NEEDLE / FABRIC / THREAD GUIDE

• There are various styles of needles available for your machine, depending on the type of fabric you are sewing. Be sure to use the correct style and size of needle to achieve the best results for your sewing projects.
• The most common needle styles are regular point and ball point. The most commonly used sizes are: 11/80, 14/90 and 16/100. The smaller the number is, the smaller the needle size is. The larger the number is, the larger the needle is. Use smaller size needles for lighter weight fabrics and larger size needle for heavier weight fabrics. The chart below offers some suggestions for matching thread type and needle type with various fabrics, for best results.
• Regular point needles are designed for use with fabrics that are woven, such as cotton, linen, silk, denim or twill. The style number for this needle is 2020.
• Ball point needles are designed for use with fabrics that are stretch knit, such as spandex,t-shirt knit or tricot. The style number for this needle is 2045.

INSERTING / CHANGING NEEDLES

• Change the needle regularly, especially if it is showing signs or wear or causing problems.
• To insert a new needle, first turn the Power On/Off & Speed Control Switch to the “off” position.
• Loosen the needle clamp screw.
• Remove the old needle and discard it.
• Insert the new needle, with the flat side toward the back, as far up as it will go.
• Tighten the needle clamp screw securely.
• Problem scan be ur wite A Bent needles B. Damaged points C. Blunt needles

PRESSER FOOT LIFTER

• The Presser Foot Lifter is located inside the “C” area of the machine. Use this to raise and lower the presser foot.
• Raise the Presser Foot Lifter before beginning to thread the machine, to ensure that the machine is properly threaded.
• Raise it also to remove work from the machine when sewing is finished. Lower the Presser Foot Lifter after setting fabric under the presser foot, to begin sewing.

REMOVING / ATTACHING THE PRESSER FOOT

• Turn the Power On/Off & Speed Control Switch to the “off” position and make sure the needle is in its highest position.

Removing the Presser Foot

• Raise the Presser Bar by lifting the Presser Foot Lifter. Press the Presser Foot Lever, located in back of the Presser Foot Holder and the foot will disengage.

Attaching the Presser Foot

• Raise the presser foot using the Presser Foot Lifter. Place the foot under the presser foot holder,
• The preset pril engage due at the cut-out is directly above the pin.

WINDING THE BOBBIN

1. Put a spool of thread on spool pin.
2. Guide the thread through the bobbin winder tension disk on the upper side of the machine.
3. Put the bobbin on the bobbin winder pin, wind thread clockwise around bobbin several times.
4. Push bobbin to the left.
5. Switch on the machine to start winding.
6. Switch off the machine to stop winding after appropriate volume of thread you wanted had winded on bobbin.
7. Push bobbin away from bobbin winder stop, take bobbin off the pin and cut the thread.

CAUTION:

• During bobbin winding, no thread on the needle/take up lever is allowed.
• Please take thread off from it before bobbin winding.
• Before bobbin winding ‚raise the presser foot.

INSERTING THE BOBBIN

• To insert the bobbin, first remove the bobbin cover plate.
• Place the bobbin into the bobbin case.
• Pull the thread tail to check that the bobbin turns in a counter-clockwise direction.
• If it turns in a clockwise direction, remove it from the bobbin case, turn it over and replace it into the bobbin case.
• Pull the thread tail again to ensure that it moves in a counter-clockwise direction.

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD

• Threading the upper thread is a simple process, but it must be done correctly in order to achieve the correct sewing results.
• Turn the Power On/Off & Speed Control Switch to the “off” position before threading the machine.
• Start by raising the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you (counter-clockwise), and continue turning until the needle just starts to descend.
• Raise the presser foot lifter, which will release the tension of the machine.
  • Note: This step is very important. If the presser foot is not raised so that the tension is released, the result will be a large thread jam on the underside of the fabric when you start to sew.
• Turn the handwheel toward you until the needle and take-up lever are in their highest positions.

