TO START SEWING

Important Hints

1. Raise the take-up lever to its highest position before starting and after stopping sewing.
2. Hold both threads about 10 cms to the rear of machine for the first two or three stitches.
3. Sufficient fabric should be placed under needle before lowering presser foot.
4. Depress foot/Speed control and start to sew.
5. Test the machine stitches on a scrap of fabric you plan to use, adjusting the machine for the length of stitch and tension suitable to your fabric.

Attention

1. When turning the balance wheel manually, always turn it toward you.
2. Guide the cloth gently with your hand.
3. To prevent breaking needle always raise the needle out of the fabric when you stop sewing.

TO FINISH SEAM

sew as illustrated.

HEMMING Note: Hemmer foot can be purchased separately.

3mm 1mm 20mm

1. Raise the foot and the needle to its highest position. Replace the foot with the hemmer foot.
2. Fold over the fabric edge by about 3mm and place it under the foot. Secure the folded edge with a few stitches. Take out the workpiece and draw the hem into the hemmer foot b. pulling the threads.

Illustration of hands using a sewing machine to draw a hem, showing force direction (no text or symbols)

1. Lower the foot and sew the hem.
2. During sewing, fold the fabric to the left a little and allow it to run into the hemmer foot.
3. Make sure that the fabric does not move under the right half of the foot. The fabric must be fed in to the scroll of the hemmer sufficiently so that the workpiece edge runs freely through the groove under the foot.

Only suitable materials can be used and some practice may be necessary to achieve best results.

TWIN NEEDLE

Note: Twin needle can be purchased separately

Line drawing of a sewing machine needle with spring mechanism (no text or symbols)

Remove regular needle and insert twin needle. Thread both threads through the same path as for normal sewing. Separate threads before last thread guide above the needle. Insert one thread into the right needle of twin needle. Insert other thread into the left needle of twin needle.

CAUTION: Do not set stitch width wider than number 2 setting. Exceeding this will cause breaking of needle.

CHECKING PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS WHAT TO DO

PROBLEM	PROBABLE CAUSE	CORRECTION
Fabric not moving	- Feed dog down.- Machine not moving.- Stitch length dial in o position.- Light pressure on presser foot.	- Raise feed dog.- Tighten stop motion.- Moving dial to 1-4.- Increase pressure on presser foot.
Breaking Needle	- Incorrect setting of needle.- Needle bent.- Pulling fabric.- Incorrect use of needle, thread or fabric.	- Reset needle.- Fit new needle.- Do not pull fabric.- Correct use of needle, thread or fabric.
Breaking Bobbin Thread	- Improper threading.- Tight upper thread tension.- Needle bent.- Nicks or burrs on shuttle.	- Re-thread machine.- Loosen upper thread tension.- Fit new needle.- Replace shuttle, or polish off burrs completely.
Machine Jamming Knocking Noise	- No oil.- Dust and thread in shuttle.	- Needs oiling.- Clean shuttle.
Puckering	- Tension too light.- Sewing foot pressure too strong.- Incorrect use of fabric, and thread.	- Reset.- Adjust sewing foot pressure.- Use correct fabric, needle and thread.
