8. Preparatory work

8.1. Fitting a spool

TIP

Most spools have a notch to hold the thread in place after use. Make sure that this notch is pointing downwards in order to ensure that the thread will run evenly and will not catch.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with no visible text or symbols

▶ Pull the spool holder (7) up out of the machine until it audibly clicks into place.
Place the spool onto the spool holder.

8.2. Winding thread onto the bobbin

Bobbins can be wound onto the sewing machine quickly and easily.

To do this, guide the thread from the spool through the bobbin-winding thread guide (2) to the bobbin.

The exact procedure for winding thread onto the bobbin is described in the following points:

Place the spool onto the spool holder.
▶ Guide the thread from the spool around the bobbin-winding thread guide as shown in the diagram.
▶ Feed the end of the thread through the hole in the bobbin and wind the thread around the bobbin a few times by hand.

Technical line drawing of a vehicle interior with labeled components and directional arrows (no text or symbols)

Place the bobbin on the spindle (8) with the end of the thread facing upwards to the bobbin. Move the bobbin spindle to the right towards the winding stop (12) until it audibly clicks into place.
Hold the end of the thread firmly and press the foot control pedal. Once some thread has been wound onto the bobbin, let go of the end of the thread. Wind until the bobbin spindle stops turning.

i

Once the bobbin spindle has been moved to the right, the sewing mechanism is disabled so that the needle does not move while the thread is being wound onto the bobbin.

▶ Move the bobbin spindle to the left and remove the bobbin.
▶ Cut off excess threads.

8.3. Removing the bobbin case

▶ Remove the extension table.
▶ Set the needle (25) by turning the handwheel (9) and the presser foot to the top position and open the bobbin case (16) behind the extension table (15) as shown in the diagram.

▶ Open the bobbin case toggle lever and pull it out of the machine.
When you release the toggle lever, the bobbin falls out of the bobbin case by itself.

8.4. Threading the bobbin case

▶ Hold the bobbin between the thumb and index finger of your right hand and pull the thread approx. 15 cm out of the bobbin.
Hold the bobbin case in your left hand and insert the bobbin into the bobbin case.
Insert the end of the thread into the slot on the edge of the bobbin case.

8.10. Bringing up the bobbin thread

▶ Move the presser foot (28) to the upper position.

▶ Turn the handwheel towards you with your right hand until the needle is in the upper position.
Hold the upper thread loosely with your left hand and turn the handwheel towards you with your right hand until the needle has moved down and back up again.
Stop turning the handwheel as soon as the needle has reached its highest position.

▶ Pull the upper thread upwards slightly so that the bobbin thread forms a loop.
▶ Pull around 15 cm of both threads out and back from under the presser foot.

9. Sett ings

9.1. Sett ing the thread tension

If the thread tears while you are sewing, the thread tension is too high. If small loops are formed when you are sewing, the thread tension is too low.

In both cases, you need to set the thread tension.

The tensions of the upper thread and bobbin thread must be in the correct proportion to each other.

9.2. Adjusting the upper thread tension

i

An upper thread tension of 3–4 is suitable for most sewing work.

The tension is created by the discs through which the thread is guided. The pressure on these discs is controlled by the upper thread tension regulator (19).

The higher the number, the higher the tension.

The upper thread tension is not activated until the presser foot is lowered.

There are a number of reasons why you might need to adjust the tension.

For example, different tensions are required for different fabrics.

The tension required depends on the strength and thickness of the fabric, the number of layers of fabric you want to sew and the type of stitch you choose.

Please make sure that the tensions of the upper thread and bobbin thread match, as otherwise the fabric may gather.

We recommend that you carry out a test on a scrap of fabric before starting work.

9.3. Adjusting the bobbin thread tension

The tension of the bobbin thread is regulated by the spring on the bobbin case.

▶ Turn the spring screw clockwise to increase the thread tension.
▶ Turn the spring screw anti-clockwise to reduce the thread tension.

Pure mechanical component diagram without any text, numbers, or symbols

9.4. Checking the thread tension

9.4.1. Correct stitching

The correct setting of upper and bobbin thread tension is achieved when the interlacing of the threads is in the centre of the fabric.

The fabric remains smooth and does not pucker.

Diagram showing a cable being inserted into a wire with a magnified view of the numbered component labeled 3 to 5.

9.4.2. Incorrect stitching

The upper thread is too tight and pulls the bobbin thread up. The bobbin thread is visible on the upper fabric layer.

Solution:

Reduce the upper thread tension by turning the upper thread tension regulator to a lower number.

Technical diagram showing a mechanical component with numbered parts and an arrow indicating rotation or assembly.

