Changing thread

The following is an easy way to change threads:

1. Cut the thread in use near the spool, behind the guides on

the telescopic thread stand.

2. Remove the thread spool and place the new thread on the

spool pin.

3. Tie the end of the new thread to the end of the old thread.

Cutthethreadtailsto2-3cminlengthandrmlypullboth

threads to test knot security.

4. Raise the presser foot.

5. First note tension dial settings and then turn the tension

dialsdownto“0”.

6. Pull the threads through the machine one at a time until the

knots are in front of the needle. If the threads do not pull

easily, check for tangles on thread guides or looping under

thread stand.

7. Cut the thread behind the knot and thread the needle.

8. Return tension dials to previous settings.

Note: When using standard thread spools, place the thread

unreeling disc as shown to prevent the thread from getting

caught on the edge of the spool.

Start sewing

1. When the machine is completely threaded, close the front

cover and bring all of the threads over the stitch plate and

slightly to the left under the presser foot.

2. Ensure that the upper blade moves against the lower blade

correctly by turning the handwheel slowly toward you. If

the blades are not moving correctly, check if there are any

fabric or waste thread stuck between the blades.

3. Hold the threads and apply a slight tension.

4. Turn the hand wheel toward you 2 or 3 complete turns

to start making a thread chain. Check if all threads wind

aroundthestitchngerofthestitchplate.Ifthethreads

donotwindaroundthenger,makesureeachthreadis

threaded correctly.

5. Continue holding the thread chain while pressing the foot

control.Sewuntilthechainis5-8cminlength.

6. Place fabric under the front of the presser foot and sew a

test sample. Guide the fabric slightly with your left hand

whilesewing.Donotpullonthefabricasthismaydeect

the needle, causing it to break.

7. When you reach the end of the fabric, continue sewing

whiledrawingthenishedfabricgentlybackwardsandto

the left. This is called chaining off. It prevents the threads

from coming undone and prepares for next sewing.

8. Cut off the thread chain 2-5 cm behind the presser foot

using the thread cutter on the left side of the machine. Pull

the threads around the thread cutter from the back, then

toward you.
