CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Before connecting, make sure that the voltage of the power supply is identical to that of the machine. With the switch on "OFF", fit the nonreversible plug into the machine socket and plug the machine into the wall socket. Switch it on.
N.B. Make it a habit to switch off the machine when you are not using it.
NEEDLE UP/DOWN (MODEL 3007)
A pressure on this key, when the machine is not running, makes the needle rise or come down. If the needle is in the upper position, it will come down into the fabric and vice versa.
CAUTION: Don't press the foot control whilst the needle up/down key is depressed.
This key is used for:
-Making the bobbin thread come up (down/up), hold the end of the bobbin thread.
- Sewing an angle (make the needle go down before turning the fabric).
Thus it is no longer necessary to turn the balance wheel by hand to raise and lower the needle.
Sewing speed can be varied by the foot control. The harder you press on the control, the faster the machine runs.
SPEED REDUCER MODEL 3007
The sewing speed range can be varied by the speed reducer.
For a higher speed, slide it to the right, for a lower speed slide it to the left.
MODELS 3003 + 3005
The sewing speed range can be varied by the switch situated on the front of the foot control.
For high speed, set the switch at "HIGH" (230 V) or "..." (120 V).
For low speed, set the switch at "LOW" (230 V) or "O" (120 V).
- Do not move the switch when the machine is running.

Start sewing from the lower end, with the zipper closed.
Finish by opening the zipper as indicated before. If the zipper is covered from the other side, attach the foot on the left.
NARROW HEM
Make a double fold of 2.5mm (1 / 8^) over a length of about 8cm [3^] .
Lower the needle into the fabric at the starting point, then lower the hemmer foot D. Sew 2 or 3 stitches while holding both threads.
Lower the foot, then sew, carefully guiding the fabric so that it remains in the spiral.
Lower the needle into the fabric, lift the presser foot and insert the folded portion into the spiral of the foot.
Trim about 7mm (1 / 4^ ) from the corners, as illustrated, to reduce bulk.
BLIND STITCH
On light fabrics, the raw edge can be turned under and pressed. On heavy fabrics that tend to fray, the row edge should be overcast first.
Iron the hem at the required height.
Place the fabric so that the needle just pierces the folded part of the fabric when it comes to the left. Lower the presser foot.
Adjust the guide by turning the nut. Sew by guiding the folded edge along the guide.
V DECORATIVE SEWING
DECORATIVE SATIN STITCH
STRETCH STITCH PATTERNS
Sew a row of stitches and adjust the tension, so that the needle thread will slightly appear on the reverse side of the fabric. Test the stitch on a piece of the actual fabric for the best result.
The stitch lengths of the automatic patterns are preset. No adjustment is needed for the stitch length.
ADJUSTING STRETCH STITCH BALANCE
If the patterns are not neat, it is possible to adjust them with the feed balance screw.
- After sewing with the modified feed balance, return to the standard adjustment “▶”.
- If the patterns are compressed, the stitch is too short. Correct by turning the screw to " +".
- If the patterns are too distorted, the stitch is too long. Correct by turning the screw to "..."
SMOCKING
With the stitch length on 4, sew straight stitch lines at a distance of 10mm (3 / 8^ ) over the whole area to be smocked. Knot the threads on one side, Pull the bobbin threads and distribute the gathers evenly. Knot the threads on the other side. Sew the decorative stitch in the middle between the stitch rows. Remove the gathering threads.
N.B. Gathering is easier with a weaker upper tension.
QUILTING
Attach the quilting guide L. It will help you to keep an even distance between the stitch rows.
Sew and let the guide follow the previous stitch row.
PIN-TUCKING
Fold the fabric left side against left side.
Place the fabric under the presser foot. Lower the needle into the fabric according to the desired depth of the tucks. Lower the presser foot. Adjust the guide by turning the thumb nut.
Hold the fabric against the guide when sewing.
Press the tucks to one side.
SHELL TUCK
Place the folded fabric on the edge of the transparent part on the right. The needle should stitch just outside on the right and form a fold.
FAGOTING (MODEL 3007)
Fold under each fabric edge 1.5cm (1 / 2^ ) and press. Pin the two edges to paper or tear-away backing 2 to 3mm (1 / 8^ ) apart. Sew slowly, guiding the fabric so that the needle catches the folded edge on each side.
APPLICATIONS
Baste, or press, using self-adhesive lining, the application onto the fabric.
Sew around the entire application, making sure the needle always goes down outside the application when at the right.
When sewing curbs, stitch the needle into the fabric, raise the presser foot and swing round the fabric in the direction of the design.
- When the application is finished, reset the foot pressure on "3".
ASSEMBLING EDGE-TO-EDGE
Fold each fabric edge to the wrong side and press. Present the folded edges facing one against the other under the middle of the pres- ser foot.
VI MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE BOBBIN CASE
Remove the plug from the outlet socket.
This machine does not need oiling. However, the area around the bobbin and hook must be cleaned each time the machine has been used extensively. The casing may be cleaned with a soft cloth and pure soap. Remove the needle before cleaning the machine.
To remove the hook cover push the button on the side to the right.
Take out the bobbin. Clean the whole area with the lint brush.
Insert the bobbin. Refit the hook cover.
CLEANING THE HOOK
Remove the plug from the outlet socket.
Raise the needle to its highest position.
Remove the presser foot and the needle. With the screwdriver, remove the screw at the left of the needle plate.
Remove the needle plate.
Remove the bobbin and the bobbin case.
Clean the feed dog, the hook and the bobbin case with the lint brush.
REFITTING THE BOBBIN CASE
When refitting the bobbin case, make sure that the front notch holds the bobbin case well in place to prevent it from turning.
