Operating the Machine

Connecting the Machine

- Before plugging in your machine, be sure the electrical information on the side of the machine A, below the hand wheel, agrees with the range marked on your electrical meter.

IMPORTANT — Machines for Great Britain and some other countries having similar wiring standards are shipped from the factory without a plug for connection to the mains.

The wires in the main lead are coloured according to code.

Blue: Neutral (N)

Brown: Live (L)

As the colours of the wires in the main lead of this appliance may not always correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3 amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of plug is used, a 5 amp fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.

• To turn on the machine, connect plug B to machine and plug C to your socket outlet.
  • To turn on the sewing light, press or turn switch D as required. See illustration.
  • To run the machine and control speed, press the speed controller E with your foot. The harder you press, the faster the machine will sew.

CAUTION: Disconnect the power line plug from the socket outlet when changing needles, feet or needle plates or when leaving the machine unattended. This eliminates the possibility of starting the machine by accidentally pressing the speed controller. Because of the up and down movement of the needle, you must work carefully and watch the sewing area when operating the machine.

4. Close hook cover or slide plate. Be sure thread does not get caught when hook cover is closed.

Adjusting Bobbin-Thread Tension

The bobbin-thread tension has been set at the factory for most types of stitching. You may wish to adjust the bobbin-thread tension when straight stitching on fine fabrics or to balance an open zig-zag stitch. Bobbin and needle threads lock at the corner of each stitch when a zig-zag stitch is balanced. To adjust the bobbin-thread tension, follow the procedure below using two layers of scrap fabric.

• Raise the presser foot.
• Raise needle to highest position by turning the hand wheel toward you.
• Open hook cover or slide plate and remove the bobbin case as instructed on page 14.
• Slowly turn screw D to the left or right, using the small screwdriver in your accessory box, until desired stitch appearance is reached.
• When stitching is completed, turn screw D to the right or left back to original position, for all other sewing.

Threading the Machine Preparation • Place spool of thread on spool pin, with thread retaining slit A on top. • Raise the take-up lever to highest position by turning the hand wheel toward you. • Raise the presser foot, to release thread tension. 1. Lead thread around disc of rear thread guide B. 2. Pass thread over guide pin C. 3. Next bring thread down channel and firmly around thread guard D, from left to right. 4. Thread take-up lever by guiding thread to back of lever E and around to your right. Bring thread through slit F by pulling it toward you and into eyelet of lever E. 5. Follow thread back down through channel, passing thread through guides F and G. • Drawing 10 cm (4 inches) of thread down toward needle, lower presser foot and thread needle front to back.

Adjusting Machine Stitch to Suit your Fabric

Before you move the selectors to set your machine for straight stitching, turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is above the needle plate.

Setting Selectors

• Pattern Selector: 1
• Stitch Width: 0
  • Stitch Length: 1.5-4 to suit fabric

A. Stitch Pattern Selector

The numbered stitch patterns on the panel correspond to the numbers around the stitch pattern selector.

To select a pattern, simply turn the selector until the desired stitch pattern number is aligned with the indicating line.

B. Stitch Width Selector

The stitch width selector must be pointed to 0 for straight stitching.

C. Adjusting Stitch Length

The stitch length selector controls the length of stitches. The numbers above the selector express stitch length in mm; the lower the number, the shorter the stitch.

Generally, shorter stitches are best for lightweight fabric, longer stitches for heavy fabric. The area from 0 to 1 should be used for adjusting zig-zag satin stitches.

Setting the Selector

• Turn selector so that stitch length selector is pointed to desired number.
• To shorten stitch length, turn selector toward a lower number.
• To lengthen stitch length, turn selector toward a higher number.

Reverse Lever

For reverse stitching, depress reverse lever located to the right of the stitch pattern selector, hold down until reverse stitching is completed. Once lever is released, the machine will sew in forward direction.

Note: Reverse stitching cannot be done when using a stretch stitch pattern.

Needle-Thread Tension

Correct tension is important because too much or too little will weaken your seams or cause your fabric to pucker. Make a test sample with the fabric and the thread you plan to use and examine it. A well balanced stitch, as shown in illustration A, will have the needle and bobbin threads locked between the two layers of fabric with no loops on top or bottom and no pucker. The tension dial regulates the degree of tension on your needle thread. Set it according to the type of thread and fabric you use. The numbers on the dial eliminate guesswork.

