to "ON" position.
8. Gently guide the fabric to keep the seam straight by pressing lightly down with your
fingertips on both sides as it feeds through the presser foot (F).
9. When the seam is finished, turn switch
10. Raise the needle
(R)
above the fabric by turning the hand wheel
in a clockwise direction.
11. Raise presser foot
(F)
by lifting the presser foot lever (G).
12. Pull fabric toward you leaving about l 0 inches of thread between the fabric
and the machine.
13. Cut thread by guiding it to the thread cutter (Y), leaving excess thread loosely
lying on the sewing deck in the direction of the presser foot
14. Begin the next seam by following the same operating steps above.
Using the foot pedal:
(Follow steps 1 - 14 on previous page with these exceptions.)
Note: The On-Off switch on the machine should be in the "0FF" position when
using the foot pedal.
1. Make certain machine is in "OFF" position.
2. Plug the foot pedal jack
(M)
into back of machine.
3. Turn machine on by pressing the foot pedal.
4. Press gently on the foot pedal to run the machine. Let up to stop. When you are
finished sewing a seam, ease your foot up and off of the foot pedal.
Adjusting the tension:
1. You should not adjust tension. Tension for maximum performance has been set and
adjusted at the factory. However, if you should find that stitches are too loose or too
tight, you can adjust the stitch.
2. Loosen stitch by turning the tension screw
3. Tighten the stitch by turning the tension screw
may require loosening the stitch. Very light fabric may require tightening the stitch.
Bobbin tension cannot be adjusted.
Tip: Use the light
(W)
in the sewing machine head to illuminate your sewing when more
light is needed.

9. Replace protective cover by securing the screw and bolt with a screwdriver.
Tip: Use smaller needles for more delicate fabrics and larger needles for heavier fabrics.
Winding the bobbin
You can wind your own bobbins with thread from spools you purchase separately to have
a virtually unlimited thread color selection. Match your fabrics or contrast with the thread
shades of your choice.
1. Always remove the bobbin
(S)
from the bobbin case on the machine before you wind
a new bobbin.
2. Place the thread spool
(E)
on the thread spindle (C).
3. Put the bobbin pin into the winder spool
slightly counterclockwise.
4. Take an empty bobbin in one hand. PulI the thread down from the thread spooI
(E)
and thread the loose end through the smalI hole on the bobbin rim from the inside.
5. Leaving the loose end on the outside of the bobbin, wind the thread several turns
around the INSIDE of the bobbin.
6. Place the bobbin on the bobbin pin, making certain that the thread is winding onto the
bobbin in a counterclockwise direction. (This would mean the thread should be
winding under the bobbin, not over it).
7. Turn the machine on so that it spins.
8. Hold the thread Iightly, guiding it gently through your thumb and index finger.
9. When the bobbin is full, switch off the machine. Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case
using the instructions for threading the machine.
Note: The machine is designed to allow you to sew sleeves easier. First, lift up the presser
foot
(F)
and position the sleeve under the needle. Put the bobbin part of the sleeve in the
gap between the platform and the base. Lower the presser foot and follow steps 5-13 in
the section of operating the machine on page 4. Now you can sew the sleeves easily.