Diagram illustrating a mechanical assembly with numbered parts and directional arrows indicating movement or assembly.

Upper thread is too loose. The bobbin thread pulls the upper thread down. The upper thread is visible on the underside of the fabric layer.

Solution:

Increase the upper thread tension by turning the upper thread tension regulator to a higher number.

10. Sewing

10.1. General information

• Switch on the main switch (11).
• When changing the stitch type, always move the needle to its highest position.
• Push the fabric sufficiently far under the presser foot (28). Make sure there is a length of around 10cm of upper thread and bobbin thread behind the needle.
• Lower the presser foot lever (23). Holding the thread with your left hand, turn the handwheel (9) towards you and lower the needle to the point on the fabric where you want to start sewing.
• Press the foot control pedal – the further the foot control pedal is pressed, the faster the machine runs. While sewing, guide the fabric gently by hand.
• Sew a few reverse stitches by actuating the reverse lever (13) to fix the first stitches in place.

TIP

If you are not sure whether the thread tension or stitch type, for example, is correct, test the settings on a swatch.

The fabric will run through automatically under the presser foot. It should not be held fast or pulled by hand, but should only be gently guided so that the stitches go in the desired direction.

10.2. Selecting the right needle

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

Using a defective needle can cause damage to the material.

■ Replace defective needles immediately.

The number indicating the needle thickness is written on the shaft. The higher the number, the thicker the needle.

10.3. Raising and lowering the presser foot

Raising or lowering the presser foot lever moves the presser foot up or down accordingly.

Position 1: The presser foot presses the fabric onto the feeders, the thread tension is activated.

You can start sewing.

Position 2: The presser foot is in the top position and the thread tension is released.

You can take the fabric out of the machine, put it in the machine, or change the presser foot.

Technical diagram of a sewing machine with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating movement or assembly.

Technical line drawing of a sewing machine needle and base plate assembly (no text or symbols)

10.4. Reverse stitching

Use reverse stitches to reinforce the first and last stitches on a seam.

▶ Press the reverse lever and hold it down.
- Press the foot pedal – the more pressure you apply to the foot pedal, the faster the machine will run.
When you want to change back to forward stitching, simply release the reverse lever.

10.5. Removing fabric from the sewing machine

When you finish sewing, make sure that the needle is at its highest position.

▶ To remove the fabric, raise the presser foot and pull the fabric away from you out of the machine.

10.6. Changing the sewing direction

Proceed as follows to change direction when you reach the corners of the material:

▶ Stop the machine and turn the handwheel towards you until the needle is in the fabric.
▶ Raise the presser foot.
▶ Pivot the fabric around the needle to change the direction as desired.
▶ Lower the presser foot again and continue sewing.

10.8. The program selection dial

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

The program selection dial cannot be rotated 360^ . Overwinding the dial may damage the mechanism.

■ Do not turn the programme selector beyond the respective end point markings "→" and "←"

Diagram of a circular device with labeled components including springs, switches, and buttons

On this sewing machine, you can select a number of different functional and decorative stitches. You can use the program selection dial (14) to simply select the stitch pattern you want.

Before changing the stitch, always make sure that the needle is at its highest position.
▶ Turn the program selection dial so that the marker is lined up with the stitch type you want to use.

10.9. Stitch length adjustment

You can use the stitch length control (4) to select the length of the stitch pattern you have set.

▶ Turn the stitch length control so that the number of the desired stitch length is at the marking.

The numbers show the approximate stitch length in millimetres.

The program selection dial is used to set the stitch types. Make sure that the needle is at its highest position before changing the stitch type.

Always test the stitching on a swatch before using a stitch program for your actual work.

For instructions on attaching and removing the presser foot, please see "11.2. Removing and fitting the presser foot" on page 213.

10.10.1. Straight stitch

Suitable for general sewing and for top-stitching.

Presser foot: Standard foot

Stitch length: 0 to 3.6

10.10.2. Zigzag stitch

TIPS FOR ZIGZAG STITCHES

For better results when using zigzag stitch, the upper thread tension must be lower than when sewing straight stitches.

The upper thread should be slightly visible on the underside of the fabric.

The zigzag stitch is one of the most commonly used stitches. It can be used for many different things, for example hemming, appliqué and monograms.

Before you use the zigzag stitch, sew a few straight stitches to reinforce the stitching.

Presser foot: Standard foot

Stitch length:....1 to 3.6

10.10.3. Satin stitch

Five abstract wavy line patterns arranged horizontally (no text or symbols)

So-called satin stitch, a zigzag stitch in which the stitches are very close together, is particularly suitable for appliqué, monograms, and various decorative stitches.

