Part 4 - How to Sew

Part 5 - Adjusting Tension

Part 6 - How to Change Needles 

Note: It is important that the top and bottom threading is 
correct. Check carefully and practice before beginning to sew. 
Improper threading will damage the lockstitch.

1. 

After you have finished sewing, place your cloth or fabric 

 

of choice beneath the Presser Foot (F). Using the Hand 

 

Wheel or the Foot Pedal, begin sewing. 

2. 

Control the speed using the Speed Button (L) and to use 

 

the foot pedal, use the On/Off Switch (A). 

1.  

In normal circumstances you do not need to adjust the 

 

tension and it has already been set for maximum  

 

performance. However, if you think that the stitches are 

 

too loose or too tight you can adjust the tension. 

2.  

Loosen the stitch by turning the tension screw (N) 

 counterclockwise.

3.  

Tighten the stitch by turning the tension screw (N)  

 

clockwise. Sewing heavier fabric may require loosening 

 

the stitch. Very light fabric may require tightening the 

 

stitch. Bobbin tension cannot be adjusted.

1. 

Turn the handwheel (K) clockwise to raise the needle (R) to 

 

its highest position.
