Sewing Machine InstructionsPage 8
Note: Do not use this machine for stretchable or knitted fabrics, such
as towels, sweaters, etc., as this machine is not intended for
such use.
Adjusting tension
A good stitch is neither too tight nor too loose. Check
both the top and bottom threads to make sure they
are smooth and even. (Figure 25)
If the top thread on your sewing machine is too
loose, the bottom thread on your fabric will look like
a very straight line. To correct this, gradually turn the
thread clamp downward (numbers go up) to increase
tension, until the stitching is smooth and even. (Figure 26)
If the bottom thread on your sewing machine is too
loose, the top thread on your fabric will look like a
very straight line. To correct this, gradually turn the
thread clamp upward (numbers go down) to decrease
tension, until the stitches are smooth and even. (Figure 27)
Using the sewing arm
To sew sleeves, cuffs, or other narrow garments, use the sewing arm.
Lift the presser foot.1.
Position the narrow garment around the 2.
sewing arm. (Figure 28)
Lower the presser foot and follow the regular 3.
sewing instructions.
