The seven built-in discs are represented by
the letters L to R. If you move the stitch
pattern selector to one of these letters you
will get one of the basic patterns shown
below.
The lower stitch pattern selector is generally
set at B = centre needle position Setting A
represents left, and C represents right needle
position, as described on page 30.
The stitch width selector controls the width
of your stitches. The widest stitch width
(setting 5) will generally produce the best
sewing results for the pattern.
Raise needle above fabric before moving

 Two-Needle Stitching

By using two needles at once, you can produce two parallel, closels spaced, decorative
lines of stitching simultaneously. You can use either one or two colors of thread; oid you
can choos%, either a stiaight stitch setting, or o ne of the basic pattuns. (Cormbinatilon patlerls
Cannuot be used for two-needIle work.) Some of the attractive designs you (cn teaIc are
shown on page 38.

How To Insert Second Needle

The needle clamp easily accomodates two
needles, Catalogue 20120 ([15XI) To insert the
needle, simply loosen the needle clamp screw
and insert the additio nal need e from the
right with the long groove toward you.

To Thread The Machine

place firstI spool of thread onto spool holder
and lead thread through eye of first thread
quide. Raise stith deirI cover and insert
auxiliary spool holder (which is furnished
with the machine) into hole provided for it.

Phwc second spool of thre•ad onto auxiliary

spool holder dard thread ds lor one-needle
shiching (see page 20), making ceitain that
both threads are separated by the center

To Adjust Thread Tension

Chamstitdunq requires generally less needle-
thread tension than regular straight stitching,
when compared to the same size and type of
thread When the tension is correctly adjust-
ed, the dsam will be flat and smooth.

A
Puckers in the fabric and pindced loops indi-
cate too mudc tension; turn tension dial to a
lower number.

Large, irregular loops indicate too little ten-

sion, turn dial to a higher number.

41
 Stitching
When starting mnake -sure that the take-up
lever is in its highest position, T1is will pre-
vent the needle thread from pulling out of
S. the needle if the thread has been crt too
short. Caution, you may sew forward only.
Position neeodie in very edge of fabric, lower
.the presser Ioot and stitch. If tile material is
'I pivoted at thie neodle for operations where
cornering is required, mjjitke certain that the
needle is on its upward movement (approx.
V, inch [I cmj abov its lowest point) to avoid
skipped stih les. Then continue to stitch in
thle new direction.

To Remove The Fabric

The ,asiest way of reimoving ili fabric is to
New off the edge of the fabric (Illustration I)
while sighftly pulling on the material, This
produces ar chain which should be cut sonme
distance away from the fabric (Illistration 2).
However, if the seam is ended before the
edge of the fabric, bring the take-up lever to
its highest point, then lift the presser foot
and pull some thread through the take-up
lever fror the spool pin (Illustration 3). Now
draw thre loose thread between presser fool
plate and top surface of fabric to the left
with the scissors (Illustration 4) and then cut
the thread approx. '/, inch (I cm) above fabric
(Illustration 5). Remove fabric from the ma-
chine by pulling it straight back, away from
you. This will cause the thread end to pull
through the fabric to the underside and form
a temporary lock (Illustration 61. If you wish
to secure this temporary lock, fold the thread
end back over the chain and fasten with hand
stitching.

while allowing closely spaced ziq.zag stithies to feed freely.

The special presser foot is ideal for accurate placement of

Buttonhole Length
First, decide how long the cutting lengith needs to he, (the opening through which hie button
passes). This will depend onl thle diamneter Cond thkidness of the button, To find the right lengtlh,
cut a small hole in a scrap of your fabric and graddually enlarge it until thle button slips

(3 mm) for each bar tadck
Then mark the buttonhole on the fabric as shown above.
The procedure for making a buttonhole is described on the next page.

cdn be varied to acconiodate fabrics of dilfe-
rent weaves and textures. Combination pat-
terns and variations can dlso be used to
applique with decorative stitching.
There are two methods by which applique
work can be done. The appropriate method
is determined by the fabric being used, and
a test sample is advisable. Position the design
properly and baste it to the fabric. Attach
the special presser foot to the presser bar.

Method No. I
Set stitch pattern and stitch width selectors
for desired applique stitch. Stitch, outlining
the design with applique stitching. Any ex-
cess fabric on the outer edges is trimmed
away after the stitching has been completed.
Remove basting.

Method No. 2
Adjust stitch pattern and stitch width selec-
tors for straight stitching (A K 3). Outline the
entire design with a short stitch. Trim raw
edges to the stitching.
Readjust stitch pattern and stitch width selec-
tors for the desired applique stitch and over-
edge the design with this stitching. A smooth,
lustrous finish results, which requires no ad-

Corded Applique
Corded applique, which gives a raised, three-
dimensional effect, is a particularly attrac- OF
tive finish for lace applique.
Either method of appliqueing can be used
when cording is desired. The only change in

This loot has been designed to facilitate the placing of stilch-

ensures even feeding over pins, heavy layers of fabric or
cross seams. It is attached to the mactine in place of the
regular presser foot and can be adjusted to either the right
or left side of the needle. Straight or zig-zag stiltc settings
can be used.
Applications: Zipper insertion, corded seams, tubular welting

Script monograms and embroidery can be
effectively accomplished with the zig-zag
stitch when the tree motion principle is em-
ployed.
A test sample should always be made before
proceeding with the actual woik to deter-
mine stitch setlting and spacing. Some fabrics
may require addition of an underlay of crisp
lawn and organdie.
Trace or mark design on right side of fabric.
Place work in embroidery hoop large enough
to encompass entire design. Be sure fabric is
hold taut. Position work under needle and
lower presser bar to engage tension. Turn
hand wheel toward you and drew bobbin
thread up through fabric. Hold both thread
ends and start stitching.
Move hoop slowly, following outline of de-
sign. Maintain an even rate of speed so that
stitches are uniformly ipaced.
Slow movement of hoop reoduces a close
satin stitch; more rapid movement lengthens
the stitch and resuets in an open effect.
Free motion work can also be done with the
darning and embroidery foot. This foot is
particularly suited for stitching smooth heavy
fabrics since it assists in controlling the stitch
as well as in a, proper guiding of the fabric.
