ZIGZAG WIDTH CONTROL DIAL • For wider zigzag stitch, select a higher number.
APPLICATIONS OF THE STRAIGHT STITCH S SEAMS T The normal stitch length for most fabrics is 3, but the length chosen should R depend on the fabric and area of usage. Usually, heavier fabrics require longer stitches, and lighter weight fabrics require shorter stitches.
ELASTIC THREAD SHIRRING Wind elastic thread onto bobbin, as shown, let ting the thread pass through your fingers. The thread should be wound smoothly without stret ching. Place bobbin in case as usual, being sure that the elastic is drawn through the tension.
• ENDING SEAM/REMOVAL OF FABRIC Stitch to the edge of the fabric, then press the reverse stitch button and backstitch for a few stitches to reinforce the end of the seam. Turn the hand wheel until the take-up lever is in its highest position so that the stitch is completed and the threads will pull freely.
SEWING ON BUTTONS Zigzag stitching is a very easy and convenient method of sewing on button without a shank. Place the button so its left hole comes directly under the needle, then gently lower the button sewing foot.
SATIN STITCHING This is useful for decoration such as tapering, manual designed embroidery, monogramming, and applique. The satin stitch, which is a very close zigzag stitch, is obtained by setting the stitch length as near to “0” as possible without stopping the feeding action.
Pattern :/‘V/ Length: 0 Width 15 Feed Dog: Pressure: Darn Foot: None Needle. 2, 1 or 3 FREE HAND MONOGRAMMING For giving garments and linens a personalized touch, first transfer the design to the right side of the fabric. An embroidery hoop is recommended especially for soft fabrics and toweling.
GATHERING OVER CORD Ordinary gathering with a basting stitch often breaks while pulling in fullness. A small zigzag across a cord such as crochet thread or carpet thread, gives a much stronger cord for gathering fullness into fabrics. Once the gathers have been stitched in place, the cord can be pulled out in order to eliminate bulk.
r MENDING A TEAR OR INSTANT DARNING The multiple stitch zigzag provides a strong and easy repair for torn garments. It gives an almost invisible mend, especially when a fine darning thread is used. To mend a tear, hold the torn edges close together and stitch down the middle.
Pattern: A/vs Length: % Width: 4-5 Feed Dog: ...bA. Pressure: Normal Foot: All Purpose Needle Position: 2 An unusual way of hemming or finishing edges of tricot or soft knits is by a flutter edge. Hemm ing in this manner is just like overcasting an edge, but the fabric is stretched in back and in front of the needle as you sew.
UNDERSTITCHING FACINGS The multiple stitch zigzag is an excellent choice for understitching and eliminating bulk in facing seam allowances. After attaching the facing to the garment, trim and clip the seam allowance as usual.
APPLICATIONS OF THE BLIND HEM STITCH BLIND HEMMING The blind hem stitch provides a durable hem finish that is almost invisible on garments, drapes, and curtains. It is done easily with straight or slightly curved hems. With a little practice it will be a very quick and easy hem application and the hem will never need repairing.
SHELL TUCK The blind hem stitch gives a very effective and easy way to make a shell tuck for lingerie, pillow cases, and decorative finishes. This works well on knits or on the bias of soft, woven fabrics.
DECORATIVE STITCHES Combining rows of decorative stitch patterns is an easy, inexpensive way to create your own braids and trims for garments and household articles. Blending or contrasting colors of thread may be used to compliment the color of the fabric.
APPLICATIONS OF THE STRETCH BLIND HEM HEMMING The stretch blind hem stitch gives a stretchy, durable hem finish to knit fabrics. The two tiny zigzag stitches enable the hem to stretch with the fabric. It may also prevent woven fabrics from raveling. Proceed as for the regular blind hem stitch on page (25).
BUTTONHOLES Various fabrics require various methods of sewing buttonholes. Four different methods are given below, with suggested uses. If you are in doubt as to which method is best for your fabric, test the methods in question and choose the best according to the finished appearance.
