Note: In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics, Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual sewing.
Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a STRETCH needle. The STRETCH needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent yarn distortion.

CHANGING THE NEEDLE

1. Turn the balance wheel towards you until the needle is in its highest position.
2. Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning its top edge towards you. Remove the needle from the clamp.
3. Place the new needle into the needle clamp with it s flat side facing away from you. Push the needle up into needle clamp as far as possible.
4. Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly.

TO SELECT A SUITABLE NEEDLE

A number indicating the sizof needle is marked on the stem. The higher the number, the thicker the needle.
A STRETCH needle is recommended for stretch fabrics.

• Do not use any needle which is bent or blunted.

REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE PRESSER FOOT

To Remove:

1. Turn the balance wheel towards you until the needle is at its highest position.
2. By lifting the lever on the back of the foot holder, the presser foot will drop off. Note: *Do not force the presser foot to remove it.

To Attach:

1. Place the presser foot so that the pin on the foot lies just under the groove of the foot holder. Lower the foot holder.
2. When the presser foot lifter is raised youll fin d the presser foot is locked in place.

REGULATING THE THREAD TENSION

Generally, should any tension adjustment be necessary, the adjustment can normally be made by regulating the upper thread tension dial only. Bobbin thread tension has been adjusted at the factory and readjustment is seldom required except for special instances, thread and fabric.
Bobbin thread tension is just right when you can pull the thread from bobbin case easily with a little resistance.
Thread tension may be adjusted by tightening or loosening the thread tension dial. * How to adjust the bobbin thread tension

Remember the higher the number, the tighter the tension. Correctly balanced tensions for one fabric may not be suitable for another. The required tension depends upon the stiffness of fabric, thickness of the fabric,
numbers of layers of fabric being sewn, as well as the type of stitch you are making. It is better to test the stitching on a scrap of the fabric you are using before starting to make a garment. The general range for many fabrics is 3-5.
STITCH LENGTH DIAL ( Model 377B and 374 only)
To change the length of the stitches proceed as follows:
Turn the dial so that the number for the required stitch length is at setting mark. The numbers indicate the approximate stitch length in mm. The smaller the numbers, the shorter the stitch.

REVERSE STITCH:
