[. . . ] Use this sewing machine only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this manual. Never operate this sewing machine if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the sewing machine to the nearest authorized dealer or service center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment. [. . . ] Bring thread backward and pass through the slit from right to left. Bring thread to the left and pull down thread toward you along the slit. To thread the take-up lever, draw thread up and bring thread back down again from right to left along the slit. Draw thread through thread guide from right side opening. Pass through needle eye from front to back. Refer to next page for instructions on how to use needle threader. Do not lower the threader lever while machine is operating. If it is not so, raise needle by pressing needle up/down button. Lower the threader slowly and draw thread through thread guide (a) and pull toward the right. The threader will turn and the hook pin will go through the needle eye. Hook will turn and pass thread through needle eye while making a loop. WIDTH OF SEAM ALLOWANCE Guide lines on the needle plate indicate the distance from the center needle positon. To keep the width of seam allowance, guide fabric edge aligning this guide line. If it is difficult to obtain correct tensions depending on the type of fabric and threads being used, adjust the upper thread tension dial to settings shown below. Correct Thread Tensions Upper and bobbin threads should lock approximately in the middle of fabric. When bobbin thread appears on top side of fabric Turn the tension dial to the left (-). When upper thread appears on the bottom side of fabric Turn the tension dial to the right (+). Thread Tension for Zigzag Stitches 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 on bottom side of fabric. Helpful Hint If your sewing appears as shown on drawing, stitches on top side of fabric are good but bottom side tends to look like a towel, it could be that the upper thread is not threaded correctly (especially threading of the upper thread tension regulator may not be correct. Utility stitches are indicated on the pattern chart located inside of the top cover. Use the satin foot for continuous decorative stitch patterns.
