Thread tension

Note:

The bobbin thread tension does not normally have to be adjusted.

Lower thread tension

To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and bobbin and hold it by suspending it by the thread. Jerk it once or twice. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two. If the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all. If the tension is too loose, it will drop too much. To adjust, turn the small screw on the side of the bobbin case.

Upper thread tension

Basic thread tension setting: "AUTO" To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

IMPORTANT: Match needle size to thread size and weight of fabric.

Note twin needle:

1. Twin needles, can be purchased for utility and decorative work.
2. When sewing with twin needles, the stitch width dial should be set at less than "3" and set the needle position dial to middle position.
3. European needles show sizes 65, 70, 80 etc. American and Japanese needles show size 9, 11, 12 etc.

Sewing basics

How to choose your pattern

For straight stitch, select pattern "with pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length with the stitch length dial. You may choose any needle position, by turning the stitch width dial.

For zigzag stitch, select pattern " 32 " with pattern selector dial. Adjust the stitch length and stitch width according to the fabric being used.

To obtain any of the other patterns shown in the upper row on the stitch selection panel, select the letter above the stitch with the stitch selector dial. Adjust the stitch length and the stitch width with the control dials according to the result desired.

To obtain any of the patterns on the second row, turn the stitch length dial to "S1", to obtain any of the patterns on the third row, turn the stitch length dial to "S2", select the pattern desired with the pattern selector dial and adjust the stitch width with the stitch width dial.

Straight stitching and needle position

Turn the pattern selector dial so that the stitch display shows the "A" (straight stitch).

Generally speaking, the thicker the fabric, thread and needle, the longer the stitch should be.

Choose your needle position, from left position to right needle position by changing the stitch width dial from "0" to "5".

Zig zag stitching

Stitch width dial

Stitch length dial

Turn the pattern selector dial to "B".

Function of stitch width dial

The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag stitching is "5"; however, the width can be reduced on any pattern. The width increases as you move zigzag dial from "0" - "5".

Function of stitch length dial while zigzagging

The density of zigzag stitches increase as the setting of stitch length dial approaches "0". Neat zigzag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below.

Satin stitch

When the stitch length is set between "0" - "1", the stitches are very close together producing the "satin stitch" which is used for making buttonholes and decorative stitches.

Fine fabric

When sewing on very fine fabric, place a piece of thin paper under the fabric. It is easy to tear the paper and remove the paper after you have finish your seam.

Zipper foot

Stitch	Stitch width	Stitch length
A	2.5	1~4

The zip foot can be inserted right or left, depending on which side of the foot you are going to sew. (1)

To sew past the zip pull, lower the needle into the fabric, raise the presser foot and push the zip pull behind the presser foot. Lower the foot and continue to sew.

It is also possible to sew in a length of cord, into a bias strip to form a "welt".

According to thickness of fabric to set stitch length control. (2)

Stitch	Stitch width	Stitch length
D	1	~

For hems, curtains, trousers, skirts, etc.

A. Blind hem/ lingerie for firm fabrics.

Fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side uppermost. (1)

Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel forwards by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the stitch width accordingly. (2)

Adjust the guide (3) by turning the knob (4) so that the guide just rests against the fold. Sew slowly, by pressing the foot control lightly guiding the fabric along the edge of the guide.

Button sewing foot

Stitch	Stitch width	Stitch length
B	0	~

Install the darning plate. This will cover the feed dog and the stitch length will be disabled.

Position the work under the foot. Place the button on the marked position, lower the foot, adjust stitch width to "0" and sew a few securing stitches. Adjust the stitch width according to the button. Turn the handwheel to check that the needle goes cleanly into the left or right hole of the button, and sew on the button. Adjust the stitch width to "0" and sew a few securing stitches.

If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the button and sew. For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front two holes first, push work forward and then sew through the back two holes as described.

Buttonhole foot

Stitch	Stitch width	Stitch length
10	5	0

Preparation:

Remove the zigzag foot and attach the buttonhole foot. Adjust the stitch length dial between "0.5" - "1". The density of the stitch depends on thickness of the fabric.

Note: Always test sew a buttonhole.

To prepare the fabric:

Measure the diameter of the button and add 0.3cm (1/8") for the bartacks. If you have a very thick button, add more to the diameter measurement. Mark the position and length of the buttonhole on the fabric.

Position the fabric so that the needle is on the mark that is furthest from you.

Pull the buttonhole foot towards you as far as it will go.

Lower the foot.

a. Turn the pattern selector dial to "I". Sew at moderate speed until you reach the end mark.
b. Turn the pattern selector dial to " 4 " and sew 5-6 bartack stitches.
c. Turn the pattern selector dial to "3" and sew the left side of the buttonhole to the mark at the end which is further from you.
d. Turn the pattern selector dial to " " and sew bar tack stitches.

Remove the fabric from under the foot. Draw the upper thread through the backside of the fabric and knot upper and lower threads. Cut the center of the buttonhole with the seam ripper, being careful not to cut the stitches on either side.

Tips:

• Slightly reduce upper thread tension to produce better results.
• Use backing material for fine and stretchy fabrics.
• It is advisable to use a gimp cord for stretch or knit fabrics. The zigzag should sew over the gimp. (e)

Sewing on lace and elastic, darning, mending, reinforcing edges.

Place patch in position. The stitch length can be shortened to produce very close stitches. (1)

When mending tears, it is advisable to use a piece of backing fabric to reinforce. The stitch density can be varied by adjusting the stitch length. First sew over the centre and then overlap on both sides. Depending on the type of fabric and damage, sew between 3 and 5 rows. (2)

Stitch Stitch	width Stitch	length

To join two pieces of fabric while leaving a space between their edges.

• Fold over the edges of the two pieces of fabric for the hem and baste the edges to a thin piece of paper leaving a small space between them.
• Stitch along the edge, pulling both threads slightly when beginning to sew.
• Use thicker than normal threads for sewing.
• After sewing, remove the basting and the paper. Finish by tying knots on the reverse side at the beginning and the end of the seams.

Preparation for Monogramming and Embroidering*

• Draw the desired lettering or design on the right side of the fabric.
• Stretch the fabric between embroidery hoop as firmly as possible.
• Place the fabric under the needle. Make sure the presser foot bar is down in its lowest position.
• Turn the balance wheel towards you to bring up the lower thread through the fabric. Sew a few securing stitches at the starting point.
• Hold the hoop with thumb and forefingers of both hands.
• Coordinate sewing speed and movement of hoop.

Applique

Twin needle

Stitch	Stitch	width	Stitch	length
A	2	.

Please note:

When sewing with twin needle, always proceed slowly, and make sure to maintain a low speed to insure quality stitching. When using twin needle on zig-zag make sure the stitch width dial is set between "0" and "3". Do not use twin needle at setting above "3".

• Make sure that the two threads used to thread the twin needle are of the same weight. You can use one or two colors.
• Insert the twin needle in the same way as single needle. Flat side of needle should face away from you.
• Follow instructions for single needle threading. Thread each needle separately.
