Basic Machine Operation (Panel Mode)
Note: The puller roller has sharp edges. Keep hands and fingers away from
the puller roller while loading the material under the presser foot.
Switch the Panels / Frames switch to Panels mode (up).
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. Adjust the position of
the overhead rollers to keep the gusset aligned with the folder.
