For ordinary stitching, the tension on the upper and under threads
should be adequate, and just sufficiently strong to lock both threads in
the center of the work, as shown above ( A ) .
If the tension on the needle is too tight, or if that on the bobbin
thread is too loose, the needle thread will lie straight along the upper
surface of the material, thus making an imperfect stitch, as shown
above ( B ) .
If the tension of the bobbin thread is too tight, or if that on the
needle too loose, the bobbin thread will be straight along the under
side of the material, thus making an imperfect stitch, as shown above
(C).

The length of stitch can be ad-
justed by turning the stitch dial
(A), and the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3,
4 on the stitch plate w i l l help you
to select the stitch length w h i c h
you desired.
To increase the length of stitch,
turn the stiteh dial to the right
(...to 4) and to sew the short
length of stitch, t u r n the stitch
dial to the left ( . . . t o 0 ) .

DARNER. iiiiiyiiliiiiiliPiiiiiHiijij^
Catch between thumb and fore-
finger the fringer of (B) darner and
press down then the darner ( A ) jump
up, and release the pressure on sew-
ing clothes automatically, then you
are ready to darn or embroidery.
Large repairs, fine materials, em-
broidery and applique are best
done with a hoop.
It is advisable that you practice
carefully on scrap material before
attempting and major repair so that you will learn to control the stitch-
ing evenly. Be sure to keep the material constantly moving by pressure
of your fingers inasmuch as permitting the cloth to remain in one place
while sewing may cause your thread to break.
Upon completion of your use of the Darner, simply press the device
down to its normal position. Also turn the drop-feed knob back to
regular sewing.
If you want to sew the fine fabric, silk etc., you will
get good result to press the darner at medium height

liiiiir T O R E G U L A T E PRESSURE OF T H E PRESSER FOOT IN R E G U L A R SEWING.
Always maintain only enough pressure to keep the cloth moving and to per-
mit the machine to make a straight seam. When goods do not feed through i
the machine properly, there may be too much pressure of the presser foot, i
Adjust this condition by allowing the darning device to rise a bit. T e s t this i
adjustment before sewing. II you wish, you can instead adjust the machine i
for sewing heavier fabrics by adjusting the Drop-Feed. :
If your machine has been standing idle for many months,
it will require a thorough cleaning and oiling that can best
be done by your sewing machine dealer.
O L NC
Use only a good grade of oil.
Inferior oils may cause the ma-
chine to become sluggish.
* Use only oil whose label speci-
fies "for Sewing Machines."
* If your machine is used continuously, it should be oiled every day;
preferably when you are done using the machine for the day. If not
in constant use, oil the machine before using.
# Use ONE drop of oil on bearings, and wherever one part rubs against
another, or turns within another part.
# Some such parts are visible to the eye. Others are hidden inside
the castings. Hence look for all oil holes in the castings as indicated
by arrows in the picture. Insert the oil can nozzle well into the oil
hole.
Before oiling the oil hole to the RIGHT of the spool-pin on top of
the machine, turn the balance wheel until the needle is DOWN at its
lowest point, and look into the oil hole to see that the oil receptable
on the shaft is in position.
Also remove the face plate by loosening the screw near the top and
lower, and lifting the face plate up and off. Turn the balance wheel
slowly by hand and watch the mechanism under the face plate to see
which parts move and require oil.
Next, put three drops of oil in the bobbin raceway after the race
has been removed as described at the top of page 12.
The machine is also to be oiled from the back. Loosen the screw
holding the metal plate, move the plate out of the way, and tighten
the screw to hold it there. T u r n the balance wheel slowly in order to
see which parts move and require oil.
To Clean Oil
Lint, dust and threads collecting in the
machine will cause it to become sluggish.
To clean the machine, first disconnect the
electric cord. Then remove the needle,
presser foot and hinged needle plate.
Also remove the bobbin and bobbin case.
Brush the exposed parts thoroughly. Re-
move any packed lint with a toothpick.
Clean the inside of the bobbin case and
under the spring. Also clean the raceway
as instructed on Page 13. (Leave the ma
chine in this condition for oiling^}
the MACHINE
Then tilt the machine back, and again turn the balance wheel slowly
to locate the bearings and other moving parts. Here, too, you will find
some oil holes in the castings.
Wipe away all excess oil from all parts of the machine. Connect
and run the machine rapidly for a minute to allow the oil to penetrate
into the bearings.
Also sew some scrap material to be sure that no oil will drip from
the needle bar on your material.
1. T u r n the balance wheel by hand until needle is at its highest point.
2. Remove bobbin and bobbin case.
3. T u r n knob (A) one half turn toward you.
4. Turn knob (B) one half turn away from you.
5. Remove retaining (C), and hook (D) by grasping axle of hook ( D ) .
6. Remove accumulated lint and thread from retaining ring, hook and
race body.
7. Replace hook (D) in race body, with axle facing out, forming a
perfect circle w i t h Driver (E).
8. Replace retaining ring (B), polished side out, so that both notch
are under knobs (A) and (B).
9. Lock retaining ring w i t h knobs (A) and (B).
10. Replace bobbin and bobbin case, and commence sewing.
DO NOT A T T E M P T TO FORCE A N Y OF
T H E ABOVE OPERATIONS.
