• Use a ball point needle for the sewing alignment of stretch fabric.
• Please purchase any needles not included as accessories, after checking they are specified as home-use sewing machine needles.
• Use the same kind of threads for upper/ lower thread.
• The bigger the needle number is, the thicker the needle is, the bigger the thread number is, the thinner the thread is.

• Straight stitching and reverse sewing

Caution

Do not pull the fabric excessively while sewing. Doing so could break the needle and cause an injury.

Straight stitch

1 Turn the handwheel towards yourself to raise the needle.
2 Turn the pattern selection dial to choose the pattern.

Zigzag sewing foot (Originally attached to the sewing machine)

3 Position the fabric and lower the presser foot lever.

Step on the foot controller to begin sewing.

End of sewing

After sewing, turn handwheel towards yourself until the needle is in the highest position.

Raise the presser foot and pull out the fabric to the rear.

Thread cutter on the presser bar

Line up two threads and cut with the thread cutter on the presser bar.

Thread cutter

Reverse sewing

Reverse sewing is performed at the beginning and the end of sewing to prevent the thread from unraveling.

Reverse sewing is performed while pressing down the reverse sewing lever.

• Stitch 1 cm from the edge of the fabric to prevent unraveling at the start of sewing.
• Sew 3 to 4 reverse stitches at the end of sewing.

Note: Remove your finger from the reverse sewing lever to return to forward direction sewing.

Reverse sewing lever

Sewing thick fabric

When sewing thick fabric from the edge, the presser foot may tilt and be unable to feed through the fabric.

Place fabric or thick paper of the same thickness as the fabric you wish to sew under the presser foot. This will enable smooth sewing.

Fabric or thick paper

Sewing fabric

Sewing thin fabric

When sewing thin fabric, sometimes fabric puckers or is not fed correctly. At that time, sewing is easier if tissue paper is placed under the fabric. After sewing remove the paper carefully.

Sewing tube-shaped fabrics

Pull out the extension table (accessory box) in the direction of the arrow.

2 Sew tube-shaped fabrics such as trousers or sleeves, by pulling them over the machine free arm as shown in the diragram.

- Zigzag sewing

There are various zigzag applications, such as applique and overcasting.

1 Turn the handwheel towards yourself to raise the needle.
2 Turn the pattern selection dial to choose the pattern.

Adjustment method for upper thread tension

• Upper thread is tight

Lower the upper thread tension.

• Upper thread is loose

Increase the upper thread tension.

Note: If the tension does not change even when you adjust the upper thread tension, thread the upper thread and lower thread again.

- Buttonhole sewing

Buttonhole sewing to match the size of the button is possible.

For stretch fabric or thin fabric, it is recommended to use a stabilizer for a better buttonhole finish.

Caution

Remove the power plug from the outlet when changing the presser foot.

Not doing so could cause an injury.

1 Change to the buttonhole foot.

(Refer to "Changing the presser foot", p19.)

2 Set the buttonhole size and mark lines on the fabric.

(Button diameter+button thickness+3mm)

3 Align the buttonhole foot division line closest to you with the guide line, and lower the presser foot to the start line of sewing on the fabric.

4 Raise the needle to the highest position, set the pattern dial to "1", sew the left side and stop at the line marked on the fabric.

5 Raise the needle to the highest position, set the pattern dial to "2", and sew 5 to 6 bar-tack stitches. "2" and "4" on the pattern selection dial use the same dial position.

6 Raise the needle to the highest position, set the pattern dial to "3", sew the right side and stop at the line marked on the fabric.

7 Raise the needle to the highest position, set the pattern dial to "4", and sew 5 to 6 bar-tack stitches.

Caution

When using the buttonhole cutter to cut the buttonholes, do not hold the fabric in front of the cutter.

Doing so could cause an injury to your hand.

Use the buttonhole cutter to cut the center, making sure not to cut the stitches.

