 LET’S SEW Perforating Plain Paper
Your new wonderful machine was delivered ready for ZIGZAG stitching. Certain kinds
of STRAIGHT stitching can also be done with the same NEEDLE PLATE and PRESSER
FOOT which wore on the machine when you received it. A NEEDLE was also properly
installed, along with a partially filled BOBBIN underneath.
Without threading needle “sew” on a piece of PLAIN PAPER for a few minutes while you
become well acquainted with the few easy-to-use CONTROLS pictured and briefly ex
plained on pages 2 and 3; also 4 and 5. Later on you are urged to study all the operat
ing 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 others are available at modest prices and sold by the dealer from whom you purchased
your new machine.

 To Sew Fancy Stitch Patterns 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 top flat side of each. The cam used
,

guides needle to repatedly reproduce its pattern.

To Place A Replaceable Cam In Machine
Do two things before selecting a cam. 1 Look directly below
CEO needle. Be sure presser foot and needle plate are those pictured
at TOP LEFT next page. 2 turn controls BOTTOM RIGHT-next

I page until hanging lever can be moved from 0 to 5 on dial. Now

lift open small cam chamber cover on top of machine. While hold
ing ZZ Width Lever next page at extreme left 5 , drop selected
cam on spindle C. While still holding ZZ Width Lever, revolve
cam, pressing down lightly, until hole in its bottom surface slides
over pin E. Close cam chamber lid. Run machine slowly while
you adjust Stitch Length Dial at MIDDLE LEFT next page. Most
cam patterns appear best on Stitch Length Dial setting between
½ and 1-½.

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 Ii
inch wide.
For Straight Stitching Some Fabrics—
Presser foot and needle plate with small
round hole instead of wide slot .best for finest STRAIGHT 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 shorten, stich COU.
NTER-CLOCKWISE to lengthen for more stitches per inch. Refer to
chart just below and find your favorite settings. Note the numbers for
ouick and easy duplication any time. Remember that material must
move along or “feed” under presser foot in down position. Whenever
it does not, stitch must be lengthened slightly.

 To Sew Backward--Zigzag or Straight Stitching -

R
Reverse stitch push button marked R is in base of machine
directly below Stitch Length Dial. To sew backward, push
button down and feeding teeth will move material in reverse to
normal sewing direction as long as push button is held down.
It’s foolproof. When comfortably placed R button is released
material sews forward again.
To Drop Feeding Teeth for Darning or Monogramming
Control knob is just to left of Reverse feed button. To drop

I feed teeth entirely below needle plate surface, turn knob clock
wise to extreme left position marked DN. For most normal
sewing jobs knob will be in extreme right position marked HI.
Occasionally the middle position (LO) will be ideal for very
delicate filmy fabric-providing enough grip to feed material
without tearing or scraping.

fl
Adiusting Pressure on Feed Teeth
For normal sewing, Bar B should be pushed down-its top
about even with locking ring (A). Single finger pressure
on edge of ring will release bar causing it to pop all the
way up. That is position for most darning and monogram
work with Feed Teeth in DN position. When sewing on
delicate materials with Feed Teeth in LO position, the
presser bar should be pressed down about half way.
A Good Sewing Habit - - The Take-Up Lever
As each sewing operation is finished before starting machine
- - while - -

threading it ALWAYS when machine is not running be sure Take-Up

- -

lever is at top end of slot. Every time you stop machine turn the wheel
by hand to position lever at highest point. The only exception is to oil.

tension turn numbered dial left) CLOCKWISE. To relieve tension
turn dial counter-clockwise. The higher the number at which dial is
set, the heavier the tension on needle thread. Before attempting any
tension adjustmnts be doubly sure that machine is completely and
properly threaded and that Presser Foot is DOWN. If tension adjust

(lower) thread.
To Loosen or Tighten Bobbin Thread Tension
This adjustment is rarely necessary unless you have a sew
ing project calling for very unusual thread in the bobbin-
i,e. elastic. To adjust tension on bobbin thread merely turn
the small screw in outer rim of Bobbin Case (right). Turn

*--For Finest Results Use A Hoop

Remove Presser Foot from machine. Turn Feed Knob
to EMBR. Release Presser Bar pressure (page4). Stretch
fabric tautly in an embroidery hoop and angle hoop
edge under needle. Set Stitch Length Dial as desired
(usually at a low number). Lower Presser Bar Lever

To Change Needle Plate

Be sure Presser Foot is UP and needle at top position.

Raise hinged cover plate attached to needle plate) and
leave UP. Carefully remove screws holding needle plate--
and gripping the raised cover plate slide entire assembly
off machine. Set Stitch WIDTH Lever at 0.
Turn assembly over--under side upward-- holding needle
plate in one hand, hinged cover plate in the other. Notice
that two small pins one at each side of cover plate
- - fit - -

into grooves at each end of assembly. One pin is under

spring-hinge at one end--the other pin is unobstructed. Lift
that pin out of groove--then the other pin can be freed as
the tongue on cover plate is separated from the spring latch on needle plate. Just reverse
the entre procedure to attach another type of needle plate to the hinged cover plate and re -

install the changed assembly on machine.

CAUTION- After Changing A Needle Plate or Presser Foot Always Turn

-

Machine Wheel by Hand While Needle Goes Down and Comes Back Up.
Such a Production Avoids Breaking Needle and Damaging Machine.

— To Change Presser Foot

Be sure Presser Foot and needle are both UP. Loosen thumb screw A with
fingers or screw driver until Presser Foot slips down and off. To replace
with another foot merely reverse the procedure. After changing a foot
always hand-turn machine carefully to bo sure needle does not strike foot.

 Use The Narrow Hemmer To Sew Like A Professional
Practice first with scrap material. With fingers, crease a fine
g’ wide DOUBLE fold from starting edge for about two inches.
1
‘
Take a couple hand needle fine stitches to hold fold at starting
edge, leaving at least two inches of threads dangling. Holding
both ends of the hand creased fold, slide it underneath the
Narrow Hemmer Foot. Slip the middle portion of FOLD into
the SCROLL of Hemmer. Moving it back and forth slightly you
will observe how the scroll rolls the fine narrow hem into
position. Keeping the scroll just barely FILLED with fabric, finally pull creased portion
toward you until starting edge is under needle, then lower Narrow Hemmer onto fabric. As you
slowly run machine set at fairly short stitch length gently pull on the hand needle thread
,

ends through a few starting inches of your entire hem. Keep on guiding fabric with SLIGHT
pressure to the RIGHT and it will continue making a double turn through the scroll.

To Make A French Seam

With finished sides of fabric face to face place edge of top piece 8 inch inside the edge of
bottom piece. Follow same steps as for plain narrow hem in a single piece of fabric.
Stitching Guide--Quilting Rows Spacer
For perfectly straight and even stitching about
inch OR MORE from any edge of fabric, use
the Guide left). Fasten it to machine bedplate,
with its thumb screw in threaded hole about 2
inches to the right of needle. Attach Quilting
Guide by placing its pronged holder between
upper portion of presser foot and its clamp thumb screw by first - -

loosening and then re-tightening screw. Adjust curved bar of guide

to barely rest on a row of stitches previously sewed. Then successive
rows will be equally spaced.
