Operating the Sewing Machine
Adjusting thread tension
Tension for maximum performance has been
set and adjusted at the factory. However, if
you should find that stitches are too loose, or
too tight, you can adjust the stitch.
1. Loosen stitch by turning the tension screw
(Q) counterclockwise.
2. Tighten the stitch by turning tension screw
(Q) clockwise. Sewing heavier fabric may
require loosening the stitch. Very light
fabric may require tightening the stitch.
3. Bobbin tension cannot be adjusted.
Stitch length adjustment
You can use the stitch length adjustment
button to change the stitch length in sewing.
1. Push the button to the left in order to get
the longest stitch length. This is
recommended for normal sewing.
2. By turning the button towards the right
hand side, the stitch length will be reduced.
3. When the button is set to the middle point,
the stich length will become zero,
therefore, the fabric will not move forward.
Reverse sewing
Push and hold the lever down to sew in
reverse.
Sewing Sleeves
The machine designed to allow you to sew
sleeves easier.
1. Lift up the presser foot (F) and position the
sleeve under the needle. Put the bottom
part of the sleeve in the gap between the
platform and the base.
2. Lower the presser foot and follow steps
5-13 in the section of operating the
machine on the previous page. Now you
can sew the sleeve easily.
