Presser Foot Definitions
A: STANDARD METAL FOOT A
This footcomes attachedtoyour machine. It is
mainly used for straight stitches and zigzag stitches
longer than 1.0. The button locksthe foot in a hori-
zontal position helping to sewover multiple layered
seams.
C: OVERLOCK FOOT (optional)
Prevent fabricedges fromraveling by finishingthe
edge witha zigzag stitch. Thebrush on the foot
helpsthe stitch lie flatter andreduces puckering. Use
withmedium weight fabrics.
D: HEMMER FOOT (optional)
Insert the fabric into thespiral on this foot. The spiral
rollsthe fabric,creating arolled hem.An easy, pro-
fessional way to sewhems.
E: ZIPPERFOOT
Use when sewing zippers into place to avoid the foot
riding on topof the zipper coil. Attacheither to the
left or rightof theneedleto seweach sideof the zip-
per.
F: SATIN STITCH FOOT
The cutout onthe underside of the foot is designed
toaccommodatedense stitch formation. Ideal when
sewing satin and decorative stitches.
G: BLIND HEM FOOT, ADJUSTABLE
The adjustable guide on the foot helps ensure that
the needlecatches only oneor two fibersof the
hem,resulting inan invisible hemline.The guide can
also be adjusted to createpintucks.
R:AUTOMATIC BUTTONHOLEFOOT
Place button in foot to determine the buttonhole size.
The machine will automatically sewthe correspond-
ing buttonhole.
QUILT GUIDE
The quilt guide is helpful when sewingparallel,
evenly spaced rows of stitching.

Extension Table (Accessory Storage Box)
and Free Arm
ExtensionTable
The extension table provides moresewing space to
makesewing easier. The extension can be easily
removed for freearmsewing.
Free arm sewing is good for circle areas like sleeves,
waistbands and pant legs. If socks, knee or elbow
areasneed mending, the freearm will be best to
use.
Pull the end of the extension table away from the
machine, as shown in the drawing.
Push the table back into place to reattach the exten-
sion table.
Using the Fine Adjustment Dial
Choice of fabrics andthreads may affect the stitch
formation whensewing decorative stitchesor button-
holes. The fine adjustment dial can be used to either
lengthen or shorten the stitch.

How To Drop the Feed Dog
The feeddog drops out of position for special sewing
techniques: free motion embroidery, button sewing,
etc.
The feeddog must alwaysbe up for regular sewing.

arm. Slide the lever either to theright (down) j or to
the left (up) k . To bring up the feeddog, hand turn
the flywheelafter sliding lever to the left.
Foot Pressure Dial
Set thepressure dial j at “3” for regular sewing.
Reduce thepressure to “2” for applique, cutwork,
drawn work, basting and embroidery.
Veloursandknits with a lot of stretch may requirea
“1” setting.
Attaching and Removing Presser Feet
Press the key until the needle is in theraised posi-
tion. Raise the presser foot and press the redbutton
j on backof theshank. Thepresser foot will drop
off. Place the selectedpresser foot so the pin l on
the foot lies just under the groove k of the shank.
Lower the presser bar to attach the foot.
Attaching and Removing Shank
Turn the thumbscrew j counterclockwise with the
screwdriver toremovethe shank.
To attach, match the hole in the shank k with the
hole in the presser bar l . Put thumbscrewin hole
and turn clockwise to tighten.

Adjusting the Needle Thread Tension
Choosing the Correct Tension - Straight Stitch
The idealstraight stitchwill have threads locked be-
tween the two layersof fabric, as shown left (magni-
fied toshowdetail). Needle threadtension can range
from 3 – 5 and isnormally set on 4 j .
If you look at the needlethread k (top thread) and
bobbin thread l (bottom thread), you will notice that
there are no gaps. Eachstitch is smoothand even.
Occasionally the needle threadtension needs to be
adjusted.Examples:
− stifforheavyfabric
− sewing more than two layers of fabric
− typeof stitch
− thread
Whenadjusting needlethread tension, the higher
numbers tighten, the lower numbers loosen.
•Tension is too tight
The bobbin thread shows through on the topside of
the fabricand it will feelbumpy.
Turn the dial toa lower number to loosen the needle
thread tension.
•Tension is too loose
The needle thread shows through on the underside
of the fabric and it will feel bumpy.
Turn the dial to ahigher number to tighten the
needle thread tension.
•Adjusting Tension for Zigzag and Satin
Stitches
The upper thread tension should be slightly looser
when sewing a zigzag or a satinstitch. The upper
thread should appear slightlyon the underside of the
fabric.

SECTION II
Getting Ready to Sew
Selecting the Correct Needle and Thread
There are many kinds of fabrics, threadsand
needles. It is important touse the correct ones to-
gether.
Alwayspurchase good quality thread. It should be
strong, smooth and even in thickness. Use the same
thread for needle and bobbin. Alwaystest thread and
needlesize onascrappiece of fabric.
Ingeneral, fine threads (the larger the number, the
finer the thread) and needles (the smaller the num-
ber, the finer theneedle) areused for sewing light-
weight fabrics andheavier threads and larger
needles are used for sewing heavyweight fabrics.
Therearemanyspecialty needlesavailablefrom
your sewing machine dealer.
Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt
tips. Snags andruns in knits, fine silks and silk-like
fabrics are permanent and are often caused by dam-
aged needles.
Changing Needles
1. Press the needle key toraise the needle.
Lower thepresser foot. Turn off thepower
switch. Turn the needleclamp screw • counter-
clockwise to loosen.
2. Removetheneedle from theclamp.Insert the
newneedle into needle clamp ‚ with the flat
side to theback, pushing it up as far as it will go.
Tightentheclampscrewfirmly.
3. To determine if the needleisdefective,place the
flat side of the needleonsomething flat
(aneedle plate, piece of glass, etc.). The gap
between the needle and the flat surface should
be consistent.
Never use a bent or blunt needle, as it may
cause skipped stitches or thread breakage. De-
fective needlescanruinthe fabric. Alwayspur-
chase good quality needles. Change needles
often.

switch „ . Insert the foot control plug • andmachine
plug ‚ into the machine and the power supply plug
ƒ intothe wallsocket.
Your machine may comeequipped with a polarized
plug (one prong wider than the other). Apolarized
plug reduces the risk of electrical shock. This plug is
intendedto fit intoapolarizedoutlet. If theplug does
not fit fully intothe outlet,reverse theplug. If itstill
doesnot fit, contact aqualified electrician toinstall
the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug inany way.
IMPORTANT: Whenusingyoursewingmachinethe
first fewtimes, place waste fabric under the presser
foot and run the machine without thread for a few
minutes. Wipeaway excessoil.
For Your Safety
Do not use extension cords or plug adapters.
Do not touchplug with wet hands.
Always turnoff the power/light switch first and then
unplug fromtheelectricaloutlet.Examples:
• when leaving the machine unattended
• when cleaning the machine
Always turnoff the power/light switch:
• when attaching or removing parts such as
needle, presser foot, needleplate
• when threading needle or bobbin
Do not placeanything on the foot control.
Do not placeheavy items on cords. Do not subject
cords to heat. Do not use damaged cords. Have the
cordrepairedimmediately.
While the machine is inoperation, always keep your
eye on the sewing area and do not touch any mov-
