OPERATION
Adjusting the tension of the upper thread
When sewing with straight stitch, the upper and lower threads are
connected to each other between the fabric parts.
1. Select the appropriate tension for the thread tensioning disc by means
of the thread tension adjusting wheel (10).
(A) Newly adjusted value
The lower the numerical value, the lower the tension of the upper thread.
To lower the tension of the upper thread, turn the adjusting wheel as
indicated in the figure on the right.
The higher the numerical value, the higher the tension of the upper thread.
To increase the tension of the upper thread, turn the adjusting wheel as
indicated in the figure on the right.
Tension of the upper thread with regard to zig-zag stitch:
In order to achieve good results when sewing with zig-zag stitches, the
tension of the upper thread should be lower than when sewing with
straight stitch. The upper thread should be visible on the back side of
the sewing part.
Stitch pattern rotary switch
1. Move the needle out of the fabric.
2. Select the desired stitch pattern by means of the adjusting wheel (14).
3. For the elastic stitches (lower row), select the desired number by means
of the stitch pattern rotary switch (14).
By means of the stitch length rotary switch (13; see below), you adjust
the lower stitch pattern row by positions 1-10.
Buttonholes are sewed with the symbols (A), see page 25.