If the fabric puckers B, decrease tension. If the stitches in your test sample look loose C, increase needle-thread tension.

• To decrease tension, turn dial to lower number.
  • To increase tension, turn dial to higher number.

Bobbin-Thread Tension

For information on adjusting bob-bin-thread tension, refer to page 15.

Technical diagram showing four steps of sewing machine stitching process with numbered instructions

Sewing a Seam

• Pattern Selector: 1

• Stitch Width: 0
  • Stitch Length: To suit fabric
  • General Purpose Needle Plate
  • General Purpose Foot

• Raise presser foot. Pull thread back under presser foot leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of thread.

• Position needle approximately 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) from fabric edge. Then lower presser foot and backstitch almost to the edge of the fabric for reinforcement by stitching in reverse direction. For additional information on reverse stitching refer to page 19. Stitch forward to end of seam and stop machine before the end of stitching line. (Do not sew beyond edge of fabric).

CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you are stitching as this may deflect the needle causing it to break.

1. Raise needle by turning hand wheel toward you. Press reverse stitch push lever, and back stitch 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) to reinforce end of stitching.

2. Raise needle by turning hand wheel toward you. Raise foot and remove fabric by drawing it to the back and to the left. Cut threads on thread cutter at rear of presser bar.

Keeping the Seam Straight

For extra help in keeping the seam straight, you may wish to use the seam guide. Because it allows you to guide stitches evenly between 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) and 3.2 cm (1-1/4 inches) from the fabric edge, it is particularly useful for very narrow or very wide seams.

CAUTION: Because of the up and down movement of the needle, you must work carefully and watch the sewing area when operating the machine.

Applications

Zipper Insertion

How the zipper is inserted will depend on the type of garment and the location of the zipper. With the adjustable zipper foot, you will find it easy to sew an even line of stitching close to the zipper.

The zipper foot can be used either to the left or right of the needle, depending on where the bulk of the garment is placed.

Adjusting the Zipper Foot

• Set machine for straight stitching.
• Attach the zipper foot as instructed on page 5.

When the zipper is to the right of the needle:

• Loosen the thumb screw at the back of the foot, and slide the foot to the left of the needle.
• Check the position of the foot by turning the hand wheel to lower the needle into the side notch of the foot, making sure it clears the foot.
• Lock the foot into position by tightening the thumb screw.
• Lower presser bar. Make sure the needle clears the foot on all sides of the notch.

When the zipper is to the left of the needle, adjust the foot to the right of the needle in the same way.

Darning

• Pattern Selector: 1
• Stitch Length: 0
• General Purpose Needle Plate
  • General Purpose Foot

• Snap-in Feed Cover

• Attach snap-in feed cover over feed as instructed on page 6.

• Select straight stitch. If area to be darned is open, baste an underlay in place.
• Place area to be darned under presser foot; lower presser foot and start stitching, alternately drawing fabric toward you and pulling gently away from you.
• Continue this forward and backward motion as you fill the area with parallel lines of stitching. For additional strength, cover area with crosswise lines of stitching.

Quilting

Quilting is the art of stitching two or more thicknesses of fabric together in a planned design. A padding is stitched to the underside of the fabric to produce a soft, puffed effect that is becoming to some wearing apparel and to many fabric furnishings.

Preparing the Fabric

Baste a light padding of cotton flannel, synthetic quilt batting, sheet wadding, or a lightweight wool interlining to the underside of the fabric. When using sheet wadding, first back it with voile, batiste, or net to preserve the sheet wadding through wear. Baste the layers of fabric and padding together of the lengthwise and crosswise grains.

Basic Procedure

• Select straight stitch 1.
• Draw both threads under the foot and diagonally across feed to left.
• Position the needle, lower the foot and start stitching.

Adjusting Machine Stitch to Suit Your Fabric

You can do functional as well as decorative zig-zag stitching with your sewing machine.

Setting Selectors

Stitch Pattern Selector

Before turning selector, make sure needle is out of the fabric.

