ELECTRONIC

NEEDLE CONTROL

Needle stops precisely in up or down position

The electronic control panel contains three switches. One switch provides an electronically controlled basting or tacking to take the chore out of hand basting. The other two switches electronically control the needle to stop in either the up position for general sewing, or in the down position for intricate work.

STITCH SELECTOR

1.This feature gives you the option of

stopping your machine with the needle m an up position each time.

When the needle is at this high position, there is no possibility of the needle becoming unthreaded when the next seam is started. The upper left button is pushed and lighted for this type of sewing.

2.If you wish for the needle to remain in

the tabnc when you stop (exampte is turning a corner), then push the lower

left switch. Indicator lights quickly show you m what position the needle will stop, See page. 15.

3.The third switch labeled "'Basting" enables you to sew very long stitches by simply tapping the foot control- one complete stitch will be made and you can freely move the fabric to the

desired spot for another basting tack, See page 16 for defin=te setting used to accomplish this.