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD

• Place the spool base, thread and spool cap onto the spool pin.
• If the thread spool is smaller in size, the spool pin can remain in a horizontal position.
  • Note: If the thread spool has a slit on the end of it, put that end toward the right so that the thread doesn’t get caught on it while sewing.
• If the thread spool is larger in size, and therefore does not feed properly when it is placed onto the spool pin horizontally, move the spool pin to the vertical position.
• If the vertical position is used, loosen the spool cap slightly or completely remove it, so that it doesn’t prevent the spool from turning while sewing.

Thread the machine with your left hand while firmly gripping the thread with your right hand in the order shown:

1. Guide the thread through the thread guide at the top of the machine.
2. Pull the thread into the tension discs by pulling the thread down into the channel, as shown.
3. Do a U-turn around the inside of the tab.
4. Pass the thread through the thread take-up lever from right to left.
5. Place the thread into the thread guide.
6. Pass the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back.

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD

RAISING THE BOBBIN THREAD

• Before you start to sew, it will be necessary to draw up the bobbin thread.
• Raise the presser foot lifter.
• Holding the needle thread loosely with your left hand, turn the hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise) with your right hand, first lowering the needle and continuing untilthe needle comes to its highest position.
• Lightly pull up the top thread, and pick up the bobbin thread, which will appear through the needle plate slot.
• Pull both the top and bobbin thread together toward the back of the machine, under the presser foot, leaving about 6″ clear.
• Replace the bobbin cover plate.

CHOOSING A STITCH PATTERN

The Pattern Selector Dial is used to select the stitch you want to sew. The numbers on the dial directly correspond to the display on the front of the machine. Simply turn the dial until the number of the stitch that you want to sew lines up with the red dot marking above the dial.

STRAIGHT STITCHING

The straight stitch is the most frequently used stitch for all types of sewing.

1. To begin sewing, first raise the presser foot lifter.
2. Pull both the upper thread and the bobbin thread under the presser foot toward the back of the machine, leaving about 6″ of thread.
3. Place the fabric under the presser foot, then lower the presser foot lifter.
4. Turn the hand wheel counter-clockwise (toward you) until the needle enters the fabric.
5. Start the machine by stepping on the foot controller. Guide the fabric with your hands. When reaching the edge of the fabric, stop the sewing machine.
6. Turn the hand wheel counter-clockwise (toward you) until the needle is in its highest position, then raise the presser foot lifter.
7. Draw the fabric to the rear and cut off excess thread with the thread cutter, located on the side of the machine, as shown.

THREAD TENSION

• Having selected the correct needle and thread combination for the fabric being used, it may be necessary to adjust the tension of the sewing machine to ensure a well balanced stitch.
• A well-balanced stitch is produced when the top and under thread appear the same on the fabric.
• Your machine has an adjustable top tension dial. This control exerts tension on the top and under thread as they pass through the machine to form a stitch.
• Too much tension will produce a tight stitch which will cause puckered seams.
• Too little tension will produce a loose stitch.
• When an even amount of tension is exerted on both threads, a smooth even stitch, known as a well-balanced stitch, is produced.
• Notice the machine tension dial is marked from 1 through 9, and that the settings of 3, 4 and 5 are further distinguished by a small square. The settings of 3, 4 and 5 represent the general range at which most of your sewing will be done.

How Does Tension Work?

• To help understand the effect of tension on fabric and thread, try this simple test.
• Take 2 pieces of a medium weight woven fabric in a solid, light color about 6″ long. Place a 2020 size 14 needle in the machine.
• Thread the top of the machine with an all-purpose thread (darker color), and place the same type of thread (lighter color) in the bobbin.
• Set the machine for Stitch #3, one of the Straight Stitch selections.
• Seam the two pieces of fabric together starting with the top tension control at 1. As you continue to sew, slowly turn the tension dial from 1 through 9.
• Sew another row, turning the dial back to 1. You should see a balanced stitch on each row about midway between the start and finish.
• The different colored threads will help you see the effect that tension has on the top and bottom threads.

