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.

①Stitch length dial

②Length

③Fine → SS

④Coarse

CAUTION

Do not set the Stitch Length Dial in the range shown by Ⓐ. If the machine is started while the dial is set in the range shown by Ⓐ, the fabric will not feed correctly and the fabric or machine may be damaged.

Turn the dial to the left past "0" into the SS position. The SS length is preset for the best stretch stitch performance.

CAUTION

If the stitches get bunched together, lengthen the stitch length and continue sewing. Do not continue sewing without lengthening the stitch length, otherwise the needle may break and cause injury.

Twin Needle Sewing

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 17 for details on adjusting the Stitch Width Dial.

CAUTION

• Use only twin needles made for this machine (part code X57521-021). 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 9). The flat side of the needle should face toward the back and the rounded side should face toward you.

TWIN NEEDLE THREADING

Each needle should be threaded separately.

1. Threading the Right Needle

Follow the same instructions for single needle threading using the thread from the spool on the extra spool pin. See page 25 for threading details.

1. Threading the Left Needle

Thread the left needle in the same manner that the right needle was threaded, but do not pass the thread through the thread guide above the needle before passing it through the eye of the left needle as shown in fig. B.

①Right needle thread passes through this guide.

②Left needle thread passes in front of this guide.

CAUTION

The needle threader can not be used. Thread the twin needle by hand, from front to back. Using the needle threader may result in damage to the machine.

NOTE:

1. For transparent nylon thread, always use needle 90/14 - 100/16.
2. The same thread is usually used for the bobbin thread and upper threading.

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.

• 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 handwheel 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.

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 and needle, 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.