Note: If a marking pin is put in the bar-tack area it helps to prevent cutting the bar-tack with the buttonhole cutter.

Adjustment of buttonhole balance

• Use the buttonhole adjustment screw to adjust the balance between the stitches (rear side).
• Adjust by turning with the screw driver of your own.
• Don't turn the screw more than 90^ .

Note: The original position of buttonhole adjustment screw may vary according to the model of machine.

If the stitches are loose on the right side of the buttonhole, turn slightly in the “-” direction.

If the stitches are loose on the left side of the buttonhole, turn slightly in the "+" direction.

Overcasting

This is a sewing method that prevents unraveling at the edge of the fabric.

1 Select one pattern from No.5, No.6 and No.10.

Note: Select pattern No.10 when sewing thin fabric.

- Zipper insertion

Caution

Remove the power plug from the outlet when changing the presser foot.

Not doing so could cause an injury.

Left side pin

Right side pin

2 Align the zipper and the fabric, and tack.

3 Position the fabric so that the zipper is on the right side of the presser foot.

Sew until just before the presser foot makes contact with the slider, and then stop the sewing machine.

Turn the handwheel towards yourself to lower the needle into the fabric.

Raise the presser foot.

Move the slider to the rear of the presser foot, and finish the sewing.

Sewing the right side of the zipper

Release the presser foot and set to the left side pin.

Sew the right side of the zipper using the same procedures as for the left side.

Note: Sewing in the same direction as the left side will help prevent sewing misalignment.

- Blind hem stitching

In this sewing method the stitch cannot be seen on the front of the fabric.

1 Fold back the cloth so that the folded area protrudes by about 5 to 7mm
Iron and tack by hand.

3 Position the cloth so that the left side stitch catches 1 or 2 threads of the inside fold.
Lower the presser foot and start sewing. Sew evenly so that small stitches are evenly located on the right side.
After sewing, pull out the tacking, open out the fabric.

- Feed dog and hook maintenance

If the sewing machine makes a loud noise or rotates slowly, or there could be thread waste or dust in the hook or feed dog. Perform maintenance on the hook and the feed dog.

Caution

When cleaning the hook, disconnect the power plug. Not doing so could cause an injury.

Attention

Do not use detergent, bleach, benzine, or thinner chemical cloths. Doing so could cause discoloration or cracking.

Cleaning the feed dog and hook

1 Remove presser foot and needle.

Loosen screws of needle plate with screw driver for the needle plate and take off needle plate.

2 Lift bobbin case in the direction of the arrow and remove it.

Brush off lint and dust on feed dog and hook, then clean it with a soft cloth.

A vacuum cleaner wand or hose may be used to remove lint from this area.

Attaching the Bobbin Case

Install the bobbin case from the front. The red mark ⑧ on the bobbin case should be in the position, as shown in the diagram.

Align the red mark ⑧ and ⑥ , and attach the needle plate with the projection ⑨ on the bobbin case positioned as shown in the diagram.
3 Make sure that bobbin case moves slightly from side to side as indicated by the arrow.

4 Tighten needle plate clamp screws.

Turn the handwheel and see if hook moves smoothly.
When the bobbin case is attached incorrectly, the handwheel is heavy and does not turn smoothly.
At that time remove the needle plate and the bobbin case, attach them again.
Attach the needle and presser foot.
Make sure that the needle goes into the hole of needle plate correctly while turning the handwheel towards yourself.

- Changing light bulb

Warning

When changing the light bulb, disconnect the power plug and wait until the bulb cools.

Not doing so could cause a burn or electric shock.

1 Loosen the screw with a “+” screw driver of your own, and take off the face cover in the direction of the arrow.

2 Turn the light bulb counterclockwise as the arrow in the diagram and remove.

3 Turn the new light bulb clockwise to install.

Note: Use a light bulb with a maximum power of 15 W.

Always reinstall the face cover after replacing the light bulb.
