PRESSER FEET
7Utility Foot A
Attached on the machine upon delivery. This foot is used mainly for straight
stitching and zigzag stitching with a stitch length longer than 1.0.
7Presser Foot B
This foot is used when sewing short zigzag stitches, other utility or decorative
stitches and satin stitches with less than 1.0mm stitch length. The tunnel on the
underside of the foot is designed to feed smoothly over the stitches.
Blind Hem Foot D
This foot is used for blind hem stitches. The inner edge of this foot guides the
fabric. The right toe of the foot is designed to ride along the hem edge.
7Zipper Foot E
This foot can be snapped on either to the right or to the left of the needle.
This makes it easy to sew closely to both sides of the zipper teeth. Move needle
position to right or left to sew closer to zipper teeth or for covering cording.
Quilter’s 1/4” Piecing Foot P
This foot is used when piecing quilt blocks. The foot has seam guide marks 1/4”
(6 mm) and 1/8” (3 mm).
Buttonhole Slider Foot C
This foot has a space in the back to set the size of the buttonhole. The machine
will sew a buttonhole to that button size.

remove the packaging and lift off the cover.
The machine is delivered with an accessory
bag, a main cord, a foot control cord and a
hard cover. Wipe the machine, particularly
around the needle and needle plate to remove
any oil before sewing.
CONNECT TO THE POWER
SUPPLY
Among the accessories you will Ànd the power
cord and the foot control.
Note: Before connecting the power supply, make sure
that the voltage and frequency shown on the machine
are conforming with your electrical power.
For this sewing machine, foot control model

the free arm.
Polarized plug information
(For the USA and Canada)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade wider than the other), to reduce the
risk of electrical shock. This plug will Àt in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not Àt fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not Àt, contact a qualiÀed electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
CHANGING THE PRESSER FOOT
Turn off the main switch
Make sure the needle is in the highest
position. Pull the presser foot towards you.
Line up the cross pin on the foot with the gap
in the presser foot ankle. Press back until the
foot snaps into place.

CHANGING THE NEEDLE
Turn off the main switch
1. Loosen the needle screw.
2. Remove the needle.
3. Insert the new needle and push upwards
with the Áat side away from you until the
needle will go no further.
4. Tighten the needle screw.
PRESSER FOOT LIFTER
The presser foot is lowered or raised with the
presser foot lifter. If you are sewing on heavy
fabric or several layers of fabric, the presser
foot can be raised higher to make it easier to
place the fabric underneath the presser foot.
PRESSER FOOT UP SAFTEY
If you press START/STOP button, Reverse
or the foot control when the presser foot is
in the highest position, the sewing machine
will not be able to sew. Three warning beeps
inform you to lower the presser foot to begin
sewing.

10
NEEDLES
The sewing machine needle plays an important role
in successful sewing. To ensure you will get a quality
needle, we recommend INSPIRA™ needles of
system 130/705H. Below, Ànd a description of the
most frequently used needles for sewing on woven
and stretch fabrics.
Universal needle (A)
Universal needles have a slightly rounded point and
come in a variety of sizes. For general sewing in a
variety of fabric types and weights.
Stretch needle (B)
Stretch needles have a special shaft to eliminate
skipped stitches when there is a Áex in the fabric. For
knits, swimwear, Áeece, synthetic suedes and leathers.
Marked with a yellow band.
Embroidery needle (C)
Embroidery needles have a special scarf, a slightly
rounded point and a slightly larger eye to avoid
damage to thread and fabrics. Use with metallic and
other specialty threads for embroidery and decorative
sewing. Marked with a red band.
Denim needle (D)
Denim needles have a sharp point to penetrate tightly
woven fabrics without deÁecting the needle. For
canvas, denim, microÀbers. Marked with a blue band.
Wing needle (E)
The Wing needle has wide wings on the side of
the needle to poke holes in the fabric when sewing
entredeux and other hemstitches on natural Àber
fabrics.
Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight needle
with a sharp point (1). A damaged needle (2) can cause
skipped stitches, breakage of needles or snapping of thread. A
damaged needle can also damage the stitch plate.
Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (3) since they may
damage your sewing machine.