For plain zig-zag stitching:

- Turn pattern selector to stitch pattern 1.

• Pattern Selector: 1
• Stitch Width: 1-5 to suit application
• Stitch Length: 1-4 to suit fabric
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• General Purpose Foot

Stitch Width Selector

Before turning selector, make sure needle is out of the fabric.

To produce a plain zig-zag or a decorative stitch, the stitch width selector is turned from its straight stitch position 0 to any of its other five positions. The further you turn the selector toward the right, the wider your stitch will be.

Diagram illustrating a mechanical or electrical process with numbered steps and a circular component, likely for measuring or positioning.

Adjusting Needle-Thread Tension

Zig-zag stitching requires less needle-thread tension than straight stitching.

Make a test sample with the fabric and thread you plan to use so that you can adjust the tension properly. The stitches should be flat against the fabric without causing the fabric to pucker.

If the stitches are not flat and the fabric is puckered, lower the needle-thread tension by turning the dial to a lower number.

Adjusting Stitch Length

Any stitch length setting from 1 to 4 will give you an open zig-zag stitch. The higher the number, the more open, or farther apart your stitches will be.

The area between 0 and 1 on the dial is used for the adjustment of zig-zag satin stitching, a series of closely spaced plain zig-zag stitches that form a smooth, satin-like surface. (Refer to page 25 for information on satin stitching.)

Applications

Lingerie Seams

To make a lingerie seam durable and flexible, use the plain zig-zag stitch at a narrow width setting. This seam treatment is particularly suitable for bias seams. When seaming nylon tricot, insert a Style 2045 needle in the machine.

• Straight stitch the seam on wrong side of fabric.
• Press both seam allowances in the same direction.
• From the right side, topstitch with narrow zig-zag stitch, letting the needle alternately enter the seam line and the seam thickness.

Satin Stitching

Satin stitching, a series of closely spaced zig-zag stitches that form a smooth, satin-like finish, illustration A, is useful for both practical and decorative work. Decorative stitch patterns can be sewn at satin-stitch length.

Set your machine for desired stitch. Adjust stitch length for satin stitching; stitch width in narrow to medium range.

Adjusting Stitch Length

• Run machine at slow speed.
• Gradually adjust stitch length from 4 toward 0 until stitches are closely spaced and form a smooth surface.

Adjusting Upper Thread Tension

Satin stitching usually requires less tension than straight stitching and open zig-zag stitching. Furthermore, the wider the satin stitch, the lighter the tension on your thread must be. Notice the stitching on your sample. If the fabric is puckered, illustration B, or the lower thread is pulled to the fabric surface, lower the upper thread tension by turning the dial to a lower number.

Appliqué

The stitch most commonly used in appliqué is a plain zig-zag, closely spaced to form a satin stitch. The width of this stitch can be varied to accommodate fabrics of different weaves and textures. Other stitch patterns can also be used.

Preparation

Make a test sample to decide which of the following methods is the most appropriate for your fabric and design. Mark design on piece of fabric to be appliquéd. Cut out design leaving about 2 cm (3/4 inch) margin all around. Position the design. Baste it to the fabric.

Method 1

• Select pattern and adjust stitch width for desired appliqué stitch. Adjust stitch length to fine setting, between 1 and 0.
• Follow the outer edge of the design with a decorative stitch.
• Trim away the excess fabric on the outer edges of the stitching.

Method 2

• Select straight stitch.
• Outline the entire design with a short stitch.
• Trim raw edges to the stitching and remove basting.
• Select stitch pattern and stitch width desired, and set stitch length on a satin stitch setting for a closely spaced stitch, between 1 and 0.
• Stitch, following the straight stitch outline. This method will produce a smooth overedged finish, with no raw edges to be trimmed after stitching.

Method 3

- Purchased motifs can be appliquéd quickly and easily by using either a straight or decorative stitch.

Embroidery

Free-motion Stitching

In free-motion stitching, you sew without a presser foot and instead control fabric movement (and hence stitch length) yourself, by means of an embroidery hoop. Either a straight or a zig-zag stitch setting can be used. Because you can move the hoop in any direction—forward or backward, from side to side, and even diagonally—free-motion stitching is extremely useful for intricate embroidery designs.

