pletely by pressing down on the snap lock, A, Fig. 20. Turn the
Fig. 20
knob to ON position, which drops the feed well below the needle
plate. To return feed to normal, return knob to “HI”.
PREPARING TO SEW
Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding
by pulling the material 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 presser foot and lower the presser foot.
Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is at its highest point. You are now ready
t begin sewing. By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary to touch the
L ad wheel to start the machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the machine
I regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control.

REMOVING THE WORK
Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-u

p
lever and needle bar are at their highest position.
Now raise the presser foot and draw the fabric back
and to the left, Fig. 21-A and B, and pass the thread
over
the thread cutter.
Pull down slightly, holding thread in both hands,
as not to bend the needle.
Leave the ends of thread under the presser foot.

CREATIVE EMBROIDERY
Be sure zigzag presser foot and zigzag needle

plate are
in place.
The satin stitch, Fig. 22,
which is really just a very short
zigzag stitch, and the basis for
Fig. 22
most embroidery, is obtained by setting the
stitch length
as near 0 as possible without stopping the
feeding action.
The width may be set anywhere from just
past 0 to 5. Fig. 21-B

Adjusting the Stitch width
To stitch continuously at one width of zigzag stitching, set zigzag stitch width lever at
uid
the chosen stitch width and lock in position with zigzag stitch width locks 19-Fig. 1.
Should you wish to move freely between any two widths, such as in doing free-hand
embroidery or buttonholes, set left hand zigzag width lock at selected number and right hand
ck at number 5 or lower.
The 2 width will be produced until the zigzag lever (20, Fig. 12-B) is moved.

EMBROIDERY PATTERNS
With the machine set for a short stitch length, different designs can be made by swinging
the stitch width or zigzag lever back and forth between 0 and 5 or any other combination of
widths. Try setting the locks at 1 and 5, 2 and 4, etc. Set a rhythm for yourself and then
all
proceed. After a while you will become quite skillful, varying your designs by the speed of
te machine, stitch length and width and the manipulation of the lever.

SEWING ON BUTTONS
1. Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot.
See Fig. 25, 26).
2. Turn drop feed knop to “DN”
3. Move zigzag width lever, to ‘0’ position or to the extreme left.
Place the button so that its left hole comes directly under the
needle, then gently lower the presser foot. Move the zigzag
width lever to the right until the needle comes exactly over the
right hole of the button. Turn the balance wheel slowly by
hand to be sure the needle clears both holes of the button.
Correct width if necessary and lock with stops.
4. When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine Fi-. 25
at medium speed, making five or six stitches, stopping with the
needle in the left hole.
5. To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent raveling,
set the stitch width at 0, and take a few stitches
in the same hole. If you wish you may place
a rounded toothpick over the button, between
the two holes, and sew button to fabric in
regular way. Fig. 27
Remove the toothpick and wind thread under the button, forming a
shank. Fasten.
Apply the above method to sew on buttons with four holes,
hooks and snaps, etc. If a four hole button is to be sewn, follow
the same procedure above for the two hole button.
Now lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to permit stitching
the remaining two holes. Hooks, snaps etc., are sewn to the fabric
with the same procedure as for sewing two hole buttons. Fig. 26
MAKING BUTTONHOLES
First mark the beginning and end of the 18
buttonhole on fabric with a basting line or Tailor,s
Chalk. (Make a sample, following the directions
below, on scrap fabric to be certain the finished
buttonhole will fit the button to be used
1, Replace presser foot with buttonhole
foot which is grooved deeply underneath to prevent
piling of the threads. See Fig. 28. Whe
n sewing buttonholes, you can turn pattern dial
without pushing release lever
2. Set built in cam dial at No. I of butto
nhole, and set the stitch width at approx. No. 2 by
locking left zigzag width stop. Set need
le position lever at L.
3. Lower needle carefully into mark on
fabric indicating the begining of the buttonhole, lower
presser foot and sew loft side of butto
nhole. (Step 1)
4. Stop machine and raise needle to
highest position, turn pattern dial 22 Fig. 1 to bar tack
position (No. 2) and sew 4 or 5 stitc
hes. Step 2
S. With needle at highest position turn
pattern dial 22 Fig. 1 to No. 3 and sew right side of
buttonhole.. Step 3)
6. Stitch to the starting point of the
buttonhole. Stop machine and raise needle to high
position, turn pattern dial 22 Fig. 1 to est
No. 4 and sew the bar tack. (Step 4)
7. Should you prefer to sew the righ
t side of the buttonhole (reverse stitching)first-start with
step 3 and follow with steps 4, 1 and
2.
If you plan to make buttonholes on
sheer or soft material, place tarlàtan or paper unde
the fabric which can be torn away after r
holes on scraps of fabric before work stitching. And it is always to make several button
ing on the garment.
For buttonholes with more cutting spac
e, set stitch width at less than 2 and for less
outting, higher than 2.