ABC D E

2. SET UP 11
SPOOL PINS
Your sewing machine has two spool pins, a
main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin.
The main horizontal spool pin (A) is used
for sewing with normal threads. The auxiliary
vertical spool pin (B) can be used for large
spools of thread or specialty threads.
Horizontal Position
Place the thread spool on the spool pin and
slide on the large spool cap. Make sure that
the spool cap is slightly larger than the thread
spool. Also make sure that the thread reels
over the top.
The the spool cap should be placed Àrmly
against the spool. There should be no space
between the spool cap and the thread spool.
Vertical Position
The vertical spool pin is used for a second
spool when sewing with a twin needle. It
can also be used when you are sewing with
specialty threads.
Place the auxiliary vertical spool pin in the
hole for vertical spool pin as shown. Slide on
the large spool cap and place a felt pad under
the thread spool to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast. Place thread spool on the
spool pin.
Do not place a spool cap on top of the
vertical spool pin as it may prevent the spool
from rotating.
Note: When the spool pin is used in the vertical
position, the thread tension might need to be adjusted.

12
THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
Make sure the presser foot is raised and
the needle is in the highest position. It is
important to thread correctly to minimize
several sewing problems.
Turn off the main switch.
1. Lightly lift up the spool pin. Place the
thread on the spool pin. Place the large
spool cap on the spool pin (A).
2. Holding the thread with both hands, bring
the thread into guide (B) from the back,
then pull toward you to snap it in place.
3. Bring the thread under the second thread
guide (C).

5. Continue threading the thread around the
check spring holder (E).
6. Bring the thread from right to the left
through the slot on the take-up lever (F)
and then downwards again.
7. Bring the thread downwards and insert the
thread from the right through the thread
guide and the wire loop (G).

needle (see needle threader instructions on
the next page). Place the thread under the
presser foot.

Needle Threader
The needle must be in the highest position
to use the built-in needle threader. We also
recommend lowering the presser foot.
Turn off the main switch.
1. Use the handle to pull the needle threader
down, catching the thread under the guide
(A).
2. Push the needle threader all the way down
until the metal Áanges cover the needle.
A small hook will pass through the needle
eye. Bring the thread under the hook, as
shown (B).
3. Let the needle threader gently swing back.
The hook pulls the thread through the
needle eye and forms a loop behind the
needle (C).
4. Pull the thread loop out behind the
needle. Place the thread under the presser
foot (D).
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used
for size 70-120 needles. You cannot use the needle
threader for size 60 needles or smaller, the wing needle
or twin needle. There are also some optional accessories
that require manual threading of
the needle.
When threading the needle manually make sure that
the needle is threaded from front to back.

2. SET UP 15
THREADING FOR TWIN NEEDLE
Turn off the main switch
1. Insert a twin needle.
2. Thread the machine as explained under
“Threading the upper thread” (page 12),
and thread the left needle.
3. Place the auxiliary vertical spool pin in the
hole for auxiliary spool pin and place the
large spool cap on the spool pin. Place a
thread spool or wind a bobbin with the
thread you are going to use as the second
upper thread. Thread the machine as
before and thread the right needle.
Note: Only use twin needle 1,6mm and the maximum
twin needle stitch 5mm on this sewing machine.
Note: Only use symmetrical twin needles (C). Do
not use asymmetrical twin needles (D), since it may
damage your sewing machine.
CUTTING THE THREAD
Once you have Ànished sewing you can cut
the thread by raising the presser foot and draw
the thread to the left side of the machine and
cut them using the thread cutter.

spool pin. For smaller spools of thread,
place the spool cap with the smaller side
next to the thread (A).
2. Snap the thread into the thread guide (B).
3. Bring the thread counterclockwise around
the bobbin winder tension discs (C).