If you are embroidering, you can vary the length of stitches simply by moving the hoop faster or slower. The faster you move it, the more open the stitches will be. A slow hoop movement will produce closely packed stitches. You can also vary the width of the stitches, from a hairline to the full width of whatever stitch width setting you have chosen, simply by moving the hoop. If you move it sideways and stitch in a horizontal line, you will get a hairline, if you move it forward or backward and stitch in a vertical line, you will get full stitch width. Thus you can produce a ribbon-like effect in script lettering or create delicate flower designs. This takes practice, but you can achieve some lovely effects that look much like hand embroidery. See following pages for specific directions.

To Prepare for Free-motion Stitching

1. Have available an embroidery hoop large enough to encompass the entire design or area to be darned.
2. Remove presser foot.
3. Attach snap-in feed cover. See page 6 for directions.
4. Turn stitch length selector to the area between 0-1.

• Stitch Length: 0-1
• Snap-in Feed Cover
• Presser Foot: None

If you wish to embroider a whole name—on a child's dress or shirt, for example—you can do so by free-motion stitching.

1. Always make sample first, to find the right stitch settings and spacing.
2. Trace or mark lettering on right side of fabric.
3. If the fabric is soft or loosely woven, add an under-lay of crisp lawn or organdy.
4. Place work in embroidery hoop large enough to encompass the entire work design. Be sure fabric is held taut.
5. Position work under needle and lower presser bar to engage tension.
6. Turn hand wheel toward you to bring bobbin thread up through fabric at start of design and hold both threads to start stitching.
7. Stitch, following outline of lettering. Maintain an even rate of speed so that stitches are uniformly spaced. To produce a close satin stitch, move hoop slowly; to produce an open stitch, move hoop more rapidly.
   To shade the lettering, from wide to narrow stitching, turn the work slightly so that you will be moving it at an angle as you stitch.

Floral Designs

Prepare the machine and your fabric in the same way as for free-motion script lettering. On your test sample, try out different stitch width settings to determine the one or more best suited to your design.

When filling in outlines, place stitches in parallel lines, shifting the direction of the hoop movement as appropriate to the design. For a smooth satin stitch that will catch the light, place the parallel stitches close together, moving the hoop slowly and steadily. For an irregular texture, move the hoop more rapidly, allowing some stitches to overlap.

Setting Selectors

In addition to straight stitch and zig-zag stitch, your machine can produce a variety of stitch patterns. There are two types of stitch patterns built into your machine:

A. decorative stitch patterns, illustrated at left, are produced by side-to-side movement of the needle.

B. stretch stitch patterns, illustrated at left, are produced by both the side-to-side movement of the needle and the back-and-forth movement of the feed.

Refer to chart on page 32 for further information on machine settings and applications for the stitch patterns on your machine.

Selecting a Pattern

Before moving stitch pattern selector, make sure needle is above fabric.

When you turn the stitch pattern selector, one of eight stitch patterns is available to you. Turn stitch width selector to 0. Then rotate the pattern selector until the desired stitch pattern number is aligned with indicating line.

Adjusting Stitch Length

When you are preparing to do pattern stitching, make a test sample with the fabric and thread you plan to use so that you can adjust the stitch length correctly.

Any stitch length setting from 1 to 4 will give you an open stitch pattern of whichever decorative stitch pattern you select. The higher the number, the more open, or farther apart, your stitch will be. The area between 0 and 1 of the selector is used for the fine adjustment of satin stitching.

For stretch stitch patterns, stitch length is controlled with the setting 4 on the panel. Simply rotate the selector until the selector is positioned at 4.

Adjusting Width of the Design

Before turning stitch width selector, always raise needle above fabric.

To produce a stitch pattern, the stitch width selector must be turned from 0 toward a higher number. The higher you turn the dial, the wider your stitch will be.

Adjusting Stitches for Stretch Fabrics

Guiding and Supporting Fabric

Most fabrics of stretch or knit construction need only to be guided in front of the presser foot when you use one of the stretch stitches. Some fabrics—nylon tricot and elasticized fabrics, for example—do require support while being stitched.

