Connecting
the
machine
Connecting
the foot
control
Remove
the
cord
from
the
foot
control
and
place the
control
under
the table. Insert
the
foot
control
plug
into
the
socket
on
the
right
side of
the machine.
The
plug
is
marked
UP
for
ease
in
connecting
to
machine.
Connecting
to
the
wall
outlet
The
voltage
(V)
and
frequency
(Hz)
are indicated
under
the
base
of
the machine. Check
that
these
ratings
correspond
to
those of
the
power
supply
before
connect
ing
the machine.
Main
switch
The
light
and
the
machine are
turned
on
by
pressing
the
main
switch.
This
makes
it
easy
to
see
that
the
machine
is
ready
for
sewing.
Speed
control
and
needle
stop-right
The
speed
is
controlled
by
means
of
the
foot control.
Press
the
foot
control
down
lightly and
the
machine
will
start
sewing
at
the lowest

and
on
occasions
when
you
wish
to
have
better
control
for
intricate
work.
When
you depress the

from
the control
the
needle
will
always stop
at
its
upper
position
so
it
is not necessary
to
think
about the
needle
position
at
the
start
or
finish
of
a
seam.
If
you
wish to
turn
the
fabric
when
sewing
around
a
corner
for
example,
it
is
easy
to get
the needle
to
stop
down
in
the
fabric.
Just
press
the
foot
control
down
quickly
and
release
it
again.

Function
Working
surface
The
working
surface
around
the
stitch
plate
consists
partly
of
the
upper
side
of
the
accessory
box
and
partly
of
the machine
itself,
i.e.
the
free
arm.
Retain the
accessory
box
on
the
machine when
you
require
a larger
working
surface.
Pull
the
accessory
box
to
the
left
and
remove
it
if
you
wish to
use
the
free
arm.
Pant
legs
and
sleeves can be
drawn
onto
the
free
arm,
making
it easy
to
sew,
mend
or
patch these
parts.
The
free
arm
also
makes
it
much
easier
to
attach
collars
and
cuffs
as
well
as
sew
children’s clothes,
or
darn
socks
and
stockings
on
the
machine.
Presser
bar
lever
By
means
of
the
presser bar
lever
at
the
rear
of
the
machine,
the
presser
foot
can
be
raised
and
lowered.
The
lift
height
can
be
increased
by
3
mm,
if
the
presser
bar
lever is
raised, pushed
upward
and
held
in
position.
This
is
useful
when
you
want
to
put
garments
with
thick
seams
under
the
presser
foot.
The
presser
foot
should
be
lowered
while
sewing.
8

Function
Presser foot pressure
The
presser foot pressure can be adjusted by
means of
the
graded dial on the left side
of the machine. Adjust
ment will be easier if you lower the presser
bar lever
first. Normal pressure is obtained by
setting the dial at
the white dot but for some
fabrics it
may be
better
to
reduce or increase the pressure.
The higher the number
the greater the pressure.
By setting
the dial at the symbol
the
presser
foot
pressure
is
completely
released. This
setting should be
used
when free-hand sewing with the darning foot, i.e.
darning, monogramming, machine
embroidery and
quilting.
You will find the darning
foot under “Extra acces
sories” on
page
58.
If you turn
the graded
dial for
the presser foot
pressure
to the
lowest
number, it is
possible to darn with
presser
foot
A. Lower the
feed teeth
and move the
fabric for
ward,
backward and
sideways by
hand.
Lowering the feed teeth
Lower the feed teeth by
pressing
the
push-button
down and raise it by re-pressing the
push-button. The
feed teeth will
raise when you resume sewing.
The feed teeth should be lowered
for
a
certain type of
darning and when sewing on buttons. It
is also easier
to
get thick
garments under the presser foot if the feed teeth
are not above the level of
the stitch plate.

Bobbin winding
Removing
the
bobbin
case
Open the
door
in
front
of
the shuttle
by
means
of
the
small
recess on
the
left
side.
Grip
the bobbin
case with
the thumb
and
index
finger
so
that the
latch
is
depressed
and
pull
the
bobbin
case
out.
The
bobbin
will
remain
in
the
case
as
long
as
the
latch
is
depressed.
When
you
release
the latch,
the
bob
bin
will be
released.
Bobbin
winding
Turn the
empty
bobbin
so
the
small
round
dot
on
one
side
faces outward.
Slide
the
bobbin onto
the
bobbin
spindle,
which
is
located
on
the
right
side of
the machine.
Threading
for
bobbin
winding
can
be
done
as
ilhis
trated in
the
top
picture
but
if
you
do
not
wish to
unthread
the machine
to
rewind
a
bobbin,
you can
raise
the presser foot
and
thread
as
illustrated
in
the
bottom
picture.
Do
not
draw the
thread
straight
from
the
needle
eye,
the
needle
may
get
bent. Put
the
thread
under
the
presser
foot. Run
the
thread
through
the
thread
guide
at
the
front of
the
machine.
Start from
underneath
and
wind
the thread
a
couple
of
times around
the
bobbin.
Pull
the
thread
backward
and
insert
it
up
through
the
thread
cutter until
it
is
cut.
Depress
the
foot
control.
The machine
will stop
automatically
when
the
bobbin
is
full.
Remove
the
bobbin
and
cut the
thread
in
the
thread cutter.
10

