Basic Machine Operation
Loading the Gusset Roll and Unwinder
Remove the small disc from the Unwinder
spindle. Load the gusset (or border) roll onto the
Unwinder spindle so the good side is up and the
flange is toward the large disc as the material
comes off the roll to the left. The gusset must
pass through the guide rod with the Loop Eye so
that the Loop Eye will see the material when the
loop gets too high. Replace the small disc onto
the spindle with just enough pressure on the roll
to cause it to turn with the spindle. Heal back on
the treadle to activate the Unwinder and create a
loop of gusset as you continue to load the
machine. If the Unwinder runs in the wrong
direction, flip the direction switch located on the
main control box. Feed the gusset over the top
rollers and down to the folder with the good side
toward the sewing head. (When making continental
foundations, the good side will face the operator)
Loading and Adjusting the Folder
Feed the gusset through the top portion
of the folder with the flange to the right and
under the right flange guide. Adjust the left
guide to make a snug fit to the gusset width.
Adjust the folder left or right as necessary to set
the desired stitch margin. Normally, with the
folder positioned to its right most position in its
slots, a 6" wide gusset will be centered on the
needle. The folder spacers should be sized as
required to fit the thickness of the gusset. Extra
spacers can be ordered to fit any thickness
gusset from 1/8" to 9/16". Adjust the lower
portion of the folder in the same manner.
Adjusting the Edge Guide
The edge guide located on the front of the
table should be set so its left edge aligns with
the right edge of the gusset. This is the guide for
the right edge of the panel.