1. For nylon tricot and similar synthetic knits, apply gentle tension by holding the seam in front and back of the presser foot as you sew.

2. For elasticized fabric, stretch lace, and knits with an unusual amount of elasticity, apply firm tension in front and back of the presser foot to stretch the seam as the stitches are being placed.

CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you are stitching as this may deflect the needle, causing it to break.

Stitch Pattern Chart

1	Straight Stitch: Use for general purpose sewing, seaming and topstitching.	3	Overedge Stretch Stitch: Used for joining and overedging seams in knit and stretch fabrics in one operation.
1	Zig-zag Stitch: Used for general purpose sewing, bar tacks, finishing seams, embroidery and appliqué.		Multi-Stitch Zig-Zag: Lets you mend, join and reinforce without bulk. Ideal for bar tacking.
2	Maxi—Topstitch: For bold top-stitching on sporty garments.		Blindstitch: For finishing hems and making ladder seams.
2	Ric Rac Stitch: For heavy-duty general-purpose sewing, and bold topstitching on sporty garments.		Crescent Stitch: Useful for ornamental borders and edges.
		6	Buttonholes: Used for making buttonholes.

† These are the stretch stitch patterns on your sewing machine. A slow stitching speed is recommended for sewing stretch stitch patterns. This stitch is designed for strength and permanence and can not readily be ripped out without risk of fabric damage.

Applications

Overedge Stretch Stitch

Although the overedge stretch stitch may be used creatively, it is primarily applied in finishing seams, hems, and facing edges. Use it to overedge seams that require stretch such as crotch seams. It is particularly helpful in skisuit, snowsuit and swimsuit construction. Examples of how to use the overedge stretch stitch follow.

Overedged Seams

• Pattern Selector: 3
• Stitch Width: 5
• Stitch Length: 4
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• General Purpose Foot

Method 1

Make a test sample to determine the suitability of an overedge seam finish for your garment. Duplicate the grain or direction of knit of your garment seam. Adjust thread tension to suit fabric. Use an appropriate Style 2045 needle in the machine for a knit. (See Fabric, Thread and Needle Table on page 10.)

• Baste the garment together on the seam line allowing for 1.5 cm (5/8 inch) seam allowance and fit in the usual way.
• After making any necessary adjustments, trim seam edge evenly to a scant 5 mm (1/4 inch) from seam line basting.
• Place trimmed seam under the foot so that the straight stitches fall on the basted seam line and zig-zag stitches fall over the seam edge.

3

Mock Overedge

This finish is appropriate for bulky knits, fine tricots and fabrics that curl or fray.

Method 2

• Make a test sample.
- Baste the garment together on the seam line and fit in the usual way.
- After making any necessary adjustments, suggested in Method 1, place seam under presser foot. Stitch so that the stitches on the left side of the pattern penetrate the basted seam line.
- Press after stitching and trim away excess fabric to produce a narrow seam edge. When the seam supports the garment, omit the trimming step and press seam open in the usual way.

Overedged Seam Finish

• Pattern Selector: 3
• Stitch Width: 5
• Stitch Length: 3-4
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• General Purpose Foot

- Trim seam edges evenly.

- Place stitching over the trimmed edge of the seam allowance as illustrated.

Multi-Stitch Zig-Zag

The multi-stitch zig-zag is an extremely versatile stitch. Use it to mend, join, or reinforce without bulk. With this stitch you may attach elastic and stretch lace, construct lingerie and swimsuits, and finish seams. There are many other useful applications for the multi-stitch zig-zag.

Mending a Tear

• Pattern Selector: 4
• Stitch Width: to suit application or fabric
• Stitch Length: to suit application or fabric
  • General Purpose Needle Plate
  • General Purpose Foot
• Trim ragged edges.
• Place underlay on the wrong side of tear for reinforcement. Baste one side of underlay in place.
• Stitch on the right side, bringing the edges of the tear together. Shorten stitch length at ends and corners to give extra strength.

Finishes for Hems and Facings

Hem and facing edges in knit and stretch fabrics will be less apt to press through and mark when given a flat edge-finish. Edge finishing with the multi-stitch zig-zag eliminates the bulk of turned-in edges and retains fabric flexibility.

