Test Sewing
Checking the Tension Discs
To ensure that the threads are properly
inserted into the tension discs, thread the
machine.
Raise the presser foot to open the tension
discs and pull the threads forward about
10 cm (4").
Controlling Sewing Speed
Sewing speed varies with the foot control.
The harder you press on the foot control,
the faster the machine runs.
Setting Foot Pressure
The standard setting is position 3. Move the
knob to increase or decrease the foot
pressure depending on the type of fabric.
There are five positions.
Waste Tray
Attach the waste tray to the front cover. The
tray will catch fabric scraps that are cut off.
