5.Set the stitch length control lever.

-Tapes: between "3" and "4"

-Elastics: "4"

6.Adjust the presser adjusting dial 2

-at "0" when sewing with tapes.

-at desirable number for contraction when sewing with elastics.

NOTE:

Contraction will be increased with larger number.

7.Make trial sewing and adjust thread tensions. Example of proper sewing seam:

<C>

<A>

<B>

<D>

 

<A> Surface

<B> Tape

<C> Surface

<D> Elastic

NOTE:

Thread tensions are similar to normal overedging when sewing with tapes.

It is recommendable to have a stronger tension for under looper and over looper for beautiful finish.

It is advisable to make trial sewing on each material / thread due to different contraction.

1.Fold the fabric according to the line for pearl fitting.

2.Place the fabric at needle dropping point keeping the folded edge with guide 1.

3.Use the screw 2 and adjust the clearance between folded edge needle so that it becomes 1mm to 1.5mm.

4.Place the pearl through the guide just front of guide tunnel 3.

Test sewing

1.Sew turning hand wheel by hand until the pearl comes through the tunnel.

2.Sew at slow speed while guiding the strand of pearls and fabric by hand.

3.Tie both ends of thread at the beginning and end.

NOTE:

Thread tension is easy to loosen especially for small size pearls. Retract movable stitch tongue for better stitching.