• Make a test sample to check thread tension and stitch length if you are using the multi-stitch zig-zag.
• Place stitching about 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) from hem or facing edge. Avoid stretching edge while sewing.
• Press after stitching and trim away excess fabric close to the stitching line.

Blindstitch

Blindstitching provides a durable hem finish that is almost invisible.

Blindstitch Hems

• Pattern Selector: 5
• Stitch Width: 1.5-5
• Stitch Length: 1 to 2.5
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• General Purpose Foot

We recommend making a test sample first using scraps of the material you will be sewing the hem on.

• Select the blindstitch.
• Prepare hem in the usual way. It is advisable to baste the hem.

• With the wrong side of work uppermost, turn the hem under, creating a soft fold from the top edge of hem.

• Position the hem under the presser foot. Stitch so that the straight stitches fall on the hem allowance and the sideward stitches pierce the soft fold of the work. Adjust stitch width, if necessary.

P A K

Monograms

Many of the machine stitch patterns can be used for monograms or motifs—for adding a personal touch to a blouse collar, for example, or for initialing household lines. You can buy designs—or create them yourself.

To Stitch a Monogram or Motif

• Pattern Selector: 6 See chart for machine stitch patterns
• Stitch Width: 2 through 5
• Stitch Length: 0-1

• General Purpose Needle Plate
  • General Purpose Foot

• Make a sample first, to determine suitability of stitch pattern and find the right stitch length and width, thread tension.

• Transfer the design (by tracing, usually) to the right side of the fabric.
• If the fabric is soft or loosely woven, baste a backing of lawn or organdy onto the wrong side.
• After stitching, trim the backing close to the stitch.

To find the beginning of the pattern unit When you use machine stitch patterns in a motif, always start stitching at the beginning of a pattern unit A that is, at the beginning of the crescent, or whatever pattern you are using. To find the beginning:

1. On a scrap of material, stitch until you come to the end of a complete pattern unit. Now you are ready to start stitching at the beginning of the next unit.
2. Raise presser foot and remove scrap.
3. Position motif under needle; lower presser foot; and stitch.

6. Buttonholes

Buttonholes

Your new machine comes complete with a built-in four-step buttonhole system. Before sewing on your garment, always make a test buttonhole duplicating the number of thicknesses of fabric and interfacing, if appropriate.

Garment Preparation

Buttonhole Position

Accurate guidelines are essential to keep buttonholes at a uniform distance from the edge of the garment, evenly spaced, and on the grain of the fabric.

1. Mark the centre line on the garment. This guideline can be made by machine or hand basting or using tailor's chalk.

Be sure that the space from the centre line to the finished edge of the garment is at least equal to three-quarters the diameter of the button. With this spacing, the button will not extend beyond the edge when the garment is buttoned.

Make sure that the centre line marking follows a lengthwise fabric thread.

A. Centre Line
B. Buttonhole
C. Finished Edge of Garment
D. Distance of Button

B A 3 mm (1/8 inch) B C

1. Mark a position guideline for each buttonhole.

Horizontal buttonholes A are placed to extend 3 mm (1/8 inch) beyond the centre line B of the garment, as shown, so that the buttons will be in the centre of the figure when the garment is fastened.

Horizontal buttonhole guidelines should follow a crosswise fabric thread.

• Mark the horizontal buttonhole guideline for each buttonhole. It should be longer than the finished length of the buttonhole.
• Mark the starting point for each buttonhole 3 mm (1/8 inch) beyond the centre line (see illustration).

Vertical buttonholes C are placed so that the centre line B of the garment is in the centre of the buttonhole, as shown.

- Mark the ends of each buttonhole horizontally across the centre line basting and use the centre line marking as the buttonhole guide when stitching.

Buttonhole Length

• The buttonhole length should be just long enough to allow the button to slip through the opening without stretching it.
• Buttonhole length is not automatically gauged with the button-hole foot. It is necessary to estimate the length by measuring the width plus thickness of the button.
• To make sure the measurement is correct, cut a slit in a scrap of fabric equal to the diameter of the button you intend to use.
• Increase length of opening until button slips through easily.

