Blindhem Foot 3 This foot is used for blindhem stitches. The toe on the foot guides the fabric. The red guide on the foot is designed to ride along the fold of the hem edge. Note: Always use at least 5mm stitch width when using Blind Hem Foot 3. If using a stitch width other than the recommended, swing the needle by turning the hand wheel to make sure the needle doesnt hit the metal pin in the foot.

Spool Pins Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all types of thread. The main spool pin is used in a

the horizontal position for normal threads and the vertical position for large spools or specialty threads.

Main Spool Pin Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool pin. Make sure that the thread reels off the spool counter clock-wise and slide on a second spool cap. Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same way. If you experience problems with the thread, turn it in the opposite way or use the vertical position. Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread spool. For narrow thread spools, use a smaller spool cap in front of the spool. For large thread spools, use a larger spool cap in front of the spool. The flat side of the spool cap should be pressed firmly against the spool. There should be no space between the spool cap and the thread spool.

Auxiliary Spool Pin The auxiliary spool pin is used when wind- ing a bobbin thread from a second spool of thread or for a second spool when sewing with a twin needle. Insert the auxiliary spool pin into the hole at

spool cap and place a felt pad under the thread spool. This is to prevent the thread from reeling off too fast. Do not place a spool cap on top of the spool pin as that would prevent the spool from rotating.

Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70-120 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for size 60 needles or smaller, wing needles or twin needles. There are also some optional accessories that require manual threading of the needle. When threading the needle manually, make sure that the needle is threaded from front to back.

Note: When you are using a twin needle, you might need to reduce the stitch width to pre- vent damage of the twin needle, stitch plate or presser foot. How much you need to reduce it depends on the width and/or the size of the twin needle.

Note: The weight and irregular surface of specialty threads such as metallic increases the amount of friction on the thread. By reduc- ing the tension, the risk of needle breakage is prevented.

Note: If the dial is turned counterclockwise too much, it could come off. If this happens, simply re- place the dial and turn it clockwise until it stays in place. For heavy fabric, tighten the pressure by turn- ing the dial clockwise. Note: If the dial is turned clockwise until it comes to a stop, it has reached the maximum pressure available. Do not try to turn the dial any further!

Thread Tension To set the thread tension, turn the dial on top of the machine. Depending on the fabric, bat- ting, thread, etc, the tension may need to be adjusted.

For the best stitch appearance and durability, make sure the needle thread tension is correctly adjusted. For general sewing, the threads evenly meet between the two layers of fabric

If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric, the needle thread tension is too

If top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, the needle thread tension is too loose

For decorative stitches and buttonholes, the top thread should be visible on the underside of the fabric. Make a few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going to sew and check the tension.

Adjustable Needle Position When a straight stitch is selected, the stitch width dial can be used to adjust the needle position from 0-6 mm. This is convenient when you need to adjust the position of the stitch for example when topstitching. Note: Before you turn the stitch width dial, raise the needle to its highest position, other- wise it may bend or break. On model 150s/160s the needle position is adjusted from the center to the left. On model 130s/140s the needle position is ad- justed from the center to the right.

Start to Sew Straight Stitch

Raise the presser foot and position the fab- ric under it, next to a seam allowance guide line on the needle plate. On the bobbin cover

Lower the needle to the point where you want to start. Lower the presser foot and pull the threads toward the back. Press the foot con- trol. Gently guide the fabric along the seam guide letting the machine feed the fabric. Note: Some sewing is done more easily by chang- ing the needle position, e.g. topstitching a collar or sewing in a zipper. The needle position is de- termined by the stitch width dial (0 is center, 6 is left/right, see page 22).

Change Sewing Direction To change sewing direction, stop the machine and turn the handwheel toward you to bring the needle down into the fabric. Raise the presser foot. Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing direction as desired. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing in the new direction.

Finish Sewing Press the reverse stitch lever and sew several stitches in reverse at the end of the seam. Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric, pulling the threads to the back. Pull the threads up and into the thread cutter. The threads are cut the proper length for starting the next seam.

Reinforced Straight Stitch This stitch is stronger than regular straight stitch, due to the fact that it is a triple and elastic stitch. The reinforced straight stitch can be used for heavy stretch fabrics, for crotch seams which are subject to consider- able strain and for topstitching heavy fabrics. The stitch is sewn with two stitches forward and one stitch backward, forming a seam that does not rip easily. Carefully guide the fabric while sewing as the fabric moves back and forth.

Three-Step Zigzag Stitch Three-step zigzag stitch is used to overcast raw edges. Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side and overcasts the edge on the right side. The stitch can also be used as an elastic stitch to allow seams to stretch when sew- ing knit fabrics.

Tip: When sewing, guide the fabric edge along the metal pin of the foot. By doing so, the stitches form over the pin and prevent the fabric from puckering.

Note: If using a stitch width other than the recommended, swing the needle by turning the hand wheel to make sure the needle doesnt hit the metal pin in the foot.

Corded Buttonhole (Stretch Fabrics) When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics we recommend cording the buttonhole to increase the stability and to keep the but- tonhole from stretching out. 1. Loop a piece of heavy thread or pearl

cotton over the finger at the back of

the foot, toward the front, then secure

columns will stitch over the cord. 3. When the buttonhole is finished, lift

slack. 4. Thread the cord ends into a needle, pull

to the wrong side and tie ends before cutting excess.

Carefully cut your buttonhole open with a seam ripper.

Use seam ripper and cut the buttonhole open from both ends towards the middle.

The density of the buttonhole is adjusted

Note: Density varies according to the fabric. Al- ways test sew a buttonhole on the fabric you are using to sew the buttonhole.

Tips: Slightly reducing upper thread tension will

produce better results. Use an extra stabilizer for fine or stretchy

fabrics.
