CONTROLS
TOP
TENSION
CONTROL
Probably
the
most
important
control
on
your
machine
is
this
one
that
regulates
your
top
thread
tension.
It
consists
of
discs
between
which
the
thread
passes.
The
pressure
on
these
discs
is
regulated
by
turning
the
dial
on
the
front
of
the
control.
The
higher
the
number,
the
tighter
the
tension.
There
are
many
reasons
for
having
to
reset
your
tension.
The
best
tension
for
one
fabric
may
not
be
correct
for
another.
The
required
tension
depends
uoon
the
stiffness
of
the
fabric,
thick
ness
of
the
fabric,
numbers
of
layers
of
fabric
being
sewn,
as
weU
as
the
type
of
stitch
you
are
making.
It
s
best
to
test
the
stitching
on
a
scrap
of
the
fabric
you
are
using
betore
starting
to
make
a
garment.
To
adlust
for
the
correct
stitcn

ADJUSTING
BOBBIN
TENSIONS
Bobbin
tension
requires
adjusting
less
frequently
than
the
upper
thread
tension.
If
the
stitch
is
satisfactory
but
the
seam
is
puckered,
it
may
be
necessary
to
loosen
the
tension
on
both
the
top
and
bottom
threads.
Be
sure
to
balance
them
as
indicated
on
Page
10.
When
adjusting
the
tension
on
the
bobbin
case,
make
slight
adjustments
with
a
screwdriver.

INCREASE
TENSION
CHECKING
TENSiONS
The
easiest
way
to
check
tensions
is
to
sew
a
medium
zigzag
stitch
on
the
fabric
you
will
be
using.
Use
the
appropriate
type
of
thread
and
needle,
Use
different
colors
of
thread
on
the
bobbin
and
upper
spool.
Sew
a
me
of
zigzag
stitches.
The
bobbin
thread
should
not
show
on
the
top
of
the
fabric.
Adjust
the
top
tension
if
necessary
to
achieve
the
Stitch
balance
mentioned
above.

REVERSE
S11TCH
CONTROL
It
is
best
to
begin
and
end
seams
with
a
few
stitches
taken
in
reverse.
This
is
called
back
tacking.
Back
tacking
fastens
the
end
of
the
seams
firmly
and
prevents
ravehng.
When
reverse
stitching
is
needed,
simply
press
and
hold
the
control
down.during
sewing.
The
fabric
wil[
immediately
start
feeding
backward
and
seam
will
be
fastened.

OTHER
ADJUSTMENTS
OF
MACHINE
IN
SEWING
In
addition
to
the
obvious
controls
of
your
machine
there
are
other
small
regulators
and
controls
to
aid
you
in
using
your
sewing
machine.
PRESSER
FOOT
PRESSURE
REGULATOR
Push
down
outer
ring
of
presser
foot
pressure
regulator
(See
above
illustration).
This
will
release
pressure
of
presser
foot.
To
increase
pressure,
push
down
inner
pin
until
suitable
pressure
is
obtained.
For
ordinary
sewing,
the
inner
pin
should
be
all
the
way
down.
Insufficient
pressure
may
cause
poor
feeding
of
the
fabric,
skipped
stitches,
or
difficulty
in
guiding
the
fabric.
When
sewing
multiple
thickness
or
heavy
fabric
reduce
the
pressure.
Increase
pressure
when
sewing
lighter
weight
fabrics,
If
feed
dog
or
presser
foot
marks
appear
on
the
fabric,
reduce
the
pressure.

DARNING
PLATE
When
you
need
to
feed
the
fabric
by
hand
as
in
darning,
or
sewing
on
buttons,
attach
the
darning
plate
over
the
needle
plate
as
shown
in
Fig.
1.
Be
sure
you
have
the
needle
raised
to
its
highest
position
when
doing
this.
SEWING
LIGHT
The
light
switch
shown
in
Fig.
2
Provides
the
electric
current
for
the
light.
To
turn
on
or
off
the
light,
depress
the
switch.
The
sewing
light
is
located
inside
the
face
cover
plate
as
shown
in
Fig.
3
To
replace
the
bulb,
swing
the
face
cover
plate
open.
Remove
the
bulb
by
turning
bulb
counter
clockwise.
Remove
bulb
from
socket
and
replace
with
new
bulb,
turn
clockwise
until
bulb
fits
snug.
Do
not
exert
strong
pressure
on
bulb
or
the
glass
may
break
causing
injury.

SEAM
GUIDES
Seam
Guides
are
marked
on
either
side
of
the
needle
plate
to
aid
you
in
guiding
your
fabric.
PRESSER
FOOT
LEVER
To
aid
you
in
the
placement
of
heavy
fabrics
under
the
presser
foot,
the
presser
foot
lever
can
raise
the
foot
beyond
the
normal

position.
This
is
also
an
aid
in
crianging
your
presser
feet.

NEEDLES
The
size
of
the
needle
should
confQrm
with
the
size
or
the
thread
and
both
should
be
suitable
to
the
fabric
(See
next
page).
Never
use
a
bent
or
blunt
needle.
Fig.
1
shows
you
the
exact
length
of
your
needle.
Be
sure
you
never
use
one
in
your
machine
that
is
not
this
exact
length.
You
will
find
among
your
accessories
3P
needle
with
blue
shank.
This
special
needle
s
to
be
used
when
sewing
certain
knits
and
certain
difficult
synthetic
fabrics.
If
you
experience
skipped
stitcres
in
any
of
your
sewing,
use
SP
needle.
PLACEMENT
OF
NEEDLE
Raise

position
by
turning
the
hand
wheel
toward
you.
