[. . . ] Settings The tension in the upper and lower thread has been set correctly if no twining of the thread is visible on the top or on the underside of the material after sewing. If the tension on only one of the threads is set incorrectly, the resulting seam will be untidy. The stitches lie flat on the material, seams are not formed and the material is not drawn through. ³ a) Setting the upper thread tension You can use the thumbwheel for the upper thread tension to set the tightness of the upper thread. - too tight (higher setting), then the upper thread is loose and the material is being 'sewed' with the lower thread only. - too loose (lower setting), then the lower thread is loose and the material is being 'sewed' with the upper thread only. The upper thread tension is normally set between 4 and 6. » b) Setting the lower thread tension You can turn the screw on the bobbin case to set the tightness of the lower thread. The lower thread tension has been set correctly if the bobbin case unwinds slowly and evenly ("Drop test"). 14 c) ³ · Setting the presser foot pressure Here you can set the pressure with which the material is pressed onto the stitch plate. · Using the little screwdriver supplied, loosen the screw at the top of the front cover. Now use the lever to set the presser foot pressure, for example "0" if no pressure is to be applied, for example for darning with freehand stitches "1" for light fabrics (curtains) "2" for average fabrics (normal) "3" for heavy fabrics. ¿ d) Stitch width Here you can set the width of seam for zigzag patterns. First raise the needle fully, by turning the handwheel. Select a stitch width from 0. . . 5 using the selector wheel (0 = narrow / 5 = wide) Important: If the twin needle has been inserted, the selector wheel should be set to "3" maximum. If a higher setting is selected, the twin needle will break! e) Stitch length Here you can set the speed at which the material is carried forward when sewing. This therefore determines the gap (length) between the stitch points. Select a stitch length on the stitch length selector wheel (0 = short / 4 = long). 15 10. Attach the corresponding sew foot, as described in Chapter 8. Make the required settings as shown in the table on the right. If two values are set for the stitch length, these are understood as "from . . . to . . . " values. g) Straight stitch This is the most frequently used type of stitch. The zigzag sew foot is used for both straight and zigzag stitches. A smaller size of stitch should be selected for sewing finer materials. h) Zigzag The zigzag stitch is universal. The satin stitch pattern consists of short stitches set closely to each other, and is suitable for sewing initials, figures, appliqué, etc. . 18 Sewing (stitch pattern selector) & sewing table accoutrements Stitch pattern Straight stitch Stitch length Sew foot Stitch width 0 A Zigzag 0-5 b C d e F-H i j k Blind hem Box stitch Three-step zigzag stitch Blind stitch Buttonhole Single overlock stitch Honeycomb stitch 3-5 5 3-5 5 5 Slant over edge stitch Stretch zigzag stitch L Stretch straight stitch 0 M Double overlock stitch Free-hand embroidery None 5 0-5 19 i) Blind hem Fold the material as shown.
