F. THREAD CUTTER BUTTON

Press this button after sewing to cut the upper and bobbin threads. The machine will cut both threads automatically.

CAUTION:

1.Do not press this button when there is no fabric under the presser foot or no need to cut the threads. The thread may tangle, resulting in damage.

2.Do not use this button when cutting thread thicker than #30, nylon thread or other speciality threads. In this case, use the thread cutter (H).

3.Do not use the thread cutter button when sewing with a twin needle or a hemstitching (wing) needle.

G.DROP FEED LEVER

The feed dogs project up through the needle plate, directly below the presser foot. Their function is to move the fabric while it is being sewn. The drop feed lever 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.

H. THREAD CUTTER

Use this cutter if the thread cutter button is not used.

1.Raise the presser foot and bring fabric and threads backward after sewing.

2.Hook the threads to the thread cutter from back to front.

3.Pull fabric and cut threads.

I.PRESSURE REGULATOR

The correct pressure allows fabrics to feed properly while sewing. The setting of the presser foot pressure is determined mainly by the weight of the fabric being sewn. For lightweight fabrics such as sheers, batiste, voile, etc, the pressure is decreased. For heavyweight fabrics like denim or canvas, the pressure in increased.

To increase the pressure, turn dial to 3. To decrease the pressure, turn dial to 1. For most fabrics, turn dial to 2.

J.TOP COVER

To open the top cover, lift up the left side of the cover.

K.HAND WHEEL

By turning the hand wheel, the needle will raise or lower. You should always turn hand wheel toward you.