Threading
Threading
the lower
thread
When the bobbin
winding
is finished,
place
the
bobbin
in its
case with the
small
round dot facing
out. The
thread
should run as shown
in the figure.
Slide the thread into the
slot
on the
edge
of the
bobbin
case. Pull the
thread under the tension
spring. Check that
the bobbin rotates in
the direction of the arrow
(clock
wise)
when the thread is pulled.
The
thread must
be pulled in the direction
of the
spring, otherwise
the spring
will be overloaded.
Insertion
of the bobbin
case
Slide
the thread
behind
the
projection
of the
bobbin
case
and to
the right.
Put
the
bobbin
case into place.
Press
the
bobbin
case
until
it
clicks
to ensure
that it
fits
properly.
The
thread cutter
is
located
to
the
left
of the
bobbin
case.
Hold
the thread
end and
draw
the thread
from
underneath
and up
toward
the
thread
cutter.
By
doing
so
the
thread
will
be cut
off and kept
in place. Shut
the
door.
Threading the
upper thread
Raise the
presser foot. Check that
the needle
is
at
its
highest position.
Place
the spool of thread on
the left
spool pin 1 and
thread the machine
for sewing.
Slide
the thread into thread
guide 2
on
the upper
arm
and draw
it
upward. Then draw the
thread to the front
between
the tension discs
3
and
down around thread
guide
4.
Continue
threading
by
drawing
the thread from
the right into
the slot
on thread
take-up
lever
5
and
draw
it
down to the needle,
ensuring
that
is
goes through
thread guide
6.
Thread the needle
from
the
front. Due
to
the white
color of the presser
foot ankle the needle-eye
is clearly
seen and
the threading
of the needle, 7, is
easier. Pull the
thread
under the
presser foot
about
15 cm (6”)
toward
the rear.
11

Thread
tension
Thread
cutters
The
notch
on
the back
of
the
presser
bar
is
the
thread
cutter.
Threads
can
easily
be
cut
off
when
you have
finished
sewing.
There
is
also an
additional
thread
cutter
for
use
when
bobbin
winding
and one for cutting
the
bobbin
thread
after
insertion
of
the
bobbin
case. See
page 10
and
11.
Tension
of
the
upper
thread
The
dial which
regulates
the
tension
of
the
upper
thread
is
graduated
from
0—10.
The
higher
the
number,
the
tighter
the
tension.
Normal
thread
tension
is
obtained
by
setting
the
dial
within
the
white area.
The
thread
reel
supplied
with
the
machine
contains
synthetic
thread
with which
your
machine
has
been
tested.
If
using a
coarser
thread,
it
may
be
necessary
to
alter
the
thread
tension
slightly.
As
a
general
rule
the
thread
tension
should be
increased by
two
grades
on
the
dial
when
sewing
with
cotton
thread.
The
type
of
fabric
may
also
require
some
adjustment
in
the
tension.
When
sewing
buttonholes
and
decorative
stitches
the
thread
tension
is
decreased
automatically.
When
return
ing
to
regular
sewing
the
normal
thread
tension
is
set
again.

Thread tension
Correct
and
incorrect
thread
tension
To
easily
understand
the
importance
of
correct
thread
tension, try
different
thread
tensions
by
sewing
on
a
scrap
of
fabric.
Begin
by
using an
excessively
loose
ten
sion,
i.e.
set
the
tension
dial
near
“0”.
Look
at
the
fabric
and
you
will
find
that
the lower
thread
lies
straight
and
the
upper
thread
is
drawn
underneath
the
fabric.
If,
however,
you
set
the
dial
at
the
highest
number,
the
opposite
will
occur,
or the seam
may
pucker.
The
thread
tension
is
correct
when
the
threads
inter
lock
in
the
middle
of
both
layers
of
fabric.
Please
note
that
even
the best quality
thread
may
vary
in
thickness.
When
sewing
in
fine
fabrics,
the
knot
may
sometimes
be
visible.
If
you should
find
it
difficult to
adjust
the
thread
ten
sion
to
the
degree
that
you
require,
this
may
be
due
to an
unfortunate
combination
of
needle,
thread
and
fabric.
Coarse
thread
requires
a
coarse
needle,
otherwise
there
will
be
too
much
resistance
when
the
thread
must
pass
through
the eye
of
the needle.
Experiment
with
a
slightly
longer
stitch
length or
try
reducing
the
presser
foot
pressure
one
or
two
grades.
This
will
make
it
easier
for
the machine
to
pull
up
the
thread.
Always check
that
the
thread
tension
is
correct
by
first
sewing
on
a
double
thick
scrap
of
the
same fabric
you
intend
to
work
with.
Increase
the
upper thread
tension
if
you
are
going
to
topstitch
with
coarse
thread
on thick
fabric.
If
you should
still
not
be
satisfied with
the
result,
try
letting the
thread
run
outside the
thread
guide
at
the needle
clamp.
It
may
be
necessary
to
further
increase
the
thread
tension when
sewing
very
difficult
materials,
e.g.
thick
and
rough-surfaced
leather.
To
attain
this
increase
in
tension,
thread
the
machine
as
illustrated
here.