Presser foot: Standard foot

Stitch length: 0 to 1

TIP

Whenever you use this stitch, reduce the upper thread tension slightly. The wider the stitch, the lower the upper thread tension should be. If you are sewing very thin or soft fabrics, you should place a thin piece of paper under the fabric and sew this too. This prevents stitches being missed and the material gathering.

10.10.4. Blind stitch

TIP

Sewing blind stitch requires some practice and should be practised on remnants of fabric before sewing.

For blind hemming.

Presser foot: Standard foot

Stitch length: 0 to 3.6

Use a thread colour that exactly matches the fabric.

If you are sewing very light or transparent fabrics, use a transparent nylon thread.

Place the fabric down in front of you with the top facing down.
▶ Fold the seam allowance onto the underside of the fabric (A), as shown in the diagram.
Now fold the hem allowance onto the underside as well and pin the seam allowance and hem allowance in place (see diagram opposite).
Then fold the entire blind hem over at the edge of the fabric, as illustrated in the diagram. The edge of the fabric should overlap the seam allowance slightly.

Diagram showing two steps of a cable or cable installation on a panel, with no visible text or symbols.

Line drawing of a sewing machine needle stitching fabric (no text or symbols)

▶ Sew carefully along the fold, making sure that the straight stitches are sewn on the hem and that the tips of each of the zigzag stitches only pierce the top fold of the fabric. Now take the fabric out of the machine and straighten it out. The folded-out fabric now has a blind hem stitch.

10.10.5. Stretch stitch

This stitch is particularly suitable for sewing two pieces of fabric together using a flat seam.

It can also be used to reinforce elastic materials and to sew on pieces of fabric. It is also suitable for sewing on elastic (e.g. elastic bands).

Presser foot: Standard foot

Stitch length: 0–3.6

TIP

Use a synthetic thread, as this makes the stitches practically invisible.

10.10.6. Sewing on elastic bands

▶ Position the elastic band as required.
▶ Sew on the elastic band with stretch stitch, using your hands to stretch out the elastic band in front of and behind the presser foot. The more you stretch it, the more it will gather.

10.10.7. Overlock stitch

This stitch is particularly suitable for sewing and mending jersey and track-suits. This stitch is as decorative as it is useful.

Presser foot: Standard foot

Stitch length: 0–3.6

Place the edge of the fabric under the presser foot so that the needle is just touching the edge of the fabric with the right deflection and a zig-zag stitch is sewn with the left deflection.

Technical line drawing of a sewing machine needle and chain (no text or symbols)

10.11. Butt onholes

TIP

To determine the correct stitch length, we recommend sewing a test buttonhole on a scrap of fabric.

Presser foot: Buttonhole presser foot

Programme: Buttonhole programs

Stitch length: 0.5 to 1

▶ Set the foot and needle to their highest position.
▶ Replace the foot with the buttonhole presser foot.

Please read section "11.2. Removing and fitting the presser foot" on page 213 for more information.

Using a pencil or tailor's chalk, mark the place on the fabric where you want to sew the buttonhole and mark the required length of the buttonhole.
Line up the buttonhole presser foot with the slide at the rear end of the buttonhole.

▶ Pass the upper thread through the opening on the buttonhole presser foot and pull both the upper thread and bobbin thread to the left-hand side.

10.11.1. Procedure

▶ Select the program for the left bar on the program selection dial.
▶ Lower the foot and sew slowly until the bar is the required length.

- Raise the needle to its highest position and switch to the program for the bottom bar.

▶ Sew a few stitches of the bottom bar.

Diagram showing a spring scale with an upward arrow and a circular dial with internal symbols and numbers 3 and 1.

• Raise the needle to its highest position again and switch to the program for the right-hand bar.
  Now sew the right-hand bar exactly the same length as the bar on the left-hand side.

Diagram showing spring-mass system with directional arrows and a circular dial with labeled positions 2 and 4

- Raise the needle to its highest position and select the program for the top bar again.

Line drawing of a mechanical spring-loaded tool with no text or symbols

Then sew a few stitches for the top bar as you did for the bottom bar.
Finally, we recommend setting the stitch length to "0" and sewing a few more stitches so that the threads are better linked and the buttonhole does not fray so quickly.
▶ Finally, separate the fabric between the seams with the enclosed cutter. Do this carefully to ensure you do not damage any of the bars.

TIP

We recommend putting a pin in front of the top bar to stop you cutting through it.

10.11.2. Reinforced butt onholes

We recommend reinforcing heavy-duty buttonholes with thread (crochet thread, reinforcement yarn or buttonhole yarn).

