motionless.
The
balance
wheel
is
now
disconnected
for
the
bobbin
winding operation.
2.
Place
a
spool
of
thread
on
the
spooi pin.
Draw

times
and
place
the
threaded
bobbin
on
the
spindle
of the
bobbin winder.
And
push the
bobbin
winder
from
left
to right.
5.
Now

sewing
and
when the
bobbin
is
completely
full
it
will
release
automatically
and
stop
turning.
Detach

REGULATING
THE
THREAD
TENSION
for
ordinary stitching
he
tension
of
the
upper
and
lower
threads should
be
equal
so
as
to
lock
both
threads
in
the
center
of
the
material
(Fig.
13).
if
ore
tCflSiOfl
5 stronger
than
the
other,
imperfect
stitching
will
result. Fine
materials
require
a
light
tension,
while heavy
materials
require mere
tension
to
obtain
a
perfect stitch.
TO
INCREASE
the
tension, turn
the
thread
tension
dial
(Fig.
12)
clockwise.
TO
LESSEN
the
tension, turn
the
thread tension
dial
in
the
opposite
direction.
(When
regulat’
ing
the
tension
always have
the presser
foot
down).
As
all
machines
are
correctly
adjusted before
leaving
the
factory
and
readjusted
before
the
dealer
delivers
them
to
you,
the
lower
tension
seldom requires
to
be
altered, but,
if
this
becomes
necessary,
tighten
the screw
holding
the
tension spring
on
the outside
of
the
bobbin
case
for more tension,
or
loosen the
screw
slightly
for
lesser
tension
(Fig.

REGULATING THE
STITCH
LENGTH
Th
length a’ the

In
order to set
machine at
a
certain length of stitch, turn
the
stitch length
dial until
rhindicatoris
facing the selected number
on the scale.
The length
of the stitch is

as
far
as it will go.
The
machine
will remain
sewing
in reverse while
the
reverse stitch
button is
depressed. When
released the
machine
resumes
forward
sewing with the
same
stitch
length.
The DROP
FEED
is located
on
the bed of the
machine
(Fig

It regulates
the
height of
the feed dog for
sewing normal
material, for darning
and embroidering

and
monogramming,
turn
the knob

SOME
USEFUL
SEWING
HINTS
TO TURN CORNERS:
1.
Stop
the machine
while
the
needle
is
still
in
the
material.
2.
Raise
the presser
foot
and
turn
the
fabric
using
the needle
as
a
pivot.
3.
Lower
the presser
foot
and
resume
sewing.
TO
SEW
ELASTIC FABRICS:
In
sewing such
elastic
materials
as jerseys,
bias
Cut cloths
etc.,
it
is
advisable
to
sew
them
with reduced upper
thread tension otherwise
the
thread
will
break when the
sewn
materials
are
stretched.
TO
SEW
VERY
THEN
CLOTH:
When
sewing very
thin
cloth
which
tends
to
gather
as
you
sew,
place
a
sheet
of
newspaper
or
any
other
thin
paper
underneath
the
material
and
sew
with
the shortest
stitch
possible.
This
will
keep
your
work
from
gathering.
BASTING:
1.
Reduce
the
tension
of the
upper thread
and
employ
the longest
stitch
possible.
2.
The
stitches
may
then
be
easily
removed
by pulling
the lower
thread.
TO KEEP
YOUR
MACHINE
IN
PERFECT CONDITION:
1, Keep
all
moving
parts
of
the
machine
constantly
oiled
and
clean.
Do
not
over-oil
machine.
2. Always
turn
handwheel toward you.
3. Do
not run
machine
without
cloth.
4.
When
sewing,
do
not pull
the
material
otherwise
you
will
bend
the needle. The
machine
is
designnd
to
feed
the
materfar
automatically.
5.
Do
net operate
machine
when
the
presser
bar
lifter
is
raised.

Adjusting
your
machine
for

This
machine
is
capable
of
producing
stretch
stitch
on
both
straight
and
zigzag
seams.
(A)
Straight Stretch

When
the
special stitch

lever
is
in
the
position as
described
above
and
the
stitch
width knob
is at

The
stitch
length
can
be
adjusted
as
desired
according
the
thickness
of
the
material
being
sewn.

STITCH
The
same
manner
as
above
except
the
zigzag
width
knob
must
be
moved
to
beyond
‘0’
to
any
number.
Setting
this
control
between
‘3’
and
‘5’
will
probably
give
you
the
best
result.
The
stitch
length
dial
can
also be
adjusted
in
the
same manner
as
described
above
for
straight stretch
sewing.
