SEWING THIN OR LIGHT WEIGHT FABRICS
When lighter pressure is required to sew satisfactorily
on thin silk or filmy material, the pressure cay should
be about halfway down. Release all the way by pressing
the snap lock, A, and then press cap B down again to
halfway spot. (Lower the feed slightly by pressing "Darn
button halfway down.) Fig. 23, 24 and 25.
DARNING
AND
MONOGRAMMING.
In
order
to
move the fabric freely in any direction for darning, mend
ing and certain kinds of free-hand embroidery, release the
pressure cap B completely by pressing down on the snap
lock. A, Fig. 24. Press "Darn" button all the way down,
which drops the feed well below the needle plate. To
return feed to normal, press "Sew" button. Fig. 23
PREPARING TO SEW
Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to
sew. Do not try to help the feeding by pulling the ma
terial as this may deflect the needle and cause it to break.
NEVER
run
machine
without
material
under
presser
foot.
Place material and threads in position under the pres
ser foot and lower the presser foot.
Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is
at its highest point. You are now ready to begin sewing.
By having the needle at its highest point, it is not nece
ssary to touch the hand wheel to start the machine. You
merely press the control. The speed of the machine is
regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control.
