REPLACING PRESSER FOOT WITH SHANK WINDING A BOBBIN
Presser feet with built-in shanks can be replaced as follows: Winding a bobbin is quick and easy when you follow the directions below. Always wind the
bobbin before threading the machine.

Turn machine off.
Raise needle and presser foot.
Loosen presser foot screw (1) and
remove presser foot with shank (2),
guiding it toward you and to the right.
To replace presser foot with shank,
hook shank around the presser bar
and tighten presser foot screw.
* Push in indent (1) on hand wheel disc. This will stop the needle from moving.
Place spool of thread on spool pin.
Slide spool cap (2) firmly over rim of spool to prevent thread tangling.
Lead thread from spool and snap into thread guide post (3).
Wind thread clockwise around front of bobbin winder tension disc (4).
' Pass thread end, from inside, through small hole in rim of bobbin.
Place bobbin on spindle and push it to the right.
Holding thread end, step on speed controller to run machine until desired amount
of thread is wound.
Cut thread; push bobbin to the left and remove it from spindle.
Trim thread end from top of bobbin.
Return hand wheel disc to sewing position by pressing on side opposite indent.

ATTACHING FEED COVER (F)

The feed cover keeps the feed from moving the fabric.

Raise needle and presser foot.

Open slide plate.
Slide feed cover on top of needle plate,
pressing tabs (1) and (2) into holes.
Close slide plate.
To remove, open slide plate and liP

IMPORTANT THREADING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine features a special Easy Threading System. Even if you
STOP have sewn before, take the time to learn how to properly thread the
- machine,and you will avoid serious sewing problems in the future.
.
1 Raise presser fo.ot lever. This separates
the tension discs in the machine that you
will be feeding the thread through in step
5.
Turn handwheel toward you to raise
needle to highest position. Remove
spool cap.
3. Place spool of thread on spool pin A with
Thread Retaining Slit to right. Slide spool
cap onto spool pin until it touches spool
to prevent thread from tangling. For large
spools of thread, larger end of spool
cap should touch spool. For smal
spools, smaller end should touch spool.
. \
--
4. Using two hands, pull thread down into
thread guide post B until it snaps into the
round hole.
5. Holding thread secure atB, guide thread
down threading channel to tension sys-
tem C. Pull thread firmly up to top of
channel D, and then back down again.
6. Before threading needle, test for proper
threading as follows: Pull a few inches of
thread through threading channel. Lower
presser foot to engage tension discs,then
pull a few more inches through. There
should be a noticeable difference b e
tween the thread tension when the press-
er foot is down and when it is up. If the
thread pulls through easily when the
presser foot is down, the machine is not
properly threaded and sewing problems
will result. Rethread the machine and test
again.
IMPORTANT NOTE : If thread balls up in the bobbin case or knots up on the uw
derside of the fabric, the machine may not be properly threaded. DO NOT adjust the
thread tension until you have checked for proper threading using the test described in
step 6.
