CAUTION . When using the twin needle, be sure to attach zigzag foot “J”, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged. 4 Turn on the machine. 5 Select a stitch. CAUTION . After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break. . When using the twin needle, make sure the stitch width is not set above “2.5” since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break. 6 Start sewing. For details on starting to sew, refer to “Starting sewing” on page 23. • Two lines of stitching are sewn parallel to each other. Note . When using the twin needle, the stitches may become bunched together, depending on the types of thread and fabric that are used. If this occurs, increase the stitch length. For details on adjusting the stitch length, refer to “Stitch length dial” on page 12. CAUTION . When changing the sewing direction, be sure to raise the needle from the fabric, and then raise the presser foot lever and turn the fabric. Otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged. 26 SEWING BASICS SEWING BASICS Thread tension The tension of the thread will affect the quality of your stitches. You may need to adjust it when you change fabric or thread. Memo . We recommend that you do a test sample on scrap of a fabric before you start to sew. ¦ Correct tension Correct tension is important as too much or too little tension will weaken your seams or cause puckers on your fabric. 2 1 1 Surface of fabric 2 Back of fabric 3 3 Upper thread 4 4 Lower thread ¦ Upper tension is too tight Loops will appear on the surface of the fabric. Note . If the bobbin thread was incorrectly threaded, the upper thread may be too tight. In this case, refer to “Lower threading” on page 15 and rethread the bobbin thread. 2 1 1 Surface of fabric 2 Back of fabric 3 Upper thread 35 4 Lower thread 4 5 Loops appear on surface of fabric Solution Reduce the tension by turning the upper tension control dial to a lower number. ¦ Upper tension is too loose Loops appear on the back of the fabric. Note . If the upper thread was incorrectly threaded, the upper thread may be too loose. In this case, refer to “Upper threading” on page 17 and rethread the upper thread. 5 2 1 1 Surface of fabric 2 Back of fabric 3 Upper thread 4 Lower thread 5 Loops appear on back 3 4 of fabric Solution Increase the tension by turning the upper tension control dial to a higher number. 3 BUILT-IN STITCHES Straight stitching Straight stitches are used for sewing plain seams.

Setting the dial to “5” selects the left needle position; setting the dial to “0” selects the right needle position. Refer to “Stitch width dial” on page 12. ¦ Top stitching and stretch materials You can use a straight stitch for top stitching and sewing lightweight fabrics. You can use a triple stretch stitch for sewing stretch fabrics. Zigzag stitching Stitch Name Pattern Stitch Length [mm (inch)] Stitch Width [mm (inch)] Zigzag Stitch 3 F-4 (1/64-3/16) 0-5 (0-3/16) ¦ Zigzag stitch Turn the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag Stitch, and then start sewing. We recommend that you sew using the Straight Stitch at the beginning and end of zigzag stitches. (This acts as a reinforcement stitch.) ¦ Satin stitch Setting the Zigzag Stitch length in the “F”-“1” range produces a satin stitch (close zigzag stitch). The Satin Stitch can be used for making buttonholes and decorative stitches. Set the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag Stitch, set the stitch length in the “F”-“1” range, and set the stitch width dial between “0” and “5”.
