(4)
- Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel
and up left channel. (5) During this process it is helpful to
hold the thread between the spool and thread guide.
- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to
left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then
downwards again. (6)
- Now pass the thread behind the horizontal thread guide,
and then behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (7) and
then down to the needle which should be threaded from
front to back.

Thread Tension
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: “4”.
To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.
To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.
1. Normal thread tension for straight stitch sewing.
2. Thread tension too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn
dial to higher number.
3. Thread tension too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial
to lower number.
4. Normal thread tension for zig zag and decorative sewing.
Correct thread tension is when a small amount of the upper
thread appears on the bottom side of fabric.
Lower thread tension
The bobbin tension has been set correctly at the factory, so
you do not need to adjust it.
Please note:
- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch
functions, thread or fabric.
- A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom)
is usually only desirable for straight stitch construction
sewing.
- 90% of all sewing will be between ”3” and ”5”.
- For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread
tension should generally be less than for straight stitch
sewing.
- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer
stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread
appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

How to Choose Your Pattern
13
Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching
Set the Pattern Selector Dial to “ ”.
The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the setting of
stitch length dial approaches “0“.
Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at “3“ or below.
Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches.
Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching
For straight stitch sewing, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to
the straight stitch setting. Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and
the length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial
approached "0". The length of the individual stitches will
increase as the dial approaches “4“. Generally speaking, use
a longer stitch length when sewing heavier weight fabrics or
when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter stitch
length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or when using a
ner needle or thread.
Stitch Length Dial
14

Choosing Stretch Stitch Patterns
17
For hems on curtains, trousers, skirts, etc.
Blind hem for stretch fabrics.
Blind hem for rm fabrics.
Set the Stitch Length Dial with the range shown on the
diagram at the right. Blind hems, however, are normally sewn
with a longer stitch length setting. Sew a test rst to make
sure the machine settings are appropriate for the fabric.
Blind Hem:
Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Fold back
(as shown in Fig. 1) against the right side of the fabric with
the top edge of the hem extending about 7 mm (1/4") to the
right side of the folded fabric.
Start to sew slowly on the fold, making sure the needle
touches slightly the folded top to catch one or two fabric
threads. (2)
Unfold the fabric when hemming is completed and press.
