Remove the tray by sliding it to the left. Leveling the machine base plate To make sure your machine stands steadily on your sewing surface you can adjust the base plate height.
13 B D C F E A Prepar ations V ertical position Raise the spool pin to the vertical position. Slide on the large 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.
14 F G A B C EF D Prepar ations Needle threader The needle threader allows you to thread the needle automatically. The needle must be in its highest position to use the built-in needle threader. Press the needle up/down button to make sure the needle is fully raised.

Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side and overcasts the edge on the right side. Stich number 5 can also be used as an elastic stitch to allow seams to stretch when sewing knit fabrics.
25 Patterns A B Sewing Corded buttonhole (Str etch fabrics) When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics we recommend cording the buttonhole to increase the stability and to keep the buttonhole from stretching out. 1. Loop a piece of heavy thread or pearl cotton over the fi nger at the back of the buttonhole foot 5B.
26 Patterns Sewing Darning and mending Darning a small hole or a tear before it becomes larger can save a garment. Choose a thread in a color as close to your garment as possible. 1. Place fabric or stabilizer in position under the hole or tear in your garment.
27 Sewing Quilting A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between. To sew three layers together, you have a wide variety of stitches and techniques to choose from. Stitch-in-the-Ditch Use the Fancy stitch foot 1A with IDT™ system.
