Needle
and
thread
Your
sewing
machine
uses
a type
70E
or
tyDe
130
needle.
This
number
refers
to the
length
and
configuration
of
the
needle.
It
is
best
to
purchase
your
needles from
your
dealer.
How
ever,
if
this
is
not
possible due to
some
emer
gency
condition
in
your
locality
you can
get
by
temporarily
with
what
is
commonly
called
a
15x1
needle
which
is
carried
in
stock
by
almost
all
sewing
machine
stores
or
wherever
they
sell
sewing
machine
needles.
The
above-mentioned
needles come
in
various
widths.
And
the
larger
the
width
number
the
larger
the
eye
of
the
needle.
With
regard
to
the
size
of
the
needle
it
may
be
generally
said
that
numbers
80/12
or
90/14
can
be
used
for
most
fabrics.
For
a
finer
thread
or
for sheer
or
tightly
woven
fabrics
a
finer
needle
can
be
used.
For
a very
heavy or
stiff
fabric
a heavy
needle
can
be
used;
the
higher
the
needle
number
the
heavier
the
needle.
The

of

and
needle
to
be used
are

the
needle
is
in
its
highest
position,
pull
the
upper
thread
and
you
will
get
a
loop
of
lower
thread
which
is
easy
to catch.
You
should
not
pull
the
upper thread
too
hard
as
this
may
bend
the
needle.
Pull
the
threads (upper
and
lower)
about 6”
(15
cm)
toward
the
rear.
If
thread
ends
are
too
short, the
thread
may
slip

which

easy

Tension
of
upper
thread
The
dial
which
regulates
the
tension
of
the
upper
thread
is
graduated
from
0
to
5.
Your
machine
has
been
tested
with
the
thread
which
accompanies
it. It
may
be
necessary
to
adjust
the
thread
tension
somewhat
if
you
use
thread
of
another
thickness.
For
example,
a
heavier-than-ordinary
sewing
thread
usually
requires
a
higher
upper
thread
tension.
To
increase
the
upper
thread
tension,
turn
the
dial
to
a
higher
number.
Tension
of
lower
thread
In
most
special
sewing
cases
it
is
sufficient to
change only
the
upper
thread
tension.
Rarely
do
you
need
to
adjust
the
lower
thread tension.
If
it
is
necessary
to
adjust
the
tension
of
the
lower
thread,
use
the
small
screwdriver
from
the
accessory
box. Fit
it
in
the
larger
screw
on
the
thread
tension
spring
and
turn
it
not
more
than 1/10th
of
a turn
to
the
left
if
the
thread
tension
is
too
tight;
to
the
right
if
it
is
too
loose.
10

Correct
and
incorrect
thread
tension
In
order
to
easily
understand
the
importance
of
correct
thread
tension,
you can try
different
thread tensions
by
sewing
two
thicknesses of
fabric.
Begin
by using
an excessively loose
tension,
i.e.
you
turn
the
upper
thread
tension
dial
to
the
left
as
far
as
it will
go.
Look
at
the
fabric
and
you
will
find
the
lower
thread
lies
straight
and
the
upper
thread
is
drawn down
into
the
lower
side
of
the
fabric.
If
you
turn
the
dial
to
the
right,
the
opposite
occurs. The
upper
thread
lies
straight
and
the
lower
thread
comes
up in
loops
on
the top
of
the
fabric.
The
thread tension
is
correct
when
the
threads
interlock
in
the
middle
of
the
layers
of
fabric
(approximately
at
3
on
the
dial).
Before
starting
to
sew,
check
the
tension
by
sewing
on
two
thicknesses
of
the
same
fabric
you
intend
to
work
with.
Before
you
begin
to
use
the
zigzag
stitch,
check
that
the
thread
tension
is
the
same
as when
you
did
straight
stitching.
Use
a scrap
of fabric
to
see
how
the
zigzag
stitches
look
if
you
set
them
first
on
the
loosest (upper
picture),
then
on
the
higher
thread
tension
(middle
picture).
Then
finally
the
correct
thread
tension
will
look
about
like
that
in
the
lower
picture.
It
is
important
that
you
use
the
same
weight
thread
on
the
bobbin
as
on
the
spool.

Changing
the
snap-on
presser
foot
The presser
feet
which
accompany
the
machine
have
the
form of
loose soles
which
are
held
in
place on
the
presser
foot
“ankle”
by
a
spring.
To
change
the
presser
foot,
turn
the
handwheel
toward
you until
the
needle
is
in
the
highest
position.
Remove
the
presser
foot
by drawing
it
toward
you
while
pressing slightly
down
ward.
Slide
the
new
presser
foot
over
the
front
edge
of
the
ankle
bracket
as shown
in the
illustration.
There
is
a
spring
on
the
lower
end
of
the
ankle
bracket.
Slide
on
the
presser
foot
so
that
the
round
transverse
pin
on
the
presser
foot
fits
into
the
space
between
the
bracket
and
the
spring.
Then
press
lightly
backward
and
down
ward and
the
presser
foot
will
snap into
the
correct
position.
Changing
the
presser
foot
‘nkIe”
Certain
presser
feet
cannot
be
constructed
as
loose
soles
and
then
the
ankle
bracket
must
also
be
changed.
Make
sure
that
the
needle
is
in
its
highest
position.
Then
loosen
the
re
taining
screw
with
your
left hand and
remove
the
presser
foot
ankle
with
your
right hand.

Upperside
L”cesce
The
presser
foot
<383)
which
is
fined
on
the
machine
at
delivery,
is
used
for
normal
straight
stitching,
zigzag
stitching
and
other
utility
stitches.
As
you
can
see, it
has different
notches
which
can
be used
as
guides
when
sewing.
If
you
wish
to
have
a
seam
allowance
about
h”
(6
mm),
let
the
material run
even
with
the
outer
edge
of
the
presser
foot
(applies
to
straight
stitching
with
the
needle
in
the
center
position).
By
moving
one
step
inwards
you
will
have
a
seam
allowance
of
about
5/32”
(4
mm).
The
innermost
notch
gives
a
seam
allowance
of
about
5/64”
(2

Selecting
the
stitch
As
you
face
the
machine
you
wiN
see
two
rounc
controls.
The
one
towards
the
top
of tne
machine
is
the
Stitch
Program
Selector.
The
outer
scale
is
for
selecting
the
needle
position,
the
zigzag
width
and
for
making
buttonholes.
The
middle
scale
is
used
for
selectino
various
patterns.
The
inner
scale
is
used
for
selecting
various
reverse
cycle
stitches.
The
red
window
indicates
which
function
the
machine
is
going
to
perform.
The
middle
and
inside
scales
are
changed
by
moving
the
handle.
The
outside
scale
is
moved
by
turning
the
outside
scale.
Remember
to
always
turn
the
dial
clockwise.
The
other
control
on
the
right
of
the
machine
is
the
Stitch

control
and
the
control
for

To
make
a
regular
straight
stitch
with
the
needle
in
the
center
position,
turn
the
outer
scale
on
the
Program

Dial
to
2.
If
you
wish
a longer

turn
toward
0.
To
sew
in
reverse,
press
down
the
lever
located
on
the
right
of
the
Stitch
Length
Dial.
When
released,
the
machine
will
resume
normal
forward
sewing.
Needle
position
There
are
three
needle
positions:
left,
center
and
right.
On
the
outer
scale
of
the
Program
Selector
you
will
see
a
scale
from
0
-
5 in
three
different
places.
The
scale
with
the
letter

on
top
puts
the
machine
in
left
hand needle
posi
tion
(line
