After changing the needle, make one complete revolution, of the hand wheel by hand to be sure the needle is in the correct position Fig. 8 Fig, 9 Note: (1) Never use a bent needle or one with a blunt point as this will cause imperfect and skipped stitches, (2) The size of the needle should conform to the size of the thread and material used (See chart ~ Page 4) (3) For best results change needles frequently,PLACING BOBBIN CASE IN MACHINE Raise needle bar to highest position, and open cover plate, (See 18 Fig. 1) Hold the bobbin case latch (D,Fig. 10), between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, with at least three inciws of thread running from Uw top of the bobbin case to the left, Insert and center the bobbin case on the stud of the shuttle body, (C).

Select-them as follows: (1) Take up and needle bar at their highest positions. (2) Turn selector knob “A” (Fig, 14) clockwise (to the right) (3) "8" position creative embroidery. (4) Buttonholes - made in various sizes and length without turning the material (5) Blind hem » this will save you many hours of tedious hand work. (6) Scallop design - for decorative use. (7) Multiple zigzag stitch - for evercasting and mending, sewing elastic. (a) Stretch stitch - for sewing the knits, overcasting, reinforced straight stitch,PREPARING TO SEW Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding by pulling the material as this may deflect the needle and cause it to break. Never run machine without material under presser foot. Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot. You are now ready to begin sewing. By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary to touch the hand wheel to start the machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control. HOW TO SEW Straight ° ’ > FABRIC SELECTOR ‘The feed can be regulated for various materials and types of sewing by the use of a fabric selector knob, Their positions are: ws Normal setting ey LOW" For fine materials sch sik, nylon, oF rayon, ee ¢ “DOWN” :For embroidery or button sewing only. |ooww uw PRESSURE CONTROL BY DARNER Fig 31 This darner allows you to adjust the pressure on the presser foot from strong to very light and serves, with the fabric selector, as an aid to perfect darning, embroidery, applique or other work that requires you to control the direction of the stitch independently of the feed action. . For ordinary family sewing, it is seldom necessary to change the pressure, however, when sewing on heavy, bulky material @ lighter Pressure will help. Also the same thing applies when sewing on the knits ete., and one of the pieces of material being sewn together lends up longer than the other Fig. 32 To adjust Press lock ring “A"( Fig. 32) down which wil allow"8"to snap up into the darning positon, Press cap “B down only as far 2¢ needed to obtain desired pressure. The pressure should be only heavy enough to prevent the material from rising with the needle and to enable the feed to move the wark along evenly. -2-EMBROIDERY AND MONOGRAMMING ‘Set your machine as follows: ' Needle position "a" postion Patter incator +3" postion | | Stich term ia "3 gra with love beoveen "0" and "5" Fave elector “DOWN Press fot Emridery foot or nothing Nese pe ene | Presreof dare fetesed ‘The technique is somewhat like having a stationary pen and moving the paper beneath it in drawing, and with little practice, You will be able to embroider as well as you can draw or trace with paper and pen.
