABLE. Using the "Satin Stitch’, you can obtain various decorative stitches by simple operation of zigzag width lever as following instruction for each stitch.
