STRAIGHT STITCHING

For straight sewing on fine fabric or very softmaterial, you may want to use the straight stitch presserfoot and the straight stitch needle plate which are included in your accessory box. Both have narrow needleslots.

Changing the Foot and Plat To change presserfoot (18 Fig. 1) loosen thumb screw ( 20 Fig. 1 andremove zigzag foot. Replace with hirLged narrow footand tighten screw securely.

To change needle plate 16 Fig. 1 remove it withover plate from machine. Turn assembly wrong sideip. Hold needle plate in left hand and cover plate inright (Fig, 12-A;

REMOVING THE WORK

Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-uplever and needle bar are located at the highest position.

Now raise the presser foot and draw the fabric back andto the left, Fig. 21-A and B, and pass the threads over thethread cutter.

Pull down slightly, holding thread in both hands, so asnot to bend the needle.

Leave the ends of thread under the presser foot.

CREATIVE EMBROIDERY

Be sure zigzag presser foot and zigzag needle plate arein place.

The satin stitch, Fig. 22,which is really just a very shortzigzag stitch, and the basis for Fig. 22

ATTACHMENT FOOT

In order to attach the binder, edgestitcher and thehemmers, it is necessary to remove the presser foot andreplace it with the attachment foot, Fig. 41.Mount binder, edgestitcher or hemmers sliding the

attachment to the left as far as possible and tightenscrew.

The mounting slot enables you to sew as close to oras far away from the edge as desired. Just move theattachment to the correct position before tightening themounting screw.

THE EDGESTITCHER

The edgestitcher is used in making 1lace insertions, edgings and pipings.The slots serve as guides. To sew laceedging to fabric, place the material youwant on top in slot, and other piecein slot 4.

. 3To trim with a wide piping, place Fig. 4 -

the fabric in slot 4, and the fold of the piping, to the left in slot 3. For a narrow piping, placethe fabric in slot 2 and the folded edge of the piping to the right in slot 3.

Slot 5 may be used as a guide in stitching a french seam.

BINDER

This attachment folds bias binding, applies it to the edgeof material in one operation. Slots on scroll of the binderare for corresponding widths of commercial folded biasbinding.

The open mouth of binder scroll is used for unfoldedbias strips cut 15/16 inch wide.

FOLDED BINDING (Fig. 44)Cut a point of folded binding, insert in appropriate

slot. Draw through slot and under binder with strong pin.Sliding binder slot to right or left.

TWO-TONE BINDING (Fig. 44)Two bindings can be sewn on fabric edge also in one

operation. When two are used, always skip one size betweenwidths, inserting each in correct size slot.

HAND-CUT BIAS BINDING (Fig. 45)Cut 15/16 inch bias binding fold in half for a couple

of inches. Cut binding diagonally toward end, almost tofold. Slip fold into center of binder. Draw back until cutopens and binding encircles open end of scroll, Test stitching to be sure it is on the edge, adjust if necessary.

Grasp bobbin thread withboth hands and slip horizontally under hemmer toward back.Bobbin thread will catch ioo’o and carry upper thread toback of hemmer.Fold material in 1/8 inch for two inches along edge,hold at each end of fold. Slip fold into guide and up overspoon. (Fig. 46). Fold hem in material back of hemmer.Draw forward to end of hem and fasten with point of needle.Pull on threads gently as you start stitching.
