SEAM GUIDE ON THE STITCH PLATE


Upper and bobbin threads should interlock approximately
in the middle of fabric.

Turn the tension dial to a lower number to


loosen the upper thread tension.

Bobbin thread is visible

Top side of fabric

Turn the tension dial to a higher number to tighten


Upper thread is visible
the upper thread tension

Bottom side of fabric

To sew zigzag stitches, the thread tension should be


set to a slightly weaker tension than when sewing straight
stitches.
You will obtain a nicer stitch when upper thread appears
slightly on bottom side of fabric.
Like shown in drawing, stitches on top side
of fabric are good but bottom side tends to
have a bunch of thread, it usually means that
the upper thread is not threaded correctly (
especially threading of the upper thread
tension regulator may not correct.)Refer to
page 13 for correct threading.

The feed dog will feed the fabric automatically.


Do not pull or push on fabric with hands.
It will cause needle breakages or poor quality
stitches.

Overcasting stitches (width 7.0-5.0) are used


for preventing raveling of fabrics.
Some stitches can sew the seam and
overcasting at the same time.
Therefore, it is convenient for sewing easy to
ravel and stretch fabrics.

USING THE ALL-PURPOSE FOOT

D. Adjust the width and length for various weights


of knit and stretch fabrics.(When using
overcasting foot,do not change the width
narrower than 5.0 mm
E. For ½ inch seam allowances, sew then trim the
excess fabric close to the stitching. Be careful
not to cut thread when cutting the fabric edge.

This stitch will sew without stitches showing on right side of fabric.

Note:
If too much of the stitching shows on the right side

width or move the guide on the foot to the left.