Tension Test
To verify that the machine is threaded properly in the tension discs, do this simple check:

1. With the presser foot raised and the needle unthreaded, pull the thread. You should detect only a slight resistance and little or no deflection of the needle.
2. Now lower the presser foot and again pull the thread toward the back of the machine. This time you should detect a considerable amount of resistance and much more deflection of the needle. If you do not detect the resistance, this means you have not threaded the upper machine tension correctly and need to rethread it.

REVERSE SEWING / CUTTING THE THREAD

• Reverse sewing is usually done at the beginning and end of  a seam. The purpose is to lock the threads at both ends of the seam so that the seam does not unravel.
• Plate the abric torera presser sidesidding on hawai so are saving.
• Lower the presser foot and sew about 3 stitches.
  • NOTE: The length of the stitch when sewing in reverse is pre-set, regardless of the selected stitch.
• Stop it wine you sew siches te Reverse Lever, located on the front of the machine.
• Release the lever and sew forward again, until you come to the opposite end of the fabric.
• Press and hold the Reverse Lever to sew in reverse again for about 3 stitches.
• Eila presle other ten removin the work tom the machine.
• To cut the thread tails, hold the fabric in your left hand.
• Bring it up from behind the machine, then place the thread tails into the thread trimmer on the side of the machine.
• Pull down until the threads are trimmed.

ZIG-ZAG STITCHING

The Zig-Zag stitch can be used for seam finishing, applique work or decorative sewing.
Seam Finishing
Seam edges support the garment and should be given a durable finishing, particularly if the fabric is likely to ravel.
There are two different ways to finish seams: Trimming after stitching the seam edge or overedging. Try the techniques on a scrap fabric first to determine which is right for your project.

1. Overedged Seam Finish
   • Set the machine for Stitch #14 or #15 and attach the Satin Foot. Sew, with the right side of the stitch at the edge of the seam. Trim the seam edges evenly.
2. Decorative Stitching
   • Add a personal touch to your projects by embellishing with decorative threads.
   • Mix different types and colors of thread to create border-like finishes on garments, home decor, crafts and more.
   • Set the machine for Stitch #7, #8 or #9, depending on the look you want. Attach the Satin Foot.
   • If a heavier weight thread (such as top stitching thread) will be used, be sure to change the needle to a larger size as well.

• To stitch the appliqué sew so that the right swing of the stitch falls off the outer edge of the applique ariosing the raw edge of the fabric. The left swing of the stitch goes into the appliqué fabric.

BLIND HEM STITCHING

The Blind Hem stitch is primarily used for creating nearly invisible hems on various types of projects such as curtains, trousers, skirts, etc. There are two different blind hem stitch selections on the machine: the standard blind hem stitch (for hems on woven fabrics) and the stretch blind hem stitch (for hems on stretch knit fabrics). Set the machine to Stitch # 8 & 9 for the standard blind hem stitch, or set the machine to Stitch  #10 for the stretch blind hem stitch. Insert the appropriate needle for the fabric to behemmed (see the Needle, Fabric & Thread Chart for recommendations). Thread the top of the machine and bobbin with a thread color that matches or blends as closely as possible to the color of the item to be hemmed.

1. Fold and pin the fabric, as shown.
2. Place the fabric under the blind hem presser foot with the fold of the fabric positioned so that the needle just pierces the fold when the needle swings to the left. Be sure to remove pins as you sew.
3. When finished, fold the hem down and press.

MULTI ZIG-ZAG STITCHING

The multi-stitch zig-zag is a very versatile stitch. Use it to mend, insert elastic or simply as a decorative embellishment.
Mending a Tear

• Set the machine for Stitch # 11and attach the Satin Foot.
• Trim any loose threads from the torn area.
• For reinforcement of the torn area, place an underlay of interfacing or small fabric scrap (similar fabric type and color) behind the tear.
• Working from the right side, bring the edges of the tear together and then sew.
• Use a hand sewing needle to pull the threads to the wrong side, then tie and clip.
• Trim away the excess underlay.

