   Note: For smooth threading it is recommended you select straight stitching when using the needle threader. 

Buttonhole stitch

Tips:
Slightly reduce the upper tension to produce better results.
Use backing material for fine or stretchy materials.
We recommend placing a pin across
the end of the buttonhole as a precaution against cutting the stitches with the seam ripper. It is advisable to use gimp cord for stretch or knit fabrics.
The zigzag should sew over the gimp. The lines on the buttonhole foot can be used guides when sewing multiple buttonholes.

1. Lift the presser foot, pull the gimp cord and come round the protruding point on back of the buttonhole foot.
2. Pull the gimp cord under the foot to the front.
3. Fix the gimp cord to the protruding point on front of foot.
4. Turn the needle down to the starting position on fabric, put down the presser foot.
5. Sew the buttonhole according to page 38.
6. Pull the gimp cord straightly.
7. Cut the gimp cord.

Zipper application Attach the zipper foot. When sewing the right side of the zipper, attach the zipper foot as the illustration in right. When sewing the left side of the zipper, attach the zipper foot as the illustration in right. ****

Drawing up the bobbin thread

1. Raise the presser foot and hold the needle thread lightly with you left hand.
2. Turn the hand wheel slowly towards you with your right hand until the needle goes down and continue turning the hand wheel until the take-up lever is at its highest position. Lightly draw up the needle thread forming a loop of the bobbin thread.
3. Pull 15cm (6 inches) of both thread back and under the presser foot.

Balancing top thread tension
The top thread and the bobbin thread should interlock in the center of two layers of fabric in straight seams.
Set the desired number of the thread tension dial at setting mark.
Note: In order to obtain better zigzag stitches, the top thread tension should be slightly weaker than the bobbin thread tension. That means, the top thread should appear slightly on the reverse side of the fabric, but the bobbin thread cannot appear on the top side of the fabric.

Buttonhole stitch

Replace the buttonhole foot.

• Before you sew the actual buttonholes on the actual garment, make several practice buttonholes on a fabric sample.
• Use interfacing on stretch fabrics.
• B. Lower the needle at the starting point. Then lower buttonhole foot. Sew the needed length on the left side of buttonhole ant stop the machine.
• C. Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the hand wheel, then select rn.
• D. Raise the needle to its highest position and select H sew the right side of buttonhole the same length as the left side and stop the machine.
• E. Raise the needle and select rn. and sew five of the bartack stitches.
• F. Raise the presser foot and draw out the fabric, cut both top thread and bobbin thread leaving about 10cm of thread ends, and tie it on the wrong side of the fabric.
• G. Cut open the buttonhole with seam ripper.

Needle, thread and fabric chart

Your fabric will determine the choice of a needle and thread. The following table is a practical guide to needle and thread selection. Always refer to it before a new sewing project. And be sure to use the same size and type of thread in the bobbin as in the top thread supply.

Changing the needle

1. Raise the needle by turning hand wheel toward you and lower the presser foot.
2. Rotate the needle clamp screw toward you (counter-clockwise) to loosen the needle.
3. Remove the needle from the clamp.
4. Insert the new needle into the needle clamp with the flat side away from you.
5. 6. When inserting the needle into the clamp, push it up as far as it will go.
6. Tighten the clamp screw clockwise firmly with the screwdriver.
   Note: Tighten snugly, but do not over tighten.
   Helpful Hint: Placing a scrap of fabric under the presser foot and lowering the presser foot makes it easier to change the needle and will preclude dropping the needle into the needle plate slot.

Sewing buttons

Position your fabric and button under the presser foot. Lower presser foot. Turn the handwheel to make sure needle clears both left and right openings of button. Adjust width if required. Sew 10 stitches across.
When attaching four-hole buttons, first sew the two holes closest to you. Then, slide the button so that the needle goes into the two holes toward the rear of the sewing machine, and then sew them in the same way.
To secure thread, cut the upper thread with 25cm of excess, wind it around the thread between the button and the fabric, and then tie it tightly.

Pattern selector dial
Raise the needle above the fabric and select the desired pattern at the setting mark by turning the pattern selector dial.

Selecting stretch stitch patterns

When sewing stretch, set the stitch length dial at “S1” or “S2″.
When forward and reverse feeds become unbalanced depending upon the type of fabric, correct the hand as follows.
When patterns are compressed, correct it by turning the dial toward”+”. When patterns are drawn out, correct it by turning the dial toward”-“.

Stitch length dial
The higher the number, the longer the stitch length. You can select the suitable stitch length for most fabric

Tricot stitch
Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the edge will be slightly inside the right hand side of the presser foot.
Guide the work so the right hand stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.

Triple strength stitch
The stitch is sewn with two stitches forward and one stitch backward forming a seam that does not rip easily.
Garments should be basted for fitting before seaming.

Useful sewing tips

Various ways to achieve better sewing results are described below. Refer to these tips when sewing.

1. Trial sewing
   Use different stitch width and length for trial sewing. When you have finished, select the best looking stitch width and length for correct sewing.
   For the trial sewing, use a piece of fabric and thread that are the same as those used for your project, and check the thread tension and stitch length and width. Since the results differ depending on the type of stitching and the number of fabric layers sewn, perform the trial sewing under the same conditions that will be used with your project.

2. Changing the sewing direction
   Stop the machine and turn the hand wheel toward you to bring the needle down into the fabric. Raise the presser foot.
   Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing direction as desired. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing.

3. Sewing curves

4.  Stop sewing, and then slightly change the sewing direction to sew around the curve.

5.  When sewing along a curve while using a zigzag stitch, select a shorter length in order to obtain a finer stitch.

6. Sewing thick fabrics
   If the fabric does not fit under the presser foot
   Raise the presser foot even higher to bring the presser foot to its highest position. Then feed the fabric under the presser foot. (See page 10 to Raise the presser foot.)

7. Sewing elastic fabric or the fabric that is easy to cause skipping stitches
   Use round head needle and bigger stitch length. If necessary, add one layer of lining cloth under the fabric for better sewing.

8. Sewing thin fabric or silk
   When sewing thin fabric or silk, the stitch may depart from correct direction or cannot feed the fabric correctly. If so, add one layer of lining cloth under the fabric for better sewing.

9. Sewing stretch fabrics
   First, baste the piece of fabric together, and then sew without stretching the fabric.

10. Free arm sewing
    When sewing tube fabric or the part cannot reach, use the free arm sewing function (For detail, refer to page 10).

Zigzag stitch
Simple zigzag stitching is widely used for overcastting, sewing on buttons etc.

Overlock stitch
This type of stitch is used on the seam allowance to prevent fabrics from fraying at raw edges. 

Utility stitches

Straight stitch

Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a stitching guide line on the needle plate. Lower the needle into the fabric.
Lower the presser foot and smooth the thread towards the back. Depress the foot control. Gently guide the fabric along the guide line letting the fabric feed by itself.
For fastening the ends of seams, press the reverse stitch button and sew several reverse stitches.
Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric, drawing the threads to back.
The threads are cut the proper length for starting the next seam.