Four-Step Buttonholing

• Pattern Selector: As illustrated
• Stitch Width: 3-5 to suit fabric
• Stitch Length: F to 3
• General Purpose Needle Plate
• Buttonhole Foot

Preparation

- Attach buttonhole foot to the machine. Refer to page 5 for additional information on changing presser feet.

1. Raise presser foot lifter. Hold upper thread lightly with left hand and turn hand wheel slowly toward you until needle enters the plate.

BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE DURING THIS PROCEDURE.

Continue turning hand wheel and holding upper thread until needle rises. Tighten your hold on upper thread and bring up lower thread in a loop. Release upper thread. Slide scissors between foot A and plate B and draw both upper and lower threads diagonally toward the back of the foot, leaving approximately 10 cm (4 inches) of thread.

- Set machine according to above code.

1. Place fabric with buttonhole marking lines under foot. Align bar tack marking line C with notches on the solid white section of foot D.

Four-Step Buttonholing Procedure

Step A: Bar Tack

Turn pattern selector to AC. With buttonhole foot properly positioned, as described on the previous page, position needle in fabric at point 1. Take at least four stitches ending at point 2.

Step B: Side Stitching

Raise needle above the fabric by turning hand wheel toward you. Turn pattern selector to B. Stitch to the end of the buttonhole. Stop stitching at point 3.

Step C: Bar Tack

Raise needle above fabric. Turn pattern selector back to AC. Take at least four stitches ending at point 4.

Step D: Side Stitching

Raise needle above fabric. Turn pattern selector to the right to D. Stitch to the end of buttonhole.

- Remove work. Using a hand sewing needle, bring threads to underside of fabric. Fasten and trim thread ends.

7. Twin-Needle Stitching

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with no visible text or symbols

The twin-needle simultaneously produces two parallel, closely spaced lines of decorative stitching. You can stitch with either one or two colours of thread. A twin-needle, No. 2024, is supplied with your sewing machine accessories. Extra twin-needles may be purchased separately at your local Sewing Centre.

• Pattern Selector: Stitch desired
• Stitch Width: 2 only†
  • Stitch Length: .5-4 to suit fabric
  • General Purpose Needle Plate
• General Purpose Foot

†CAUTION: Do not use a stitch width greater than what is recommended. A wider stitch will result in needle breakage.

Procedure

• Insert twin-needle.
• Attach detachable spool pin to machine top cover in hole A.
• Place second spool of thread on detachable spool pin.
• Thread as for single-needle stitching, using the two threads, making certain to omit one thread from the thread guide above the needle, as illustrated.
• Place one thread through each needle eye.

8. Free-Arm Sewing

Technical diagram showing three-step sewing process for fabric application, labeled 1 to 3 with Chinese annotations.

Fabric handling, when sewing tubular and hard to reach garment areas, is simplified when you convert your sewing machine to free-arm sewing. Some of the sewing jobs for which you will find the free-arm particularly useful are shown below. You will discover many more for yourself.

Preparation

• To convert machine to free-arm sewing, simply lift the extension bed up and slide the extension bed off the machine, as illustrated.
• To convert machine back to flat bed sewing, simply slide extension bed onto the base of the machine and snap down into place.

1. Sleeves

Free-arm sewing takes the difficulty out of topstitching a sleeve. The arm-hole rotates smoothly under the needle so that you can place stitching accurately. The extra control afforded by the free arm is especially helpful for topstitching flat-felled seams.

2. Bar Tacks

Bar tacks reinforce areas of strain and can be applied to ready-made garments, as well as to those sewn at home. Use the free-arm surface to avoid fabric bulk around the needle when you apply this detail to pockets, plackets, and waistlines.

3. Daming and Mending

Knees, elbows and other areas of wear in children's clothes such as sweaters, jackets and shorts become readily accessible for darning, mending or patching when the free-arm surface is used. The sewing surface fits inside the enclosed sleeve and leg areas, making it unnecessary to open seams or roll the garment.

9. Performance Checklist

Whenever sewing difficulty is encountered, review the section of the instruction book that explains the operation you are performing to make sure you are using the machine correctly. If the problem still exists, the following checklist may help you to correct it.