▶ Cut a piece of reinforcement yarn to fit the size of the buttonhole and place it around the buttonhole foot.
▶ Feed the yarn into the hook at the rear end of the presser foot and then bring the yarn forwards and fasten it on the front hook with a knot.
▶ Sew the buttonhole as usual. Ensure that the stitches catch the reinforcement yarn completely.
When the buttonhole program is finished, take the fabric out of the sewing machine and cut off the ends of the reinforcement yarn.

TIP

You should practise a few buttonholes on a piece of cloth first in order to learn how to use reinforcement yarn.

10.12. Gathering

Presser foot:....Standard foot Stitch length:....4

Reduce the upper thread tension (see Page 203) so that the bobbin thread is loose on the back of the fabric and is looped by the upper thread.

▶ Sew one or more rows of stitches. Do not cut the threads off right at the edge of the fabric but leave a length of about 10 centimetres on the ends.
▶ At the start of each row, knot the upper thread and bobbin thread.
Hold on to the fabric on the side with the knots and, on the other side, pull one or more lower threads taut at the same time. Now push the fabric together on the bobbin thread. Once the fabric has been gathered to the desired width, knot the upper and lower threads of the second side.
▶ Make sure the gathering is even.
▶ Sew the gathers in place with one or more rows of straight stitches.

10.13. Sewing with the free arm

The free arm enables you to sew tube-shaped pieces more easily. This function is very useful when sewing sleeves and trouser legs, for example.

You can easily turn your sewing machine into a free-arm machine by removing the extension table and accessories box (14) from the sewing machine.

The free arm is particularly useful for the following work:

• Repairing elbows and knees in garments.
• Sewing sleeves, especially in smaller garments
• Appliqué, embroidery or hemming edges, cuffs or trouser legs.
• Sewing elasticated waistbands on skirts or trousers.

10.14. Sewing with a twin needle

When buying new twin needles, make sure that the distance between the two needles does not exceed 4 mm.

The twin needle can be used to create beautiful two-colour patterns if you use different coloured threads for sewing.

Presser foot: Standard foot

Programme:.... A to L

Stitch length: 1 to 4

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

Using the wrong sewing programme can cause the twin needle to bend or break.

■ Only use the twin needle in the programme specified here.

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

When sewing a corner with the twin needle, it may bend or break.

■ Always lift the needle out of the fabric.

11. Maintenance, care and cleaning

CAUTION!

Risk of injury!

There is a risk of injury from accidental operation of the foot control pedal.

■ After finishing work or before maintenance work, always switch off the machine and unplug the mains plug from the socket.

11.4. Maintaining the sewing machine

The sewing machine is a sensitive mechanical product and requires regular maintenance to ensure it always functions perfectly.

You can carry out this maintenance yourself.

Maintenance primarily refers to: Cleaning and oiling.

Only use special sewing machine oils of the best quality for oiling, as other oils are not suitable.

Please note that there may be residues in the appliance after oiling. To remove these residues, sew a few stitches on a sample piece of fabric or a fabric remnant. This way you avoid soiling your fabric.

11.4.1. Cleaning the housing and foot control pedal

Before cleaning, pull the plug out of the mains socket.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the appliance and the foot control pedal. Avoid the use of chemical solutions and cleaning products because these may damage the appliance surface and/or the labels on it.

11.4.2. Cleaning the feeder

It is necessary to keep the fabric feeder teeth clean at all times to ensure perfect stitching.

Remove the needle and presser foot (see Page 213 onwards).
▶ Undo the screws on the needle plate to remove the needle plate from the machine.

12.1. Fabric, thread and needle table

As a general rule, fine threads and needles are used to sew thin fabrics, thicker threads and needles are used for heavier fabrics. Always test the thread and needle thickness on a scrap of the fabric you intend to use. Use the same thread for needle and bobbin. If you sew stretch stitches on fine fabrics or synthetics, use a needle with a blue shaft (available from specialist retailers). These prevent stitches from being missed.

12.2. Useful sewing tips

12.2.1. Sewing thin and lightweight fabrics

Lightweight and thin fabrics can ride up in the machine as these materials are not always fed through the machine evenly.

When sewing these kinds of fabrics, lay some embroidery backing (available from specialist shops) or a piece of tissue paper under the material. This prevents irregular feeding.

12.2.2. Sewing elasticated fabrics

It can be easier to work with elastic materials if you sew the pieces of material together first with basting cotton or tacking yarn and then sew them together with small stitches without stretching the material.

Good results can also be obtained if you use special threads for sewing knitwear and stretch stitches.
