1. Installation and Threading of Binding Tape:
Included with your machine are:
• Large Black Plastic Discs (2)
• Tape Reel Centering Plug
• Binding Tape (1 Roll)
Mount the tape reel:
• Place the inner disc on spindle with smooth side to face tape reel.
• Slide the plug onto spindle.
• Place tape reel on centering plug in a manner that tape will feed off reel in a CLOCKWISE direction.
• Slide remaining disc onto spindle. Allow space for free tape feed.
• Lightly tighten thumb screw.
REMEMBERI
Tape reel MUST roll freely between discs.
Threading Tape:
• Trim tape end to provide a long sharp point.
• Start tape end into folder inlet (do not thread through tension spring at this time).
• Using a tweezer, point in the folder slot, push the tape until you can grasp tape end at
folder exit.
• Pull several inches of tape through folder and out under the needle, (as it would appear
while stitching).
• Tape as being fed from reel to folder, can now be through the tape guide closest to the folder
(one guide is recommended).
2. Preparation for Stitching:
• Set the Zig-zag-straight stitch selector to Zig-zag.
• Grasp the upper thread and tape end in your left hand, and with a slight pulling pressure away
from you, and in a straight line, run machine in short bursts until stitching occurs in binding tape.
3. Stitching:
• Raise feed roller.
• Rotate hand wheel towards you until needle is at highest point.
• Insert material edge into folder groove and up to needle foot.
• Drop feed roller.
• Begin sewing. (It may be necessary to push material slightly at this point to engage it under
feed roller.
