Note: In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and needles are
used for sewing heavy fabrics. Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will
be used for actual sewing.
*Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
*When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a BLUE TIPPED needle. The blue tipped
needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
*When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent thread distortion.

To release the pressure, push ring (A> downwards. This causes the
regulator to spring up to its highest position. The material is now
free from any pressure of the presser foot.
For sewing thin or light materials, push regulator (B> down just a

Very useful for fastening ends of seams and darts without
having to tie threads, and for strengthening seams.
DROPPING THE FEED DOG:
Embroidering and darning are best carried out with the

Feed mechanism disengaged. This is done by setting the
stitch length dial at which drops the feed and allows
the material to be moved freely under the needle.
