LONGUEURS ET LARGEURS RECOMMANDEES POUR CHAQUE POINT

Depending on your selected stitch, you may need to adjust the stitch length for best results.

The numbers marked on the Stitch Length Dial represent the length of the stitch in millimeters (mm).

THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE STITCH.

The "0" setting does not feed the material. This is used for sewing on a button.

The "F" area is used for making a Satin Stitch (a dense zigzag stitch) which can be used in making buttonholes and decorative stitches. The position needed for making the Satin Stitch varies according to the material and thread being used. To determine the exact dial position, you should first test the stitch and length settings on a scrap of fabric to observe the feeding of the material.

Your machine is designed for twin needle sewing, which allows you to sew with two top threads. You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches. Any of the patterns, except the buttonhole pattern, can be sewn with the twin needle. When using the Straight Stitch, the Stitch Width Dial should be set so that the needle is in the center position (between 3 and 4). However, when other patterns are used, set the Stitch Width Dial between 0 and 5. See page 28 for details on adjusting the Stitch Width Dial.

CAUTION

• Use only twin needles made for this machine (part code X57521-001). Other needles could break, resulting in damage.
• When sewing with the twin needle, be sure the Stitch Width Dial is not set above 5 since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break.
• Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and cause injury.
• When using the twin needle, be sure to use zigzag presser foot only.

INSERTING THE TWIN NEEDLE

Insert in the same way a single needle is inserted (refer to page 11). The flat side of the needle should face toward the back and the rounded side should face toward you.

PARA INTRODUICIR LA AGUJA DOBLE

CAUTION

Be sure to follow the needle, thread, and fabric combinations listed in the table. Using an improper combination, especially a heavyweight fabric (i.e., denim) with a small needle (i.e., 65/9 - 75/11), may cause the needle to bend or break, and lead to injury. Also, the seam may be uneven, the fabric may pucker, or the machine may skip stitches.

COMBINAISONS TISSU/FIL/AIGUILLE

• To avoid injury, pay special attention to the needle while the machine is in operation. Keep your hands away from moving parts while the machine is in operation.
• Do not stretch or pull the fabric during sewing. Doing so may lead to injury.
• Do not use bent or broken needles. Doing so may lead to injury.
  Take care that the needle does not strike basting pins or other objects during sewing. Otherwise, the needle may break and cause injury.
• If stitches become bunched, lengthen the stitch length setting before continuing sewing. Otherwise, the needle may break and cause injury.
• Always use the correct presser foot. If the wrong presser foot is used, the needle may strike the presser foot and bend or break, resulting in injury.
• When you turn the balance wheel by hand, always turn it to the front (counter-clockwise). Turning it the other way may cause the thread to tangle, and result in damage to the needle or fabric or injury.

Making a Buttonhole (For 4-step BH Type)

Pattern Stitch Length Stitch Width Foot
b = ac - d	F-1.5	3-5(Dial 4-7)	Buttonhole Foot

NOTE:

1. It is recommended to practice making a buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before attempting it on the actual garment.
2. When making buttonholes on soft fabrics, place a stabilizer material on the underside of the fabric.

Buttonhole-making is a simple process that provides reliable results.

MAKING A BUTTONHOLE

1. Using tailor's chalk, mark the position and length of the button-hole on the fabric.
2. Attach the buttonhole foot and push the frame back until it stops with the plastic insert in the front of the frame.
3. The front bar tack will be sewn first. Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the center of the front bar tack mark is directly under the center of the presser foot and aligned with the two red lines as shown.

Step 4(Right side)	d	d	1. Set the pattern selection dial to “d”.2. Sew the right side until the needle reaches the stitches sewn in step 1.

POUR FAIRE UNE BOUTONNIÈRE

1. To secure the stitching, turn the material 90 degrees counterclockwise and sew Straight Stitches to the end of the front bar tack of the buttonhole.
2. Remove the material from the machine. It is recommended that pins be placed across both ends of the buttonhole as protection against cutting the stitches.
3. Cut an opening in the middle of the buttonhole with a seam ripper tool. Be careful not to cut through any stitches.

CAUTION

When using the seam ripper to open the buttonhole, do not put your hand or finger in the path of the ripper. The ripper may slip and cause injury.

Buttonhole Fine Adjustment

If the stitching on the two sides of the buttonhole do not appear uniform, the following adjustments can be made.

1. Set the Stitch Length Dial at "F-1.5" and stitch the right side of the buttonhole on a scrap of fabric while observing how the material is fed.
2. If the right side of the buttonhole is too coarse or fine, adjust the feeding of the material with the Stitch Length Dial.

①Right row
② Stitch length
③Shorter
④Longer
⑤Adjusted stitch

1. After obtaining a satisfactory feeding on the right side, stitch the left side of the buttonhole and observe the feeding.
2. If the left side is too coarse or fine compared to the right side, adjust the buttonhole fine adjustment screw as described below.

If the left side is too coarse, turn the screw with the enclosed large screwdriver in the - direction. If the left side is too fine, turn the screw with the enclosed large screwdriver in the + direction.

This adjustment allows both sides of the buttonhole to appear uniform.

Equilibrage des boutonnieres

When the buttonhole is not sewn correctly:

There are two different procedures for correcting buttonhole sewing, depending on which part of the buttonhole is not sewn correctly.

Correction Procedure 1 (See fig. A)

1. Raise the Presser Foot Lever, then remove the fabric, upper thread and lower thread.
2. Pull the buttonhole lever slightly toward you.
3. Sew about 10 stitches with no fabric, upper thread, or lower thread in the machine.
4. Place the fabric under the presser foot, and set the upper and lower thread again, then lightly push the buttonhole lever toward the back of the machine and sew the buttonhole from the beginning.

Correction Procedure 2 (See fig.B)

1. Raise the Presser Foot Lever, then remove the fabric and all of the sewn thread.
2. Place the fabric under the presser foot again, then lightly push the buttonhole lever toward the back of the machine and sew the buttonhole from the beginning.

NOTE:

When you are finished sewing all buttonholes be sure to raise the buttonhole lever.

If the buttonhole lever is pushed toward the back of the machine while sewing any stitch other than a buttonhole, the buttonhole feed will be used and the stitch will not be sewn correctly.

If the buttonhole lever is accidentally pushed when you are sewing a stitch other than a buttonhole, remove the fabric and thread from the machine, raise the buttonhole lever, and sew about 20 stitches. Then sew the intended stitch.
