HOW TO PULL UP LOWER
-14- - 15 -

Thread Tension
It is important that tension of upper and lower threads be equal to prevent puckering of ma-
terial or other problems.
It is recommended that a test sample be made before starting to sew.
UPPER THREAD TENS]ON To regulate thread tension, merely turn
thread tension dial with left thumb after
lowering the presser foot.
THi FIIGHER THE NUMBER. THE
TIGHTER THE TENSION.
To increase tension: Turn dial downward
to large number.
To decrease tension: Turn dial upward to
smaller number.
NOTE: The zigzag stitch requires less upper
thread tension than straight stitch.
LOWER THREAD TENSION Although lower thread tension has already
been adjusied at the factory, when sewing
very thin or heavy material it may have to
be read,usted.
To regulate the lower thread tension,
turn small screw on the tension spring of
the bobbin case with the small screw driver.
To increase tension: Turn the small screw
clockwise very slight-
ly.
To decrease tension: Turn the screw coun-
ter-clockwase very
sl ightlY.
INCORRECT STITCH. (B'
___-1lr
l#Hr
-lll
Tension of upper and lower threads should
be equal, just sufficiently strong to lock
both threads in material.
Perfect stitching appears flat with no
puckering of material-
The upper thread lies on the surface of
the material by pulling the lower thread
up as shown.
This is caused by tight tension on the upper
thread or loose tension on the lower thread-
To correct this, turn the upper thread
tension {ial to a lower number.
When perfect stitch cannot be obtained by
only upper thread tension dial, adjust the
bobbin tension accordingly.
The lower thread lies on the under surface
of the material by pulling upper thread
down as shown.
This is caused by loose tension on the upper
thread or tight tension on_ the lower thread.
To correct this, turn the upper thread
tension dial to a higher number.
lf perfect stitching cannot be obtained by
changing upper thread tension, adjust the
bobbin tension.
NOTE: lt is recommended tha, test samples are marle before starting to sew.

both upper and lower thread to the left.
For reverse sewing depress Reverse Sew-
ing Lever as far as it will allow. Reverse
sewing is used where reinforcement is
needed.
Release Reverse Sewing Lever and start
sewing in forward direction.
HOW TO CHANGE SEWING DIRECTION
1 . Stop machine at the turning point while
the needle is in the material.
2. Raise the presser foot and turn the
material to the new direction while
the needle acts as the axis.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing
in new direction.
NOTE: ln case of twin needle sewing, raise
the needle at the turning point.
HOW TO FINISH YOUR SEWING PROJECT
(REVERSE STITCHING)
Reverse stitching is used to reinforce stitches near the
edge of material or wherever reinforcement is needed.
1. This is done by stitching to the edge of material ....
then stopping.
2. Depress Reverse Sewing Lever and stitch back-
v{rards for 3/8 inch (10 mm) from material edge,
HOW TO REMOVE FINAL SEWING FROM
MACHINE
1 . Stop the machine.
2. Raise needle to its highest position and make sure
thst the thread take-up lever is also in the highest
position.
3. Lift presser foot and pull out the material gently
to the left side diagonally
4. Cut both threads on the thread cutter.
5. Leave about 4 inches (10 cm) of threads between
toes of the presser foot to the rear while the
thread take-up lever is at the highest position,
and you are ready to sew again without any
chance of thread pulling out of the needle.
HOW TO SEW VERY THIN MATERIAL
An underlay of thin paper will help to eliminate
skipped stitches and puckering on very thin material.
HOW TO GUIDE YOUR MATERIAL
Do not pull the material. Let the machine do the
work. Merely guide the rnaterial with your f ingers in
front of the presser foot as shown in the illustra_
tion.'
lf you pull the material, your needle might either bend
or break.
.
However, in the case of special materials, such as
tricot, crepes, knits, etc., we recommend that you
support the material both in front and back of the
presser foot with gentle tension as shown in the lower
illustration.

1._ Set stitch length dial between F-1.
2. Place reinforcement material under tear
in material to be repaired.
3. Following the line of tear, sew elastic
stitch so that both sides of tear are
joined.
SEWING ELASTIC
1. Place.the elastic on the material.
2, As you sew, stretch elastic both in front
and .in back of presser foot as shown in
illustration.
JOINING STITCH
1. Elastic stitch is used to join material
together.
2. Place material edge to edge under presser
' foot.
3. Sew together using elastic stitch. Care
should be taken to keep the two material
edges close together.
SEWING KNITS
Knitted garments are sewn by this elastic
stitch effectively. Use nylon thread, and
stitch will be invisible.
The "Tripld Stretch Stitch" is used for any
stretch material Juch as knitted fabric,
tricot, etc,
This stitih is three times the strength of a
regular stitch and gives elasticity to seams
which prevents thread breakage.
NOTE: 1. Use of "Golden Stretch Stitch
Needle" ii recommended.
2. When sewing extremely light or
elastic . material use straight
stitch presser foot and needle
plate.
For stretch materials, an elastlc overlock
stitch can be made as follows:
Place edge of material under presser foot so
that left side of straight stitch and right side
of zigzag stitch appears and sew in this
position.
