White 1563 Installation instructions

LET'S SEW
Perforating Plain Paper
Your new, wonderful machine was delivered ready for ZIGZAG stitching. Certain kinds
of ST AIGHT stitching can also be done with the same NEEDLE PLATE and
P ESSE FOOT which were on the machine when you received it. A NEEDLE was
also properly installed, along with a partially filled BOBBIN underneath.
Without threading the needle, “sew” on a piece of PLAIN PAPE for a few minutes
while you become well acquainted with the few easy-to-use CONT OLS pictured and
briefly explained on pages 2 and 3; also 4 and 5. Later on, you are urged to study all
the operating details indexed on page 1 (which you should skip for the time being).
Time-saving, wonder-working sewing aids such as rufflers, binders, zipper sewing foot
and many other are available at modest prices and sold by the dealer from whom you
purchased your new machine.

To Sew Fancy Stitch Patterns UTOM TIC LLY Use the Cams —
Look over your large assortment of molded plastic cams. Their
color or colors do not affect function. A basic design such as
diamond, half-moon, triangle (as examples), is embossed on the
top, flat side of each. The cam used will automatically guide the
needle to repeatedly reproduce its pattern.
To Place a Replaceable Cam In Machine
Do two things before selecting a cam. (1) Look directly below the needle. Be sure the
presser foot and the needle plate are those pictured at the TOP LEFT of the next page.
(2) turn controls (BOTTOM IGHT of next page) until
the hanging lever can be swung from 0 to 5 on the dial.
Now lift open the small cam chamber cover on top of
the machine. While holding the ZZ Width Lever (next
page) at extreme left, (5) drop the selected cam onto
spindle C. While still holding the ZZ Width Lever,
revolve cam, pressing down lightly until the hole at its
bottom surface (E) slides onto pin (D). Close the cam
chamber lid. un the machine slowly while you adjust
the Stitch Length Dial setting between ½ and 1½.
Changing Path of Needle Multiplies Variety of Designs —
Lever NP can be set at Left, Center or ight. Each
different position alters the basic stitching line and
therefore the appearance of most all
of the zigzag stitch designs. Set
Lever NP at LEFT for straight
stitching. Pull Lever NP toward you
and it clicks when sliding into the three position notches. Pushed
in, Lever NP avoids the notches, moving freely for hand-
controlled creative embroidery (explained on page 5; without a
cam in machine).

BE SURE – For Zigzag Stitching
— Use This Needle Plate and Presser Foot
These two parts are slotted crosswise to allow for
needle swinging sideways while moving up and
down. Slots are about ¼ inch wide.
Later On — For Straight Stitching some Fabric —
The presser foot and needle plate with the small round hole
instead of a wide slot — best for the finest ST AIGHT stitching in sheer, fine or very
soft materials. For changing this standard equipment, see page 15.
— Setting Stitch Length — For Zigzag or Straight Sewing
Turn this speedometer-type dial CLOCKWISE to lengthen
stitch — COUNTE -CLOCK-WISE to shorten — for more
stitches per inch. efer to the chart just below and find your
favorite settings. Make a note of the numbers for quick and
easy duplication any time. emember that the material moves
along or “feeds” under the presser foot in the down position.
Whenever it does not, the stitch must be lengthened slightly.

Setting Width of Hand-Controlled Zigzag Stitching —
For Straight Stitching and Cam Controlled Zigzag, Keep Lever at 0
Adjust by turning the horizontal finger-rollers
to a number on dial — or in-between. To
make the sides of buttonholes for example,
you may set the left side number at 14; the
right side at 2.
