PLACEMENT OF NEEDLE

Raise the needle bar to its highest po­sition by turning hand wheel toward you.
Loosen needle clamp screw.
Hold the needle with flat side away from you.
Slip the needle as far as it will go into the needle clamp, and tighten the needle clamp screw.

SETTING STITCH LENGTH

The stitch length lever controls the stitch length. Set lever to any desired stitch length position between O and 4 by turning knob until the indicator is aligned with the stitch length number desired.
The red mark indicates the settling for a satin stitch. This will vary slightly depending upon the type or material to be sewn. At No. 4 the longest stitch is obtained. The size or stitch you select will depend on the fabric you are sewing. Straight stitching is done with stitch width control on O setting, or by removal of pattern disc.

SETTING STITCH WIDTH

Insert disc 1. Turn the stitch width knob to the desired setting between O and 4 on the knob. Zigzag stitch width increases from 1 to 4. Straight stitching is possible only with control on O setting or by removal of pattern disc.
When sewing with the double needle, the stitch width control must not be advanced beyond 2 1/2 setting.

SEWING ON BUTTONS

Align two boles of button with slot of presser foot and lower foot to hold securely. Drop feed dog. Turn hand wheel by hand until needle point is just above button. Adjust stitch width so that needle will align with a hole of button. Turn hand wheel again by hand so that needle goes into second hole, readjust stitch width if necessary. Stitch a number of times, turning hand wheel manually. Finish sewing with an extra 2 inches of thread, draw thread to reverse side and tie securely.

If using a 4 hole button repeat the above procedure.

NOTE: To make a small thread shank when sewing on a flat button, place a straight pin or needle between the holes of the button.
