Controlling the Sewing Speed

The machine has two speeds of sewing control. In the “H” position the switch is in, while in the “L” position the switch is out.

We recommend using the slow speed at the beginning. When you become more experienced and feel confident controlling the machine, you can use the fast speed.

Operating the machine without the foot pedal

1.Lift the needle (R) above the presser foot (F) by turning the had wheel (K) slightly in clockwise direction (away from you.)

2.Raise the presser foot (F) by lifting up on the rear at the machine above the Presser foot bar.

3.Position fabric to be sewn under the presser foot (F) with presser foot (F) in raised position. Make certain seam direction is toward you, aligned with the presser foot (F), with seam location directly under the needle (R).

4.Lower the presser foot (F) by releasing the presser foot lever (G) downward.

5.Rotate the hand wheel (K) in a clockwise direction two full turns to lock and start seam. Stop.

6.Select speed by pressing speed button (L) on face of machine. High speed, button is extended out. Low speed, button is in, flush with machine. Use low speed for intricate work, which requires a lot of stopping, starting and turning fabric. Use high speed for long uninterrupted seams.

7.Turn power switch (A) to “ON” position.

8.Gently guide the fabric to keep the seam straight by pressing it lightly down with your fingertips on both sides as it feeds through the presser foot (F).

9.When the seam is finished, turn switch (A) to off.

10.Raise the needle (R) above the fabric by turning the hand wheel (K) slightly in a clockwise direction.

11.Raise the presser foot (F) by lifting the presser foot lever (G).

12.Pull fabric toward you leaving about 5-10 inches of thread between the fabric and the machine.

13.Cut thread close to fabric, leaving excess thread loosely lying on the sewing deck in the direction of the presser foot (F) and toward you.

14.Begin the next seam in the same manner as above by following operating steps above.

To use the with foot pedal

(Follow steps 1-14 with these exceptions)

1.Make certain machine is in “OFF” position.

2.Plug the foot pedal jack(M) into back of machine.

3.Turn machine on by pressing the foot pedal.

4.Press gently on the foot Pedal to run the machine. Let up to stop. When you are finished

sewing a seam, ease your foot up and off of the foot pedal.

Note: The on-off switch on the machine should be in the “OFF” position when using the foot pedal.