Elastic Insertion

• Elastic is easily applied with the multi-stitch zig-zag. The elasticity of this stitch prevents the stitches from breaking when the elastic is stretched.
• Set the machine for Stitch#11and attach the Satin Foot.
• If repairing a garment with broken elastic, first remove the old elastic from the garment,then press.
• Divide both the elastic and the area of the garment where the elastic will be sewn, into quarters. Place a pin at the quarter markings on both the elastic and the garment.
• Gently pull the elastic to cove the fabric evenly as you sew.

MANUAL BUTTONHOLE

1. Put the cloth under the presser foot and lower the presser foot on the cloth where you need to sew buttonhole, then choose the stitch #19.
2. Turn on the switch and sew 5-6 stitch in low speed, then turn off the switch (Fig. a).
3. Choose the stitch #18, turn on switch and sew on the cloth in suitable length, then turn off switch. Note that try to keep sewed stitch in straight line (Fig. b).
4. Choose the stitch #19, then turn switch and sew 5-6 stitch in low speed, then turn off switch (Fig. c).
5. Choose the stitch #20 then turn on switch and sew till buttonhole is fully sewed (Fig. d).

DARNING PLATE

• For some sewing techniques such as sewing on buttons, the Darning Plate must be used.
• The Darning Plate prevents the feed dogs from coming in contact with the fabric, so that the fabric doesn’t feed through.
• Soarin place no sure it is positioned heathe holtin the darning the ines up winto the opening for the needle on the needle plate.
• Turn the hand wheel toward you slowly, to ensure that the needle clears the hole in the
• Darning Plate.
• Remove the Darning Plate to return to normal sewing.

Sewing on a Button

• Set the machine for Stitch #15,#16 or #19 depending on the distance between the holes of the button.
• Position the fabric and button under the presser foot.
• Lower the presser foot.
• Turn the handwheel to make sure the needle clears both left and right hole
  • Note: It may be necessary to change to a different zig-zag stitch selection until you find the one that is appropriate for the button. To do so, raise the needle out of the fabric, select the new stitch. Lower the presser foot and then turn the handwheel to see if it clears the holes of the button.
• If ace you have determined the correct zig-zag stitch setting for the button, sew 10 stitches.
• If a button shank is required, place a needle on top of the button and sew over the top of it, as shown.
• When finished, pull both threads to the backsiddhod fabric using a hand needle, then tie together to secure.

CHANGING THE BULB

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply be removing the plug from the main socket.
• Replace the bulb with the same type rated (≤0.06W and LED Voltage ≤3.2V, Ф5).

Why is the thread looping/bunching under my fabric?

• Thread looping under your fabric is usually caused by not threading the upper tension correctly. With the presser foot lever in the UP position and tension set at 4, follow the threading guides/graphics on the top of the machine.
  • Place the thread spool on the spool pin and secure with a thread spool cap.
  • While holding the thread with your right hand, use your left hand to take the thread and take the thread and follow the thread path by bringing the thread down into the tension channel around the bottom and up the other side. Continue to thread the
• machine, but do not thread the needle.
• Before threading the needle, perform this easy test to make sure the upper thread is threaded correctly. Making sure the presser foot is raised, pull the thread.
• It should pull easily. Now lower the presser foot, the thread should now resist when you pull it.
• There should be a significant increase in the tension of the thread. If there is no increased tension, the machine is not threaded correctly.

Why is my machine skipping stitches?

• Skipped stitches can occur if needles are damaged or dull, or if they are incorrectlyinserted into the machine.
• First, your needle may be dull or damaged and need to be replaced. You should also check that you are using the correct needle for the type of fabric you are sewing. Refer to the Needle/Fabric/Thread/Guide on page 11 of this manual.
• Next, check that the needle is installed correctly. The needle needs to be pushed as far up the needle shaft as possible. (It’s easy to insert the needle halfway, clamp it down and think it is installed correctly.) Also, the flat part of the needle should be positioned
• towards the back. If the needle is not installed correctly, it will not be able to pull up the bobbin thread and will cause skipped stitches.
