ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
The stitch length indicator is numbered

stitches. Shorter stitches are best for light-
weight fabrics; longer ones for heavy
fabrics To adjust the length of your
stitches, slide the stitch length lever to
the left or right.
17
ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION
The thread tension of your sewing machine has been pre-set in the auto position to suit
most sewing applications. This auto tension feature eliminates the need for you to
adjust the tension lever for the majority of your sewing projects.
Proper tension will produce identical
stitches on both the front and back of
your fabric (1).
+
Too much tension wilt produce a tight
stitch, causing a puckered seam (2).
Adjust tension by moving lever up toward
a looser _ setting.

SEWING A SEAM
You can sew seams easily and accurately when you follow the suggestions below°
BASTING
Pin basting and hand basting are easy
ways to make temporary seams before
machine sewing.
To pin baste, insert pins at stitching
line. NEVER place pins on the under-
side of fabric in contact with the feed.
Do not sew over pins; pull them out as
you stitch.
To hand baste, make tong, loose
stitches that can be easily removed.

PLACING FABRIC UNDER PRESSER
FOOT
= To place fabric under presser foot, raise
presser foot lifter (1) to its "up" position
(2), where it locks in place,
o The lifter can be raised and held in the
"extra high" position (3) for bulky fabrics_
STITCHING IN REVERSE
To reinforce beginnings or' ends of seams,
push in reverse lever (1). Machine
will straight stitch in reverse for as long
as you hold the lever in.,
For continuous reverse stitching, push
lever in and slide it to the left to lock.
Unlock reverse lever by sliding it back
to the right and letting it return to its
normal position_

KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT
To keep seams straight, use one of the
guidelines on the needle plate. The most
commonly used line (1) is extended onto
the slide plate. The crosslines (2) serve
as guides when stitching square corners.
TURNING SQUARE CORNERS
To turn a square corner, use crosslines on
slide plate.
Line up fabric with extended guidelines
on needle plate and stitch seam, slowing
speed as you approach corner.
When bottom of fabric reaches corner-
ing crosslines (2) on slide plate, stop
stitching.
Be sure needle is down in fabric_
Raise presser foot slightly. Turn fabric,
bringing bottom edge in line with guide_
line (1).
Continue stitching seam.

USING THE SEAM GUIDE (IV)
For extra help in keeping seams straight,
particularly for very narrow or very wide
seams, use the seam guide which comes
with your machine,.
To attach the seam guide, place screw of
seam guide into the hole in the bed of the
machine, on the right side of slide plate (1),.
Line up the straight edge of the guide with
the needle plate guideline for desired
seam width and tighten screw,.
SEWING CURVED SEAMS
o Baste seam line.
o Use a short stitch for elasticity and
strength.
o Guide fabric to follow curve.
o The seam guide may also be used when
sewing curved seams° Attach seam
guide at an angle so that the edge
closer to the needle acts as a guide.

to 4. The area between 0and 1 will produce
very dense stitching. For more open stitching,
slide the stitch length lever anywhere from
2 to 4. When sewing special color coded
stitches the length MUST be set in the
3-112 to 4 area.

stitch (3), causing loops in your pattern.,

a tighter "+" setting.
