slot.

• Sew a few stitches on the tape.
• Loosen the setscrew (A) and adjust the tape guide to suit the width of the
tape (B).

Thread breakage during sewing

lower looper thread has broken, cut off both needle threads at the needles
and remove surplus thread from below. First thread the looper and then the
needles. Start sewing again about 2 - 3 cm in front of the break.
