To Regulate the Length
of
Stitch
The
length of stitch
is regulated by
the feed
regulating
disc
(F3,
Fig. 23) located
on the bed
of
the
machine
at the
right.

This
disc
is marked
with
arbitrary
numbers
ranging
from
6 to 30,
which indicate
the various
lengths
of
stitches
that the
machine
will
make,
No. 6 being
the
longest stitch
and
No.
the shortest
stitch.
(The
numerals
do
not
denote
the number
of stitches
to
the
inch).
The length
of stitch
that
the machine
is ready
to make
is
indicated
by
the number
nearest
the
arrow marked
on
the
cloth
plate
of
the machine.
To
increase
the length
of
stitch, turn
the feed
regulating
disc
(F3)
over to
the right
until
the number
of the
desired
length
of
stitch
is nearest
to
the point
of the
arrow.
To
shorten
the
stitch,
turn
the feed regulating
disc over
to
the
left until
the
number
of the
desired
length of stitch
is nearest
the
point
of the
arrow.
To Adjust
the
Bobbin
Winder
Tension Bracket
If
the thread
does
not
wind evenly
on the
bobbin, loosen
the
screw
(E3,
Fig.
23)
which
holds the bobbin
winder
tension
bracket
on the
cloth
plate and
move
the bracket
to
the right
or left as
may be
required,
then firmly
tighten
the screw.
To Adjust the Bobbin
Winder
If
the pressure
of the bobbin winder
pulley against the
hub
of the
balance
wheel is insufficient for winding the bobbin, loosen
FIG. or
the adjusting
screw (J3, Fig. 24) and press down on
the bobbin
winder until the pulley is
in contact
with the hub of the balance
wheel, then tighten the adjusting screw (J3).
The pressure
of
the
bobbin winder pulley against the hub of the
balance
wheel
should
be just
sufficient to cause
the bobbin winder pulley
to
rotate. Too much pressure will prevent the bobbin
winder
pulley
rotating.
Slide Plate
When it is necessary
to replace a slide plate in a
cloth plate,
this can be done
by removing the cloth
plate from the machine
and slipping the slide plate into the slideway
from the
throat
plate
end, or, if desired, the slide plate can
be replaced with
the
cloth
plate attached
to the machine by holding the slide
plate at
an angle of 45 degrees across the
slide opening and
slipping
one
end of the spring under one side
of the slideway,
then tipping
the
slide
plate and slipping the other end of the spring
under
the
opposite side of the
slideway and swinging the slide
plate around
straight
so
that it will drop
into position.
