Always
adjust
the
upper
tension
with
the
presser

as
the
tension
is
released
when
it
is

To
increase
the
tension
on
the
upper
thread, turn
dial
(Fig.

to
the
right.
To
decrease,
turn
to

Before
adjusting lower tension
be
sure
that
the
machine
is
threaded
properly.
When
necessary
to
change
the
bobbin tension,
turn
small screw
(Fig. 10)
on
side
of
the
bobbin
case
clockwise
to
tighten,
counterclockwise

ADJUSTING
PRESSURE
AND
FEEDING
OF FABRIC
General
Sewing. Usually
for
normal
sewing
the
pressure bar
cap or
darner
release,
(B,
Fig.
14)
is
at
its
lowest position
and
the
drop
feed
knob
is
turned to
“position,
(Fig.
15).
Sewing Thin
or
Light
Weight
Fabrics.
When
lighter
pressure
is
required to
sew
satisfactorily
on
thin
silk
or
flimsy
material,
the
pressure
cap
should
be
about
halfway
down.
Release
all
the
way
by
pressing
the snap
lock,
(A,
Fig.
14)
and
then
press
cap
(B)
down
again
to
halfway
spot.
Darning
and
Mending.
In
order
to move
the
fabric
freely
in
any
direction
for
darning
and
mending,
release
the
pressure
cap
(B,
Fig.
14)
completely
by
pressing
down
on
the
snap
lock,
(A.
Fig.
14)
Turn
drop
feed
control
(Fig.
15)
to

position.
This
will
drop
the
feed
well
below the
needle plate.
To
return
feed
to
normal
position,
turn
knob
to”
“position.
PREPARING
TO
SEW
Have
take-up
lever
at
highest
point
before
starting
to
sew.
Do
not
try
to
help
the
feeding
by
pulling the
material
as
this may
deflect
the
needle
and
cause
it
to
break.
NEVER
run
machine
without
material
under
the
presser
foot.
Place
material
and
threads
in
position under
the
presser
foot
and
lower the
presser
foot.
Turn
the
hand
wheel
toward
you
until
the
needle
is
at
its
highest
point.
You
are
now
ready
to
begin sewing.
By
having the
needle at
its
highest
point,
it
is
not
necessary
to touch
the
hand
wheel
to
start
the
machine.
You
merely
press
the
control.
The
speed
of
the
machine
is
regulated
by
increasing
or
decreasing the
amount
of pressure
exerted
on
the
control.
REMOVING
THE WORK
Be
sure
to
stop
the
machine
when the
thread
take.up
lever
and
needle
bar
are
at
the
highest
position.
Now
raise
the
presser
foot
and draw
the fabric
back
and
to
the
left,
Fig.
16-A
and
B,
and pass
the
threads
over
the
thread
cutter.
Pull
down
slightly,
holding
thread
in
both
hands,
so
as
not
to
bend
the
needle.
Leave
the ends
of
thread
under
the presser
foot.

APPLICATIONS
OF
THE
SMOCKING
STITCH
This
stitch
gives
a
finished
¼
inch seam
in
one
step.
For kints,
it
gives
strength
and
elasticity
to
the
seams
and
prevents
the
curling
of
the fabric
that
often
occurs
with
5/8
inch
opened
seams.
It
is
most
applicable
to
soft,
thin
knits
such
as
nylon
or
acetate
knits,
but
may
be
used
on
other
fabrics
as
well.
Always
make
test
seams with
this
stitch.
For
woven
fsbric,
the
smocking
stitch
gives
strength
and
prevents
raveling.
It
can
be
used
on
woven
goods
to
replace flat
felled
or
French
seams.
For
patterns
with
¼
inch seams:
(Fig
A
)
Place
the
raw edge
of
the
fabric
under
the
presser
foot
so
that
as
the
needle
swings
to
the
right,
it
comes
dosvn
at
the
raw
edge.
This
will
result
in
an
enclosed
seam
allowance.
For
patterns
with
5/8
inch
seams:
(Fig,
H
)
The
seam
allowances
may
be
trimmed
to
¼
inch
either
before
or
after
sewing.
If
trimnling
before
sewing,
proceed
as
above.
Otherwise,
sew
the
seam with
the
raw edge
of
the
fabric
on
the
etched
guide
line
“14”.
(Any
time you
use
the
full
width
of
a
particular
stitch,
you should
readjust
the
raw
edge
of
the fabric
1/8
inch
to
the
left.) Afterward,
trim
the
excess
fabric near
the
stitching.
This
method
is
actually
easier
than
the
overedge
method
for
fabrics
that
curl.

FOR
PORTABLE INSTALLATION
Please
read
these
important
instructions
which
were
written
to
aid
you
In
placing
your
new sewing
machine on
its
portable
base.
First,
remove
the
nail
which holds the
foot
control
inside
the
base
to
avoid
damage
in
shipping.
If
a
small
plastic clamp
is
fastened
to
the back
and
not
to
the top
of
the
partition
at
one
end
of the
base,
remove
it,
too.
After
unpacking
the
sewing machine
unit,
being
certain
to
take
out
the
instruction
book,
guarantee
and
accessory
box
lay
the unit
face
down
on
a
table.
You
will
see
two
clamping
screws
“A”
entering
head
hinge
holes
“B”
on
the underside
of
the
back.
On
the
base
you
will
find
two
head
hinges
“C”
which
will
fit
into
holes
“B”.
Lower
the
base Onto
the
sewing
machine fitting
hinges
“C” into
holes
B.
Tighten screws
“A”
securely
with
a
screw
driver.
With
machine
in
sewing
position attach
plastic
clamp
“0”
to
top
of
partition
with
screw
provided
so
that
it
may
be
turned
acros
the
bed
of
the
machine, to
hold
it
down.
(On
some
bases the clamp
may
be
positioned
in
the
proper spot).
To
make the
electrical
connection
draw
the
two
wires
through
the
slot
in
the
partition
of
the base.
Plug
the
cord
labeled
“Motor”
into the
receptacle
marked
“Motor”
on
the
block
attached
to
the
outer
section
of the
hase.
Then
insert
the
other
cord into
the
“Light”
receptacle.
Place
the
foot
control
on
the floor,
insert
plug
into
a
wall
outlet
(110—115
volts)
and
you
are
ready
to sew.
But
first
read
the
inStruction
book
to
become
familiar with the
threading
of
the
machine,
tension
adjustments
and
all
the
other
features
designed
to
make
sewing
a
pleasure.
