BEFORE STARTING TO SEW
When the machine is plugged in properly and threaded correctly it is ready for sewing. To insure good stitches,
make several sewing tests using the same fabric and thread on which you will sew. Make the proper adjustments
while test sewing.
Close front cover before beginning any sewing project.
starting to sew
1. Pull all threads under the presser foot and toward the back.
2. Lower the presser foot.
3. Turn handwheel toward you 2 or 3 times and check the
thread chain.
4. Press Foot Control lightly pulling threads toward back and
make thread chain about 5 cm (2 inches).
5. Place a scrap of fabric under the toe of the presser foot at
the position to be stitched.
6. Hold end of thread with your left hand when starting to sew.
when thread breaks
If the thread breaks while sewing, remove fabric from machine
and rethread as indicated below.
• Upper Looper Thread; turn handwheel toward you until the
upper looper is in the lowest position. Pass thread through the
looper hole.
• Lower Looper Thread; cut the needle threads near needle
hole; rethread the lower looper; rethread the needle/needles.
To begin sewing, place material 3-4 cm (1-2 inches) behind
point where thread broke.
end of seam
1. When the needle reaches the end of seam, chain off by
running the machine until the thread chain is 6-7 cm (2-3
inches) long.
2. Stop the machine and cut the thread chain leaving 3-4 cm (1-
2 inches) attached to the machine. Tie small knots in thread
ends and treat with dot of seam sealant. Let dry and trim
close to knot.
3. For neater finish, pull thread ends back through seam using
hook or yarn needle.
presser foot markings
The markings on the front of the presser foot line up directly in
front of the needles for guiding your fabric.
•
Left mark for the left needle.
•
Right mark for the right needle.
The toe opening in the presser foot is designed to guide a
stabilizing tape, narrow elastic or decorative ribbon into the
stitching.
Insert the tape or elastic into the slot and under the back of the
foot.
