  6. Pull 15 cm (6 inches) of both threads backward underneath the foot.

Balancing top thread tension

Instructions from the manual
Balancing top thread tension4 steps
  1. For straight seams, the top and bobbin threads should interlock between the two fabric layers.
  2. Set the tension dial at its mark.
  3. A higher dial number tightens needle-thread tension; a lower number loosens it.
  4. For better zigzag, make top tension slightly looser than bobbin tension: a little top thread should appear on the underside, while bobbin thread should not appear on top.

Needle, thread and fabric chart

Instructions from the manual
Needle, thread and fabric chart5 steps
  1. Use the same thread size and type in the top supply and bobbin.
  2. Select needle and thread to suit the fabric before each project.
  3. Light fabrics—voile, organza, organdy, chiffon and tricot: fine silk, cotton or polyester thread; needle size 9 or 12.
  4. Medium fabrics—linen, cotton, rayon, wool and double knit: cotton, polyester or all-purpose thread; needle size 12 or 14.
  5. Heavy fabrics—denim, tweed, gabardine, canvas and upholstery: polyester, all-purpose or topstitching thread; needle size 14 or 16.

Changing the needle

Instructions from the manual
Changing the needle8 steps
  1. Unplug the machine.
  2. Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you, and lower the foot.
  3. Loosen the clamp screw toward you, counterclockwise.
  4. Remove the needle and insert the replacement with its flat side away from you, pushing it fully upward.
  5. Tighten the screw clockwise with the screwdriver, snugly without overtightening.
  6. A scrap of fabric under the lowered foot helps prevent the needle falling through the plate slot.
  7. Check needles frequently for barbs or blunt tips, which can permanently snag fine fabrics.
  8. As a general rule, change the needle after 6–8 hours of actual stitching.

Pattern selector dial

Instructions from the manual
Pattern selector dialView
Turn the pattern-selector dial until the desired pattern meets the setting mark.

Selecting stretch stitch patterns

Instructions from the manual
Selecting stretch stitch patterns3 steps
  1. Set stitch length to SS for stretch patterns.
  2. If the pattern compresses, turn the length dial toward +; if it stretches out, turn toward −.
  3. Fabric type can affect forward/reverse-feed balance.

Stitch length dial

Instructions from the manual
Stitch length dialView
A higher number makes a longer stitch. At 0 the machine does not feed the fabric.

Useful sewing tips

Instructions from the manual
Useful sewing tips9 steps
  1. Test on the same fabric, thread, stitch type and number of layers as the project; try widths and lengths and check tension before choosing the best result.
  2. To turn a corner, stop, turn the handwheel toward you to lower the needle into the fabric, lift the foot, pivot around the needle, lower the foot and continue.
  3. For curves, stop and change direction slightly.
  4. With zigzag curves, shorten stitch length for a finer stitch.
  5. If thick fabric does not fit, lift the foot to its highest position before placing the fabric.
  6. For elastic fabric or material prone to skipped stitches, use a ballpoint needle and longer stitch; add stabilizer if needed.
  7. Lightweight stabilizer can also help slippery thin fabric or silk.
  8. Baste stretch fabrics first, then sew without stretching.
  9. Use the free arm for trousers, cuffs and confined areas.

Straight stitch

Instructions from the manual
Straight stitch6 steps
  1. Straight stitch: patterns A or B; top tension 2–6; stitch length 1.5–4; all-purpose foot.
  2. Raise the foot and align the fabric to a needle-plate guide.
  3. Lower the needle into the fabric, lower the foot and draw threads toward the back.
  4. Press the foot control and guide gently while the machine feeds the fabric.
  5. Secure seam ends with several reverse stitches.
  6. Raise the foot, pull the fabric and threads backward and cut the threads for the next seam.

Zigzag stitch

Instructions from the manual
Zigzag stitch4 steps
  1. Zigzag stitch: pattern C; top tension 2–5; stitch length 0.5–4; all-purpose foot.
  2. Overcasting with zigzag: pattern C; top tension 1–4; stitch length 1–2; all-purpose foot.

  4. Sew along the seam allowance to help stop raw edges fraying.

Overedge stitch

Instructions from the manual
Overedge stitchView
Pattern E; top tension 1–4; stitch length SS; all-purpose foot. For best results, let the right-hand stitches fall slightly beyond the fabric edge.

Multi-step zigzag stitch

Instructions from the manual
Multi-step zigzag stitch3 steps
  1. Pattern D; top tension 1–4; stitch length 0.5–1.5; all-purpose foot.
  2. Position the fabric so the stitches on the right fall at its edge to help prevent unraveling.
  3. This stitch also supports elastic insertion and decorative sewing.

Straight stretch stitch

Instructions from the manual
Straight stretch stitchView
Patterns A or B; top tension 2–6; stitch length SS; all-purpose foot. The pattern makes two stitches forward and one backward for a seam that resists tearing.

Sewing buttons

Instructions from the manual
Sewing buttons9 steps
  1. Switch off before needle-area adjustments.
  2. Unplug before cleaning, removing covers, lubricating or user servicing.
  3. Sewing buttons: selector C toward B; top tension 1–3; button sewing foot; feed teeth lowered.
  4. Stitch length does not need adjustment.
  5. Position fabric and button under the lowered foot.
  6. Turn the handwheel to ensure the needle clears both openings, then sew 10 stitches.
  7. For a four-hole button, sew the two nearer holes first, slide the button to the rear pair and sew the same way.
  8. Leave 25 cm of upper thread, wind it around the threads between fabric and button and tie securely.
  9. Afterward, restore the feed lever to its original position and turn the handwheel one full turn to re-engage the teeth.

Buttonhole stitch

Instructions from the manual
Buttonhole stitch19 steps
  1. Switch off before needle-area adjustments.
  2. Unplug before cleaning, removing covers, lubricating or user servicing.
  3. Use the buttonhole foot, top tension 1–5 and stitch length 0.5–1.
  4. Practise several buttonholes on matching fabric first and use interfacing to reduce puckering.
  5. Select position 1, draw both threads left under the foot and insert the garment.
  6. Lower the needle at the starting point, lower the foot, sew the required right-side length and stop.
  7. Raise the needle fully by turning the handwheel toward you.
  8. Select position 4/2 and sew 5–6 bottom bartack stitches.
  9. Raise the needle fully, select position 3 and sew the left side to match the right, then stop.
  10. Raise the needle, select position 4/2 and sew 5–6 top bartack stitches.
  11. Raise the foot, remove the fabric and leave about 10 cm of both threads.
  12. Use a hand needle to take the upper thread to the garment’s back and tie the threads on the wrong side.
  13. Open the buttonhole with a seam ripper; a pin across its end helps prevent cutting stitches.
  14. Slightly reduce top tension for best results and use stabilizer with fine or stretchy material.
  15. For stretch or knit fabric, use gimp cord with zigzag sewn over it.
  16. Lift the foot, loop the cord around its rear projection, bring it under the foot toward the front and fix it at the front projection.
  17. Lower the needle at the start and lower the foot.
  18. Sew as above, pull the gimp straight and cut it.
  19. Foot markings guide repeated buttonholes.
