Winding the Bobbin

- Place the thread and Spool pin felt (a) onto the spool pin. (1)

- Wind thread clockwise around bobbin winder tension discs.

(2)

- Thread bobbin as illustrated and place on spindle. (3)

- Push bobbin spindle to right. (4)

- Hold thread end. (5)

- Step on foot control pedal. (6)

- Cut thread. (7)

- Push bobbin spindle to left (8) and remove.

When the bobbin winder spindle is in "bobbin winding"

position, the machine will not sew and the hand wheel will not

turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder spindle to the

left (sewing position).

Please Note:

8

Inserting the Bobbin

When inserting or removing the bobbin, the needle must

be fully raised.

Attention:

1. Open the hinged cover.

2. Pull the bobbin case tab (a) and remove the bobbin case.

3. Hold the bobbin case with one hand. Insert the bobbin so

that the thread runs in a clockwise direction (arrow).

4. Pull the thread through the slit and under the finger. Leave a

6 inch tail of thread.

5. Hold the bobbin case by the hinged latch.

6. Insert it into the shuttle.

Turn power switch to off ("O") before inserting or removing

the bobbin.

Threading the Upper Thread

This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out

correctly as by not doing so

- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and

continue turning the handwheel counterclockwise until the

needle just slightly begins to descend. Raise the presser

foot to release the tension discs. (2)

For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the

power before threading.

- Place the thread and Spool pin felt (a) onto the spool pin.

(3)

- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide. (4)

- Thread tension module by leading thread down right

channel and up left channel. (5) During this process it is

helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread

guide.

- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left

through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then

downwards again. (6)

- Now pass thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide

(7) and then down to the needle which should be threaded

from front to back.

- Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the

needle eye. Trim thread to length with built in thread cutter.

(8)

several sewing problems could

result.

Raising the Bobbin Thread

Hold the upper thread with the left hand. Turn the handwheel

(1) towards you (counterclockwise) lowering, then raising

needle.

If it is difficult to raise the bobbin thread, check to make sure

the thread is not trapped by the hinged cover or the

Removable Extension Table.

Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the bobbin thread up

through the needle plate hole. (2)

Lay both threads to the back under the presser foot. (3)

Thread Tension

Upper thread tension

Lower thread tension

Please note:

Basic thread tension setting: "4". (1)

To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.

To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

A. Normal thread tension for straight stitch sewing.

B. Thread tension too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn

dial to higher number.

C. Thread tension too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn

dial to lower number.

D. Normal thread tension for zig zag and decorative sewing.

Correct thread tension is when a small amount of the

upper thread appears on the bottom side of fabric.

- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.

- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch

functions, thread or fabric.

- A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom) is

usually only desirable for straight stitch construction sewing.

- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5".

- For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread

tension should generally be less than for straight stitch

sewing.

- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer

stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread

appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

The bobbin tension has been set correctly at the factory, so

you do not need to adjust it.

To select a stitch, simply turn the pattern selector dial (a). The

pattern selector dial may be turned in either direction. The

following page shows the recommended range of stitch lengths.

Adjust the stitch length with the stitch length dial (b) according

to the fabric being used. (Model 1409 only)

Stitch Length Dial (Model 1409 only)

Function of stitch length dial for when straight stitching

Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag stitching

For straight stitch sewing, turn the Pattern Selector Dial to

the straight stitch setting. (1) Turn the Stitch Length Dial, and

the length of the individual stitches will decrease as the dial

approaches "0". The length of the individual stitches will

increase as the dial approaches "4". (2) Generally speaking,

use a longer stitch length when sewing heavier weight

fabrics or when using a thicker needle or thread. Use a

shorter stitch length when sewing lighter weight fabrics or

when using a finer needle or thread.

The density of zig-zag stitches increases as the setting of

stitch length dial approaches "0".

Neat zig-zag stitches are usually achieved at "2.5" or below.

Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches. (4)

Turn the Pattern Selector Dial to " ". (3)

14

To begin sewing, set the machine for straight stitch. (1)

Place the fabric under the presser foot with the fabric edge

lined up with the desired seam guide line on the needle plate.

(2)

Lower the presser foot lifter, and then step on the foot

controller to start sewing. (3)

Removing the Work

Cutting the Thread

Reverse Sewing

Turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) to bring

the thread take up lever to its highest position and the needle

begins to descend, raise the presser foot and remove work

behind (2)the needle and presser foot.

Pull the threads under and behind the presser foot. Guide

the threads to the side of the face plate and into thread cutter

(B). Pull threads down to cut. (3)

To secure the beginning and the end of a seam, press down

the reverse sewing lever (A). Sew a few reverse stitches.

Release the lever and the machine will sew forward again. (1)

For hems, curtains, trousers, skirts, etc.

Blind hem for stretch fabrics.

Blind hem/ lingerie for firm fabrics.

It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always make a

sewing test first.

Blind Hem:

Note:

Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Fold back

(as shown in Fig. 1) against the right side of the fabric with

the top edge of the hem extending about 7 mm. (1/4") to the

right side of the folded fabric.

Start to sew slowly on the fold, making sure the needle

touches slightly the folded top to catch one or two fabric

threads. (2)

Unfold the fabric when hemming is completed and press.

Lingerie Stitch :

Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Place fabric

right side up with edge of hem to the left. Begin sewing so

the needle swings off the left edge of the fabric to form a

small scallop. Tightening the tension slightly will produce a

deeper scallop.

Sew 4-step Buttonholes

Prepare

Note:

Tips:

1. Take off the all purpose foot and attach the buttonhole foot.

2. Measure diameter and thickness of button and add 0.3cm

(1/8") for bartacks to obtain correct buttonhole length; mark

buttonhole size on fabric (a).

3. Place fabric under the foot, so that marking on the

buttonhole foot aligns with starting marking on fabric. Lower

the foot, so that the buttonhole center line marked on the

fabric aligns with the center of the buttonhole foot .

Density varies according to the fabric.

Always test sew a buttonhole on the fabric you are using

to sew the buttonhole.

Follow the 4-step sequence changing from one step to

another with the Pattern Selector Dial. When moving from

step to step through the buttonhole process, be sure that the

needle is raised before turning the Pattern Selector Dial to

the next step. Take care not to sew too many stitches in

steps 1 and 3. Use seam ripper and cut buttonhole open

from both ends towards the middle.

- Slightly reducing upper thread tension will produce better

results.

- Use a stabilizer for fine or stretchy fabrics.

- It is advisable to use heavy thread or cord for stretch or

knit fabrics. The zig-zag should sew over the heavy thread

or cord. (A)

Adjust the Stitch Length Dial (model 1409 only) in the " "

range to set stitch density.
