facilitate the opening of the shuttle door.
Grasp the bobbin case with the thumb and index C
finger so that the latch is depressed and draw out
the bobbin case. The bobbin will remain in the
case as long as the latch is depressed. When you
release the catch, the bobbin will be released.
Boboin winding
T"ke an empty bobbin from the accessory box.
On c,ne side of the bobbin there is a hole. Turn
th: bobbin with the hole outwards and slide the
ot-,bbin onto the bobbin spindle which is located on
the right side of the machine. place the thread over
the bobbin. Start from al.ove and wind the thread
a feu'times around the bobbin. Hold the end of the
thread rvhile you press down the foot control.

Correct and wrong thread tension
In order to easily understand the importance of I
correct thread tension, you can try different thread Wrong
o
tensions by sewing two thicknesses of a scrap of
cloth. Begin by using an excessively loose tension,
i.e, 1'ou turn the upper thread tension dial upwards
as far as it rvill go. Look at the cloth and you will
find the lower thread lies straight and the upper
Wrong
thread is drawn down into the lower side of the I E
cloth. If vou turn the dial downward, the opposite

cccurs. The upper thread lies straight and the lower
thread comes up in loops on the top of the cloth.
The thread tension is correct when the threads inter-
iock in the middle of the layers of cloth. Before 6
starting to sew, check the tension by sewing on a Correct o
piece of the same fabric you intend to work with.

Regular Bresser foot
Upper side Under side The piesser foot (383) which is fitted on the machine
at delivery is used for normal straight stitching, zig-
zag stitching and other utility stitches. As you can
see, it has different notches which can be used as
guides when sewing. If you wish to have a seam
allowance about Il4" (7 mm), let the material run
even with the outer edge of the presser foot' (Ap-
plies to straight stitching wiith the needle in the
middle position). By moving one step inwards, you
will have a seam allowance of about 5132" (4mm)'
The innermost notch gives a seam allowance of
aboat5f 64" (2 mm).
2
Edge guide
You can easily sew with wider seam allowances with
the aid of the edge guide (4015 420) vf,,hich you will
find in the accessory box. The edge guide is inserted
through the hole in the presser bar and is secured
to the bar by means of an attachment screw (41 11
399) which is found in the accessory box.

Changing the snap-on presser foot
The presser feet which accompany the machine
have the form of loose soles which are held in place
on the presser foot "ankle" by a spring. If you wish
to change the presser foot, turn the hand wheel to-
*ard r-ou until the needle is in the highest position.
Remove the presser foot by drawing it toward you
nhile pressing slightly downward. tt

Selecting the stitch
On the right side of the machine are the three
clials for selecting and adjusting the different types
of stitching.
I
l. Pattern scale
-{bove the three dials is a pattern scale which
helps 1'ou to choose the stitch you desire. The stitch r
s1'mbols correspond to the stitches on the various ffirEqEBB HmrE
seam formers. The colors show you how to set the
three dials. A, B and C produce utility stitches,
D. E and F decorative stitches.
2. Srirch selector
The upper left dial is the stitch selector by means
oi uhich -vou choose the stitch you desire in ac-
cordance u'ith the symbols marked on it.
5, Reverse sewing
In the center of the stitch length dial is a button
lor reverse sewing. By pressing this button in, the
machine will sew in reverse, and will resume normal
foru'ard sewing as soon as it is released. This is very
useful when, for example, backtacking at the end of
a seam.

Set the left-hand dial (the stitch
selector) to the zig-zag symbol. The
upper right dial, the stitch length
dial, is set to the desired length of
stitch. The lower dial, the stitch
width dial, should be set to the
desired width of stitch. Choose a suit-
able combination of stitch length and
stitch width. The stitch width and
length can be adjusted while the ma-
chine is running. You can set the
zig-zag regardless of which seam form-
er is in the machine.

_eir.es a more raised seam, thanks to the space be-
irind the needle-hole on the under side, and should
be used for all close pattern stitching and for close 595

loot (41 11 395) in the accessory box.
\\-hen it is in position, select the stitch you wish to -
se\\'. on the pattern scale.

