while it is being sewn. The Drop Feed Lever located on the
back of the free arm controls the feed dogs.
For ordinary sewing, move the lever to the right. This raises
feed dogs to their highest position. For most sewing, the lever
should be in this position.
For darning or free-motion embroidery, or whenever fabric is to
be moved by hand, move the lever to the left to lower the feed
dogs.
NOTE:
After sewing with the feed dogs lowered, push the Drop
Feed Lever back to the right to resume sewing with feed
dogs engaged. Push the lever to the right and then turn the
handwheel toward you one full revolution. This will re-engage
the feed dogs.

SETTING UP THE MACHINE
Upper Thread Tension Too Loose
Upper thread will appear on the bottom side of the fabric.
Increase upper thread tension.
Thread Tension for Decorative Stitching
Thread tension should be set to a slightly looser tension than
that for straight stitch.
The upper thread should appear slightly on the bottom side of
your fabric, for example, when doing decorative sewing.
Helpful Hints
1. If your sewing appears as shown in the illustration (stitches
on the top side of the fabric are good, but the bottom side
looks very loopy), it is most likely that the upper thread
is not threaded correctly. Refer to page 19 for correct
threading.
2. If after checking the top thread and the bobbin thread is still
showing on the top side, check the bobbin to see if it is set
correctly. Refer to page 18 for information on correct bobbin
setting.
twIn needle

To prevent accidents:
1. Keep ngers away from all moving parts. Special care
is required around the needle.
2. Do not lower the threader lever while machine is
operating.
NOTE:
The needle threader is used for needle sizes 11/80, 14/90, and
16/100.
1. Lower the presser foot.

embroIdery preparatIon
USING FABRIC AND STABILIZER
Embroidery can be applied to many different types of
fabrics. Regardless of the fabric, it will be necessary to use
an appropriate type of stabilizer. (See page 45 for more
information)
Stabilizer serves as a foundation, holding fabric securely while
the embroidery machine stitches out the design, eliminating
distortion in the fabric and the design.
Different fabrics will require different types of stabilizer,
depending on the nature of the fabric and the density of the
design being embroidered. But most embroidery designs will
stitch out looking their best if the fabric is properly stabilized.
Stabilizer is mainly used as a backing, but at times, a stabilizer
is used on the top of the project as well.
A “Backing” goes on the back side of the area to be
embroidered. It may be hooped along with the fabric or hooped
alone, depending on the fabric and project.
A “Topper” means that an additional stabilizer is placed on the
top of the fabric, either hooped with the fabric or secured in
another manner. Its function is to ensure that the texture or loft
of the fabric is held down, providing a smooth surface for the
embroidery.
Though there are many types of stabilizers available, the most
common types are tear-away, wash away, and cut away.
Stabilizers come in different weights as well. After selecting the
best type of stabilizer for the project, choose the appropriate
weight. A good general rule is that the weight of the stabilizer
be compatible with the fabric.
Tear-away stabilizers are temporary, so once the excess is
removed after embroidering, the fabric itself must be able to
support the design on its own.
Tear-away stabilizers are usually recommended for woven
fabrics.
Cut-away stabilizers are permanent, and therefore a better
choice for supporting embroidery on unstable fabrics, to
prevent distortion. Simply trim away the excess from around
the design. Even after frequent laundering, the embroidery
design will stay intact.
Wash-away stabilizers rinse away from the embroidered area.
Though they are a good choice when sewing very light weight
fabrics, they can also be used as a topping. After removing the
main excess stabilizer, the rest is simply rinsed away.
There are also fusible and non-fusible version of stabilizer
available. Fusible stabilizers can be ironed onto the back of
the area to be embroidered, preventing distortion of the fabric
while hooping.
However, for fabrics that may be more sensitive to ironing,
the non-fusible stabilizers are used. In these cases, another
helpful tool is a temporary fabric spray adhesive. Use this to
temporarily ‘hold’ the fabrics and stabilizer while hooping and
embroidering, to prevent the fabrics from shifting during the
embroidery process.
Knowing how to properly stabilize involves a little trial and error
at rst. Follow the stabilizer manufacturer’s recommendations,
for best results.
