SEWING MACHINE WORK
BOOK
CLEANING AND OILING
Keeping your machine clean and well oiled will keep your machine running smoothly. This is a crucial component for successful
machine stitching. Refer to Page 41 for cleaning tips. Your machine manual will also give you detailed cleaning and oiling suggestions.
STITCH PLATE
Attach the 7 mm Stitch Plate. The machine will recognize the stitch plate that is attached.
RAISE FEED DOGS
The feed dog raise/drop control is a slider at the bottom of the free arm, just to the left of the bobbin area. The feed dog
automatically raises on the b79 when the embroidery module is removed.
PRESSER FOOT
Attach the Zigzag Sole (DA) to the machine. Engage the Dual Feed mechanism.
Preparing to Stitch
THREAD THE BOBBIN FOR SEWING
1.
Wind a bobbin.
2. Open the bobbin cover by pushing the release button to the right. (Diagram 1)
3. Insert the bobbin so that the thread runs counterclockwise. (Diagram 2)
4. Pull the thread into the slit. (Diagram 3 - See 1)
5. Stabilize the bobbin by gently holding it in place.
6. Follow the arrow markings to bring the thread into the bobbin thread guide. (Diagram 4)
7. To cut the excess thread, take the thread end and pull it over the thread cutter. (Diagram 5 - See 2)
8. Close the bobbin cover.

INSERT AND THREAD NEEDLE (Refer to Page 37 and 38 for additional information on needles.)
• Use the proper needle for the thread and fabric being used. It is advisable to insert a new needle for each project, or after
every 4 to 6 hours of sewing time.
• Always thread with the presser foot up. This opens the tension discs and allows the thread to seat properly.
THREADING TIPS FOR MODELS WITH BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SPOOL PINS:
• Use the horizontal spool pin with cross-wound threads; match spool cap size to end of spool.
• The smallest spool cap ts into the end of large cones/spools such as Isacord embroidery thread.
• Use the vertical spool pin with stacked threads and for some decorative threads (metallic threads); use the foam disc under
the spool to avoid extra tension on the thread.
