STITCHING
Changing Between Zigzag and Straight Stitch Modes
Examples of zigzag and straight stitching are shown in Figure 12 (as seen from the back
of carpet, 7/8” binding tape shown).
The machine is shipped in Zigzag mode. Change between Zigzag and Straight Stitch
modes as follows:
1. Turn the handwheel toward you until the needle returns to the highest point. Do not
make this adjustment with the needle below the needle plate or in the carpet.
Note:
This step must be done first to avoid breaking the needle.
2. Set the stitch control lever to the desired setting—right lever position is Zigzag, left
position is Straight Stitch.
3. Adjust the folder mounting bracket to the proper position. Zigzag position is shown in
Figure 13. The Straight Stitch position is approximately 1/4” to the left. Loosen the two
button head cap screws to adjust the bracket to the desired position.
When correctly adjusted the folder positions can be marked on the machine around the
mounting bracket using a permanent marker.
Use of the carpet guide is optional. If used, it should be aligned with the inside edge of the
folder mouth so it doesn’t block the opening. See Figure 14.
Preparing to Stitch
1. Change machine to Zigzag mode.
2. Grasp the upper thread and binding tape in your left hand, and pull back under feed
roller. Drop feed roller and run machine in short bursts until stitching occurs in binding
tape. The feed roller should move the tape as it stitches.
Stitching
1. Rotate handwheel towards you until needle is at highest point.
2. Insert carpet edge into folder mouth and up under needle.
3. Begin sewing. (It may be necessary to push material slightly at this point to engage
it under feed roller).
Note:
If stitch missed the tape on the bottom, refer to Folder Adjustments section.