Needle
and
thread
The machine
is
delivered
with a
spool
of
synthetic
thread,
which
can be
used
for
all types
of
fabrics
and
most stitches.
Mercerized
cotton
can also he
used.
As
a
rule
it
is,
however,
slightly
coarser
and
therefore
requires
increased
thread
tension.
Use
a
finer
needle
and
thread
when
sewing
lighter
fabrics.
Embroidery
thread,
which
is
more
loosely
twisted
and
finer,
produces
more
attractive
and
even
stitches
than
ordinary
thread.
It
also
produces
attractive
buttonholes
and
may even
be
used for
darning.
When
sewing with
thread
reels
that
have
a
cardboard
spool and
large
hole,
e.g.
embroidery
thread,
use
the
cylinder
412
09
78-01,
which
you
find
in
the
accessory
box. Place
the
cylinder over
the
thread
reel
pin
that
prevents
the reel
from
vibrating
against
the
pin.
You
can
produce
a
more
pronounced
seam
in
thicker
fabrics
by
using
a
coarser
needle
and
thread.
e.g.
synthe
tic
buttonhole
thread
or
double
upper thread.
Metallic
thread
or
extra
coarse
thread
which
cannot
be
threaded
through
the
needle
can
be
wound
on
the
bobbin
and
used
as
the
lower
thread.
Sew
on
the wrong
side
of
the
fabric,
You can
also
use
the
twin
needle
for
decorative
stitches.
Insert the
twin
needle,
press
the
-push
button,
which
limits
the
stitch
width
to
prevent
the
needle
from striking
the
stitch plate.
NB. After
removing
the
twin
needle,
press
again
the
-push-button
until
the
light goes
out.
Increase the
stitch
width
again
if
you
are
going
on
using
the same
stitch with
the ordinary
needle.
Changing
the
needle
Even if
the
needles
look alike
there
can be slight
variations
which
can
affect
the sewing
result.
Be
sure
to
use
the right
type of
needles.
Only a
completely
undamaged
needle
will
give
perfect
sewing results.
Therefore,
change
the
needle
if
you have
the
slightest
reason
to
believe
that
it
is
bent
or
that
the
point
is
damaged.
To
remove
the
needle,
loosen
the
screw
in
the
needle
clamp.
With
the
flat side
of
the
shank
away
from you,
insert
the
new
needle
into the
needle
socket
as
far
as
it
will go.
Tighten
the
screw
firmly.

Needle
design
In
most
cases
the
standard
needle is
the most
suitable
and
the
thickness
of
the needle
should
be
adapted
to
the
type
of
thread
and
fabric.
However,
when
sewing
certain
fabrics,
another
design
of
the
needle
point
can
produce
better
results.
You
will
find
two
needles
in
the
needle
case
with
the
description
‘Stretch” (completely
blue).
These needles
have
rounder
tips
and
should be used
when
sewing
light
elastic fabrics.
When a
needle
of
this
type
contacts
a
thread
in
the
weave,
the
thread
is
pushed
aside,
without
it
being
damaged.
It
is
also
suitable
for
sewing
corduroy
and
soft
leather.
If,
on
the
other
hand,
you
are
using
a
rigid
fabric,
like
denim,
sewing
will
be
easier
if you
use
the
needle
described
“Jeans”
(top
part
blue).
This
has
a
sharper
tip,
enabling
it
to pass
through
thick
seams
more
easily.
There
is a
twin
needle
in
the
needle
case. It
consists
of
two
standard
needles,
size
80,
and
is
intended
to be
used
when
sewing
decorative
or
raised
seams,
as
described
on
pages
16
and
36.
When
you
use
the
twin
needle,
first
press
the
button
marked
. The
machine
will
then
automatically
limit
the
stitch
width
for
all
stitches
and
the twin
needle
can
be
used
without
any
risk
of
it
striking
against
the
stitch
plate.
N.B.
After
removing
the twin
needle,
press
again the
-push-button
until
the
light goes
out.
Increase
the
stitch
width again
if
you are
going on
using
the
same
stitch
with
the
ordinary
needle.
Regarding
special
needles, please refer
to
“Needle
Assortment”
on
pages
55
and
56.
