OPERATING BALANCE WHEEL AND STOP MOTION
‘p Hold the balance wheel (A) firmly with your left hand and
turn the stop motion knob (B) toward you, thus permitting the
balance wheel to run freely, so that the bobbin can be wound
without operating the stitching mechanism.
— A To lock balance wheel, turn the stop motion knob away from
you.

WINDING THE BOBBIN
Place the spool of thread on the spool pin (6) and dn

out about 12” of thread through tension bracket. Wi
thread on to the bobbin seven or eight times toward you. Tb
set the bobbin on the spindle (A) of the bobbin winder. Shou

ADJUSTING TO WIND ON THE BOBBIN
In order to ensure smooth rotation of the bobbin within its

case, make sure that the thread is wound evenly on the bobbin,
Correct winding incorrect winding
otherwise it may cause thread to break, irregular tension, or
fail to produce neat stitches.
SETTING THE NEEDLE
Turn the balance wheel toward you until the needle bar rea
ches its highest position.
Loosen the needle clamp screw.
Insert the needle with the flat side toward the balance wheel
and push the needle up into the needle clamp until it hits the
stop.
Tighten the needle clamp securely.

OPENING OR CLOSING THE HINGE PLATE
Our new type hinge plate supersedes the slide plate.

To open, place finger in recess and lift.

your left hand with the slot in the edge facing up.
Hold the wound bobbin between the thumb and two fingers
of your right hand with the thread on top leading away from
you.
Insert the bobbin into the case, pull the thread into the slot,
then down under the spring until it enters the delivery eye.

THREADING THE NEEDLE
(Upper Thread)
Place a spool of thread on spool

and raise the take-up lever to its higi
point.
Pull thread through the slot of ui
thread guides (1),(2)
down through the tension discs (3)
up into the thread check spring (4)

about four inches of thread through
needle.

PREPARING FOR SEWING
(a) Pull sufficient thread through the needle and with the
left hand hold the end, leaving it slack from the hand to
the needle.
(b) Turn the balance wheel toward you until the needle
moves down and up again, thus catching the under thread.
(c) When the take-up lever is at its highest point, pull the
end of the needle thread you are holding and the under
thread will be brought up with it through the needle hole
in the needle plate.
(d) Lay both ends of thread under and to the back of the
presser foot, and having inserted the mat€rial to be stitch
ed, lower the presser bar lifter and commence to sew by
turning the balance wheel toward you.
Do not try to help the feeding of the work by pulling the

material, as this may deflect the neelle and cause it to break.
The machine feeds without any assistance.
Never operate the machine without material under the presser

foot.

REMOVING THE MATERIAL
(a) Stop the machine when the needle is at its highest poi
(b) Lift the presser bar lever and draw the material to the 1
hand side and to the rear of the machine.
(c) Passing the threads over the thread cutter as shown,

down lightly and cut the threads.
(d) Always leave three to four inches of thread for furti

sewing.
ADJUSTING THE UPPER TI{READ TENSION
(a) In most cases the perfect stitch can be obtained by regu

ting the upper thread tension. To increase the upper thr
tension, turn the tension dial clockwise, and to decrea
turn it anti-clockwise.
(b) The tension dial should not be turned abruptly but lit
by little until the desired tension is obtained, and alw
make sure that the presser foot is down when mak
tension adjustments.
10

ADJUSTING UNDER THREAD TENSiON
All machines are correctly adjusted before leaving the factory,

therefore it is seldom necessary to alter the UNDER tension.
Should it become necessary to do so, tighten the tension
spring screw to increase the tension and loosen the screw
slightly to lessen the tension, using the small screw driver.
THREAD TENSION
(a) For ordinary stitching, the needle and the bobbin threads
should be locked in the center of the thickness of the
material, as illustrated (A).

I ADJUSTING THE DROP FEED
This mechanism drops the feed dog under the needle p!

(,. , when the material is required to be moved freely by hand
embroidering and darning.
When the left button is pushed completely down (mark
DOWN.), it enables the material to be moved freely under
presser foot, which is convenient for embroidery, darning, e
For sewing very light material, push the center button cc
pletely down (marked SILK).
For ordinary sewing, push the right button completely do
(marked UP), when the three buttons are always up and cv
A REGULATING PRESSURE ON MATERIAL
To increase pressure for heavy materials, press (A) downwa

and to release pressure for light materials, darning, etc., preSs’
down when (A) will automatically release the pressure.
When darning, lower the presser bar lever and yon are re
to darn or embroider.
“Note: —When reverting to normal sewing, do not forget
press “A” into position to give the required pressure on
presser foot, otherwise the machine will not feed properly.
12

