KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE STRAIGHT AND ZIGZAG STITCHING BUILT-IN STITCHES BUTTONHOLE AND BUTTON SEWING USING ATTACHMENTS AND APPLICATIONS MAINTENANCE INDEX26 THREADING THE MACHINE Winding the Bobbin CAUTION

• If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set incorrectly, the thread may tangle on the spool pin.

• Use the spool cap (large, medium, or small) that is closest in size to the thread spool. If a spool cap smaller than the thread spool is used, the thread may become caught in the slit on the end of the spool.

1. Place the spool of thread on the horizontal spool pin and firmly

hold it with a spool cap so that the spool of thread will not turn. Pass the thread through the thread guide as shown following the dotted line on the machine. CAUTION Use only bobbins recommended by the manufacturer of this machine (see page 3). Using other bobbins may result in damage or injury.

2. Pass the end of the thread through the hole on the bobbin from

the inside. Place the bobbin onto the bobbin winder shaft and slide the bobbin winder shaft to the right. Turn the bobbin clockwise, by hand, until the spring on the shaft slides into the groove of the bobbin. 1 Spring on the shaft 2 Groove of the bobbin 3 Bobbin winder seat

3. While holding the end of the thread, gently depress the foot

controller to wind the thread around the bobbin a few times. Then stop the machine. Trim the excess thread above the bobbin.

4. Step down on the foot controller to start.

5. After the machine stops automatically when the bobbin is full,

take your foot off of the foot controller. CAUTION When removing the bobbin, do not pull on the bobbin winder seat. Doing so could loosen or remove the bobbin winder seat, resulting in damage to the machine.

6. Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left and

remove the bobbin. NOTE: The needle bar does not move when the bobbin winding shaft is slid to the right. Immediately after winding the bobbin, it is normal to hear the sound of the clutch engaging when beginning to sew or manually turning the balance wheel. CAUTION Be sure to follow the process described. If the thread is not cut completely, and the bobbin is wound, when the thread runs low it may tangle around the bobbin and cause the needle to break. CAUTION Setting the bobbin improperly may cause the thread ten- sion to loosen, breaking the needle and resulting in injury. 1 Wound evenly 2 Wound poorly

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 1 and 2). However, when other patterns are used, set the Stitch Width Dial between 0 and 3. See page 23 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 3 since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break.

These stitches are used to join together seams and finish them in one operation. The Elastic Overlock Stitches are useful when sewing stretch materials.

1. Set the Pattern Selection Dial to Comb Stitch, either Elastic

Overlock Stitch, or Elastic Shell Tuck Stitch.

2. Position the fabric under the presser foot so that the seamline (or

arrowhead point) is approximately 3 mm (1/8") to the left of the center of the presser foot. This stitch works best with a seam allowance of approximately 5 mm (3/16") as this allows the right (zigzag) side of the stitch to overlock the cut edge of the fabric as shown in fig. A.

3. If the seam allowance is wider than the stitch pattern, trim away

any excess fabric after stitching. A finished Elastic Overlock Stitch is shown in fig. B.
