Straight stitch is most frequently used for all types of sewing. Let’s begin by following the steps below.

NOTE: Based upon the weight of the fabric, slight “fine tuning” of the tension may be desired.

1.SETTINGS

A.Thread tension control

Presser foot - General purpose foot

B. Reverse stitch button

Thread tension control - 5

C. Presser foot lifter

2.Pull both threads under the presser foot toward the back of the machine, leaving about 4” (10cm) clear.

3.Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the presser foot lifter.

4.Turn the hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise) until the needle enters the fabric.

5.Start the machine. Guide the fabric gently with your hands. When reaching the edge of the material, stop the sewing machine.

NOTE: The needle plate has both metric and inch markings as an aid for guiding your fabric when sewing a seam.

6.First turn the handwheel toward you (counter-clockwise) until the needle is at its highest position. Raise the presser foot, draw materials to the rear and cut off excess thread with the thread cutter located on the bottom of face cover as shown.

NOTE: To secure the stitching and avoid raveling, press the reverse stitch switch and sew a few stitches at the start and end of the seam.

Le point droit est le point le plus utilisé pour toute genre de couture. Apprenez à vous servir correctement de la machine, en suivant les étapes ci-dessous.

REMARQUE: en fonction du poids du tissu, une légère mise au point fine de la tension peut être nécessaire.

1.RÉGLAGES

A. Réglage de la tension du fil supérieur

Pied presseur - Pied universel

B. Touche couture arrière

Réglage de la tension du fil supérieur - 5

C. Levier du pied presseur

2.Tirez les deux fils sous le pied presseur vers l’arrière de la machine, en laissant environ 15 cm (6 po) de fil.

3.Placez le tissu sous le pied presseur et abaisser le pied.

4.Tourner le volant vers vous(sens antihoraire), jusqu’à ce que l’aiguille pénètre dans le tissu.

5.Démarrez la machine. Guidez le tissu légèrement avec les mains. Lorsque vous arrivez au bord du tissu, arrêtez la machine à coudre.

REMARQUE: la plaque d'aiguille est dotée de marques métriques et impériales pour faciliter le guidage du tissus, lorsque vous piquez la couture.

6.Tournez d’abord le volant vers vous (sens antihoraire), jusqu’à ce que l’aiguille arrive à sa position la plus haute, puis relevez le pied presseur, tirez le tissu vers l’arrière et coupez la longueur de fil excessive au moyen du coupe fil placé au bas de la plaque frontale, comme indiqué sur l’illustration.

REMARQUE: pour sécuriser la couture et éviter les effilochages, appuyez sur le bouton de couture arrière et effectuez la couture de quelques points au début et à la fin de la couture.
