6 SETTING THE NEEDLE Fig. 3 See Fig. 3. Raise the needle bar A to its highest point, turning wheel toward you by hand. Then loosen the needle clamp screw B and the needle can be inserted into clamp C. Place needle flat side to ricrht in the needle clamp and push it up-ward as tar as it will go into the needle clamp hole, tightening the needle clamp screw securely with a screw driver. After changing needle make one completed re volution of balance wheel by hand to be sure the needle is in the correct position. SIDE HOW TO WIND THE BOBBIN Disengage the hand wheel 4, Fig. 4 from the stitching me- I, chanism by turning the clutch 5, Fig. 4. toward you or counter-.j clockwise. Place a spool of thread on one of the spool pins, lead thread through the upper thread guides on the arm, and down through the tension disc B, Fig. 5 at -. the base of the machine. Run end of thread through the hole in the bobbin edge and place bobbin C on spindle of bobbin winder E, fitting the notch on bobbin over small pin on spindle. Push bobbin winder pulley against hand wheel. Hold thread end loosely and start machine Fig. 5 slowly. Bobbin will stop winding when it is filled. Turn clutch away you or clockwise until sewing machanism is again engaged so that nec moves when you turn the hand wheel. Break off loose thread end used to start the winding. Fig. l!ii

.7 THREADING THE BOBBIN CASE Step 1 illustrated in Fig. 6 Hold bobbin case between thumb and forefinger of left hand, so that Fig. 6 the slot in the edge of the bobbin case is on top. Take the bobbin between thumb and forefinger of right hand so that the thread on top leads from leftto right. Step. 2. Fig. 7 Insert bobbin into bobbin case, pull the thread into the slot of the bobbin case as shown in Fig. 7, and draw it under the tension spring and into the fork-shaped opening of spring as shown in Fig. 8. the Fig. 8

8 PLACING BOBBIN CASE IN SHUTTLE Open hinged cover plate left of the needle. See Fig. 1 Hold the bobbin case latch, D, Fig. 9, between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, with at least three inches of thread running from the top of the bobbin case to the right, Insert and center the bobbin case on the stud of the shuttle body, C. Be sure the bobbin case finger, E, will en ter the shuttle race notch, A. Press the bobbin case B into the shuttle as far as possilbe until latch catches on the center post of the shuttle. Fig. 9 THEN release the bobbin case latch, D. Press bobbin case again after latch has been released to make sure the bobbin case is locked securely in place. Close the cover plate.. \ Fig 10

UPPER THREADING Fig. 10 1 Turn hand wheel toward you to raise take-up lever to its highest position 2 Place spool of thread on upper spool pin 3 Lead thread through arm thread guide A 4 Down and around tension discs B from right to left 5 Into the check spring C over discs 6 Then down under thread under bar D See in sert, Fig. 10 7 Up into take-up lever E from right to left Fig. 11 8 Down into thread guide F on face plate 9 Through the needle bar thread guide G 10 And into needle from left to right. Full three or four inches of thread through needle. Hold the end of upper thread loosely and turn hand wheel toward you until the needle goes ill the way down and comes back up. A lcop Fig. 11 will be formed over the lower thread.vhich then can be pulled out straight. Place both thread ends under the slot of the presser foot md draw toward the back of the machine, leaving both threads three cr four inches long. 1

10 STRAIGHT STITCHING For straight stitching on fine fabric or very soft ma terial, you may want to use the straight stitch presser foot and the straight stitch needle plate which are includ ed in your accessory box. Both have narrow needle slots. Changing the Foot and Plate. To change presser foot 13, Fig. 1 loosen thumb screw 15, Fig. 1 and remove zigzag foot. Replace with hinged narrow foot 4 and tighten screw securely. To change needle plate 12, Fig. 1 remove it with Fig. 12-A cover plate from machine. Turn assembly wrong sideup. Hold needle plate in left hand and cover plate in right. Fig. 12-A Slip upper pin on cover plate out of groove on needle plate, and pull upper portion of cover plate away. Then lower pin can be separated from groove as the tongue on cover plate slips out of the spring latch on needle plate. To attach cover plate to straight stitch plate, again hold assembly wrong side UD. Holding cover plate in right hand at a slight upward angle, slide lower pin into groove, then lift cover plate to insert tongue into opening of spring latch. Upper pin will then slide easily into groove. Put plates on machine and fasten securely with needle plate screws. 8 Be sure to set the stitch width at 0 or the needle will break in striking the foot or plate. Adjust stoppers Fib. 12-B 3 to hold zigzag lever 2 in 0 position.

If you set the stitch width lever near to 0 position, you will get wide cutting space between left-hand and right-hand sides, the jher the number the less cutting space. A wide cutting space can be use as an opening for a belt or bbon.

Turn the balance wheel slowly by hand to be sure the needle clears both holes of the button. Correct width if necessary. When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine at medium speed, making five or six stitches, stopping with the needle in the left hole.