REGULATING THE LENGTH OF STITCH
Turn the dial to the right to lengthen and to the left to

shorten the stitch. Near 0 is the shortest stitch and 5 is the
longest.
SEWING IN REVERSE
To sew backward for tying the threads at the beginning or
I end of a seam, press in the button R, as far as it will go. The

machine will sew backward as long as the button is pressed.
13

REGULATING WIDTH OF ZIGZAG STITCH
The width of zigzag stitch is regulated by the zigzag wk

knob (A). By turning this knob clockwise from O—5, the wid
of stitch can be varied. Turning the stitch width knob
simultaneously activate the red line marker and indicate wid
of stitch selected.
REGULATING LENGTH OF ZIGZAG STITCH
The stitch length dial regulates the length of the zigzag stitc
for zigzag sewing in the same manner as for straight sewing
In order to produce the “Satin Stitch” which is the closes
zigzag stitch, set the stitch length dial close to 0.
14

STRAIGHT STITCHING
For straight sewing on fine fabric or very

soft material, you
may want to use the straight stitch presser
foot included in your
accessory box.
(A) Loosen thumb screw and remove zigzag
presser foot.
(B) Replace with straight stitch presser
foot.
Be sure to Set the zigzag width knob at 0,
or the needle will
break in striking the presser foot.
CREATIVE EMBROIDERY
lie sure zigzag presser is in place.

The satin stitch which is really just a very short
zigzag stitch
and the basis for most embroidery, is obtained
by setting stitch
length as near 0 as possible without stoping the
feeding action
and zigzag width at 5.
To stitch continuously at one width of zigzag stitching,
set
zigzag width dial to chosen stitch width number.
With the machine set for a short stitch length, different
designs
can be made by turning the zigzag width dial back and
forth
between 0 and 5 or any other combination of widths.
Set a rhythm for yourself and then proceed. After awhile
you
will become quite skillful, varying your designs by the
speed of
the machine, stitch length, and manipulation of the zigzag width
knob.

16

EMBRO[DERING WITH A HOOP
It is easy to follow a stamped design or to work free hand

when embroidering or monogramming. Release the pressure
from the foot by pressing down the snap lock on the automatic
darner. Drop the feed completely.
Stretch the fabric in an embroidery hoop, and place under
the needle after removing the presser foot, Set the stitch width
at the size you prefer and lower the presser bar lifter. Then
operate the machine at a rather high speed while moving the
hoop slowly with both hands. Work carefully and be sure to
keep fingers out of the path of the needle.
4 Should you encounter skip stitches, the fabric is not stretched
tight enough or a darning spring is needed.
DARN OR MONOGRAM WITHOUT HOOP
• If you wish to darn or monogram without embroidery hoop,

leave zigzag presser foot in place, release all pressure on presser
foot, set stitch length at 0, set zigzag stitch width to suit, and
leave feed in sewing position.
When darning or monogramming in this manner the fabric
must be held taut or skipped stitches will be encountered.

Hemmer.
3. Commence to sew, guiding edge of the lace into the slot
of the Hemmer with the right hand, and guiding the ma
terial into the Hemmer with the left hand.
CLOTH GUIDE
This attachment is most convenient for guiding the cloth so

as to keep the stitching parallel to the edge of the material.
1. Attach Cloth Guide to the machine bed, with the screw
supplied, into one of the two sciew holes in the bed, as
shown.
2. Adjust the Guide to the required distance between the
needle and the Guide, and tighten screw firmly.
3. The Cloth Guide can be adjusted to bring the line of stit
ching as close to the edge of the material as desired, or
as far away as the maximum adjustment permits, which is
about l—½”.

Use this guide for making parallel rows of straight or decora

tive stitching. Attach standard presser foot. Slip U shaped holder
on guide under presser foot thumb screw from the back and
tighten screw Adjust the curved bar for the distance desired
between rows of stitches and set so it presses slightly on the
fabric. By letting the guide ride on the previous stitching line,
successive rows will be an equal distance apart.
-Jr
ZIPPER FOOT
1. Remove the presser foot as previously described, and attach

the Zipper Foot with the same screw as illustrated.
2. By releasing the adjusting screw at the back of the foot,
the foot can be moved to the left or right of the needle,
according to whkh side of the zipper or cording is being
sewn.

CLEANING THE SHUTTLE MECHANISM
When the machine is continually in use, it is necessary to
clean the race at least once a month.
(a) Take out the bobbin case, and release the clip (A) on
both sides of the shuttle race by pushing them down from
the center.
(b) Remove the race ring (B) and take out the shuttle hook
(C).
(c) Remove accumulated thread, etc., from retaining ring,

hook and race body.
(d) Oil again, wipe off surplus oil and replace.
26

OILING THE MACHINE
To see that your machine is always in smooth running condi

tion, you must keep it oiled at all times.
No grease is required, just a drop of oil is sufficient at each

time of oiling. Points to be oiled are illustrated.
To oil your machine thoroughly, open arm cover and face plate
and turn the machine over to get to parts underneath the bed.
After oiling, run the machine at high speed for a few minutes
to let the oil penetrate to all parts.
Use only a good sewing machine oil. Do not use common
household oil. Do not over-oil.