BUILT-IN BUTTONHOLER This buttonhole eliminates the need for pivoting the fabric, It is used most often on light and medium woven fabrics. 1. Set the buttonhole control dial at the (#2k buttonhole picture. Lower the needle into the mark at the top end of the buttonhole.
I TURN-AROUND BUTTONHOLES It is possible to make small and dainty buttonholes if you desire or repair damaged buttonholes. This entails a slight shifting of the cloth but with some practice, good buttonholes can be achieved. 1. Mark the length of the buttonhole on the cloth as shown in figure.
CORDED BUTTONHOLES Cording gives a reinforced raised button hole. It is excellent for use on bulky, woven fabric, or knits in which the stitching often gets buried and makes cutting difficult. On knits, a corded buttonhole will help keep the fabric from stretching out of shape.
SEAMS This stitch may be used on knits and woven fabrics, in areas of stress as a reinforcement stitch. It is ex celnt for curved seams such as armholes and crotch seams. For active wear such as ski pants and girdle fabrics which endure a lot of stress in bending and stretching, this stitch may be used for seaming throughout the garment.
APPUCATION OF THE RICK-RACK TOPSTITCHING/RICK-RACK A decorative topstitch can be produced with the rick-rack stitch. Stitch around the structural lines of the garment for a special effect. Topstitch braid or a decorative inset to add an additional creative flair.
APPLICATIONS SMOCKING STITCH This stitch is very versatile and can be corded or used as a topstitch as other reverse stitch patterns. SEAMING SMOCKING STITCH The smocking stitch can be used to seam fine gauze type fabrics or bulky sweater knits, this results in less bulk for a finished 1/4 inch seam.
APPLICATIONS ULTRA STRETCH -‘/‘- SEAM ING ULTRA STRETCH On most knits, a 1/4 inch finished seam, such as stitch and overcast or the overlock stitch, is more desirable than a 5/8 inch opened seam allowance.

TWIN NEEDLE SWING TWIN NEEDLE SEWING EFFECTS To use a twin needle in the machine, remove the single needle, and insert the twin needle into clamp with the flat side to the back. Threading of the machine when using a twin needle is the same as normal with these exceptions: 1.
PIN TUCKS Narrow tucks, sewn with thread that matches the fabric, produce subtle decoration on plain fabrics. Using the twin needle, sew straight lines on the fabric guiding the edge of the presser foot along each successive tuck to make parallel rows.
CORDING AND ZIPPER FOOT The cording and zipper foot is used to sew in zippers and insert cording. Zipper: Set the needle position at “1” or “3” as needed to sew the right side or the left side of zipper respectively, so that the foot sews very close to the zipper teeth.
• The All Purpose Foot This foot is flat on the bottom and has a wide hole to ac- commodate wide stitches. This foot should be used for all normal sewing. • The Straight Stitch Foot This foot is flat on the bottom and has only a small hole to accommodate only straight stitching.
ADDITIONAL SPECIAL ACCESSORIES ROLLER FOOT Ideal for use on vinyls, imitation leathers, jerseys, syn thetics, velvets and denim. This foot helps keep both layers of fabric feeding the same. On very slippery fabrics, the roller foot helps prevent skipped stitches.
Caution: Before cleaning the machine, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. BOBBIN CASE BOBBIN NOTCH / CLEANING HOOK ASSEMBLY 1. With take-up lever in highest position, and remove bobbin case. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Turn clamps outward and remove shuttle race cover.
CHANGING LIGHT BULB Open the face plate by pulling towards the left. Turn the light bulb counterclockwise to remove. Replace the bulb by turning clockwise. A majority of service calls could be avoided by following these procedures and by first checking to see that the machine is: 1.
MINOR PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS 1. SKIPPED STITCHES Skipped stitches have become a problem in recent years, especially with the appearance of knit fabrics and polyester threads on the market. Skipped stitches normally can be traced to four basic causes: A.
3. NEEDLE COMES UNTHREADED A. Take-up lever is not in correct position as you start sewing. Always start and end with your take-up lever in its highest position. 4. NEEDLE BREAKS A. Pulling on fabric while sewing bends the needle, this may cause breakage if needle hits the plate.
