THAN THE TOP THREAD TENSION. If the tension is well balanced, but the fabric puckers badly, both top and bobbin thread tensions may be too tight and have to be adjusted. To test if the bobbin thread tension is correct, suspend the bobbin case by the thread and jerk it once. Correct bobbin tension will result in the thread unwinding only one or two inches. If too loose it will unwind continuously. If too tight the thread will not unwind at all. When adjusting the tension on the bobbin case, make only slight adjustments with a screwdriver.

6. First turn the handwheel toward you (counter-clockwise) until the needle is at its

highest position. Raise the presser foot, draw materials to the rear and cut off excess thread with the thread cutter located on the bottom of face cover as shown.

2. Pull both threads under the presser foot toward the back of the machine, leaving

about 6” (15cm) clear.

3. Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the presser foot lifter.

4. Turn the hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise) until the needle enters the fabric.

5. Start the machine. Guide the fabric gently with your hands. When reaching the edge

To keep the seam straight, use one of the numbered guide lines on the needle plate. The numbers indicate distance from the needle at its center position.

KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT

This stitch is designed to look like hand sewing for topstitching and quilting. 1. Thread bobbin with desired top stitching color. When sewing the machine will pull this thread to the top.2. Thread machine with invisible or lightweight thread the color that matches your fabric. This thread should not show.3. Increase thread tension a little bit at a time until you achieve the desired appearance.NOTE: For a dramatic appearance, experiment with different tension and stitch length combinations.Use zipper foot to sew to the right or left of the zipper or close to the cording.

ADJUSTING STITCH WIDTH AND LENGTH

ZIGZAG STITCHING The top thread may appear on the bottom depending on the thread, fabric, type of stitch and sewing speed, but the bobbin thread must never appear on the top of the fabric. If bobbin thread is pulling to the top or you are experiencing puckering, slightly reduce the tension with the Thread Tension Control.

Center positionPosition centrale This is a closely spaced stitch for appliqué, bar-tacking, etc. Slightly loosen the top thread tension and manually adjust the stitch length between 0.5 and 2.0 for satin stitching. Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing to avoid puckering. SATIN STITCH NOTE: When sewing a dense (closely spaced) Satin Stitch, the Satin Stitch Foot MUST be used. The satin stitch increases from the center needle position; making it possible to create center tapered stitch, as illustrated.

PLACEMENT OF PATTERNS

Regular blind stitch for normal woven fabrics.

NOTE:Ittakespracticetosewblindhems.Doatestsewrst. NOTE: In addition to the adjustment on the foot, the stitch width control can be used. The stitch width control changes the swing of the needle for a narrower or wider stitch.

1. With matching thread nish the raw edge. On ne fabric turn up and press a small ½”

(1.3 cm) or less hem. On medium to heavyweight fabrics overcast the fabric’s raw edge.

2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side up.

3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel towards you (counter-clockwise)

by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of the guide.

4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the right side of the fabric.

Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and forwards. It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved seams which take a lot of strain. Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give a professional nish to your garments.

STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH

DECORATIVE AND STRETCH STITCHES

: Presser foot - General Purpose Foot: Thread tension control - 5SETTINGSStretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable fabrics, but can also be used on woven materials.1. For smocking, rst make several rows of gathers across the fabric that you wish to smock.2. Cut an underlay fabric (such as organdy) and place it under the shirring.3. Sew the honeycomb stitch over the gathered rows, securing them in place. HONEYCOMB STITCH The Honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and useful for overcasting and attaching elastic and stretch lace.Ce point est beaucoup plus solide que le point ordinaire, vu qu’il s’exécute en trois fois, une fois en avant, une fois en arrière et encore une fois en avant. Il est particulièrement utile pour renforcer les coutures sur les tissus de sport extensible ou non, et pour les coutures en courbes qui demandent beaucoup de force.1. Pour la couture de smocks, débuter en cousant plusieurs rangs de fronce sur le tissu sur lequel vous voulez faire du smock.2. Coupez une pièce de tissus d’entoilage (comme un organdi) et placez-le sous la section froncée.3. Coudre plusieurs rangs de points nids d’abeilles sur les fronces pour les tenir en place.

POINT DROIT EXTENSIBLE

OVEREDGE STITCH This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in making sportswear

it forms and finishes the seam in one operation. It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or worn seams of garments. The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used for decorative topstitching or for attaching laces and trims. It is also ideal for quilting applications and edge-joining. FEATHER STITCH RIC-RAC STITCH Ric-rac is primarily used for a decorative top-stitch. It is ideal for edging neck- bands, armholes, sleeves and hems. When manually adjusted to a very narrow width, it also can be used for sewing high stress seams.

The Double overlock stitch has three main uses. It is perfect for attaching at elastic, for overcasting, and for seaming and overcasting in one operation. It is primarily used on slightly stretch fabrics and non- stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed, and medium to heavy-weight cotton.

Excellent for hemstitching projects like table linens. Picot-like stitch can also be made on sheer materials. Sew along the raw edge of fabric and trim close to the outside of the stitching.

Use to sew and nish elastic fabrics or for decorative work. CROSSED STITCH Seams and overcasts in one operation to produce a narrow, supple seam, particularly suited to swimwear, sportswear, T-shirts, babywear in stretch nylon, jersey and cotton jersey.

A traditional pattern suited for decorative borders and edge nishings. Used mainly for decorative machine stitching.

FISHBONE STITCH It is a versatile stitch used for joining fabric pieces as well as for decorative machine stitching. This stitch is perfect for attaching flat elastic. They can also be used for smocking and as a seam nish. THORN STITCH