Buttonholes
In order to sew buttonholes, .rzou should chan-se
( over to the buttonhole foot (4i 11650). You will
r, find it in the accessory box and it is attached in the
=
Upper Under * same way as the ordinary snap-on presser foot. The
side side buttonhole foot has graduated markings to help 1'ou
make the buttonholes the same length.
Loosen the upper thread tension by turning the
o a thread tension dial to the buttonhole symbol, if 1'ou
wish.
The buttonhole will look better, if you use a fine
thread.
@
Mark on the fabric where you want to place the
buttonhole.
Always first test sew a buttonhole and adjust the
o
stitch setting.
Begin as usual by making sure that the needle is
in the highest position. Set the stitch selector and
the stitch length dial to the buttonhole symbol.
34
Start sewing with the pulled-out stitch width dial
at 1. Note that the machine sews the first column
of zig-zag stitching in reverse, If the stitches are not
sufficiently close, reduce the stitch length slightly.
\\-hen you have sewn this column to the right length,
stop the machine with the needle raised out of the
cloth and turn the dialto2.
35
Fine adjustment of the buttonhole
sewing
The machine is adjusted to seu' buttonholes in ",
many as possible of the most usual fabrics. Hou'e',::.
certain combinations of fabric, needle and seuing
ii
thread might produce a difference in the appearan.3
of the two columns of zig-zag stitches. This can be
adjusted with the outer ring of the reverse seuir.:
button. Normally the ring should have such ? pr--r:r-
tion that the setting points are opposite each other.
i:
If the left column of zig-zag stitches looks closer
than the right column you can turn the ring sli-ehtlr
to the right.
:l
36
l
Buttonhole knife
The buttonhole knife (4015 399), which you will
find in the accessory box, is equipped with a safety
cap which, when taken off, can be pushed onto the
back of the knife and thus provides a good handle.
Helplul hint:
You can also cut the buttonhole to the middle and
then cut the same way from the other direction.
37
Reinforced buttonholes
Garments subject to heavy wear or buttons subjec:
to special strain ma)' sometimes require e\ eil
q stronger buttonholes and this is horv 1'ou make
F them:
Pull out the width dial on 0, turn it to 1 and se*
the first column in exactly the same s'a)' as for ar:
\ ordinary buttonhole but with slightl,v ionger stit;hes.
ii
When the second column is of the same length as the
first, stop sewing with the needle raised from the
fabric. Then continue by turning the width dial to
1 again and sewing the first column once more. If
d you should have difficulty with the feed, increase the
F; stitch length sliglrtly.
I: N-
38
When this is finished, set the dial to 2 and make
three or four closing bar stitches while holding back
the fabric or lowering the feed dog. Make sure that
the needle is raised when making the next setting of
the u,idth dial.
39
Sewing on buttons
For sewing on buttons, set the stitch seiector to lh;
a o symbol ( E ) for the left-l-rand starting po.i:;c':-
Lower the feed dog b1' pressing the drop feed push-
button inwards and dou.nu.ards so that the button :.
@ held in this position.
Remove the presser foot, put the button in place an;
lower the presser bar. Set the stitch u'idth dial tl:-
suitable setting about 3; most buttons hai e "
-
spacing of 118"-5132" (3-4 mm) betueen the
a
holes turn the hand wheel towards 1'ou and tes:
-
carefully that the needle goes through the center
of first one hole and then the other. Depress the
foot control without disturbing the position ol the
button. Hold both thread ends behind the bracket
and serv 5-6 stitches. Then mot,e to the other holes
@ and repeat the process. Set the stitch width dial
to 0 and lock the thread.
When the button has been sewn on and you rvish to
return to ordinary sewing, press the feed dog lou'er-
ing button inwards/upwards, so that it gets back to
its previous normal position.
Button reed
When serving buttons on garments, a "stem" is often
desirecl so that the button stands slightly away fronr
the fabric. You can use the button reed (41 11732i
for this. Use the thin end when ser.ving buttons on
thin fabrics, the thick end for heavier fabrics. N'Iark
the place where the button is to be sewn on and
place the garment under the bracket without lower-
ing the presser bar. Insert the button reed as shol'n
in the illustration, with the marking in the center
of the opening. Place the button on top and lower
the presser bar.
40
Raised seams
Erchange the ordinary needle for a twin needle and
be sure to see that it is pressed up high into the
needle clamp. Change to the raised seam presser
foot (41 11 389) and fit the raised seam attachment Upper side Under side
(10 15 421) with its straight edge toward you. If you
riish to use a gimp cord, lay this under the raised
seam attachment when you put it on. In order to
prevent the threads from becoming entangled, it is
advisabie to thread one at a time. P1ace a spool of
thread on each of the spool pins and thread on both
sides of the middle tension disc. For the rest you
tl.rread as usual, of course one thread in each of
?
tl.ie needies.
Then adjust the machine for straight stitching. The
height of the raised seam is adjusted by means of
rhe thread tension the harder the thread tension
-
the hi-eher the seam will be. If you are using a gimp
cord. first pul1 it out well behind the presser foot
and then it will only be necessary to see that it runs
i-reelr rrlrile you are sewing.

The glide plate, (41 11 866) fits the utility stitch
presser foot 41 11 383.
Peeloff the protective paper and press on the self-
adhering side of the glide plate against the under-
side of the presser foot.
The glide plate can be used when sewing in foam
plastic, plastic-coated fabric and leather imitations
to minimize the risk of these materials adhering to
the presser foot. For other friction surfaces you
could also use silicone spray, 41 12405.
42
Zipper foot
The zipper foot (41 12989) can be attached so that
it comes either to the right or to the left of the
needle. This makes it possible to sew on both sides
of the zipper without turning the work.
>
Darning foot
Set the needle to the highest position and then the
darning foot (41 12 897) can be attached in the same
\\a,v as the other snap-on-presser feet, i.e. the trans-
rerse pin is pressed into the attachment.
The action of the presser foot is accomplished by
means of a vibrator. Engage the vibrator by turning
rhe dial for the presser foot pressure (lower left,
page 18) to the symbol ( #
) . Don't forget to lower
the feed dog before you start darning.

Care of the machine
In order to serve you satisfactorily, your new sewing =t
machine requires cleaning. The throat plate (needle
plate) should occasionally be removed and the teeth
of the feed dog brushed clean by means of the
cleaning brush (40 15 555) which you'll find in the
box of accessories.
Rernove the throat plate by loosening the screws.
The left one is accessible if the upper handle part of
the screwdriver is inserted under the face plate.
