Pull the spring wire loop up and past the top hook until the thread can be slipped into hook (See Fig. 2). When the thread is released, the spring wire loop will return to position (Fig. 3) with thread in proper place. Release spool of thread and hook thread into take up lever as shown (Fig. 4). Continue to thread machine exactly as shown. Needle must always be threaded in direction as shown in Fig. 5. Hold needle thread loosely in left hand and rotate hand wheel toward you one complete turn, Bring bobbin thread up by pulling upper thread. ADJUSTING TOP TENSIONS Probably the most important control on your machine is this one that regulates your top thread tension. It consists of discs between which the thread passes. The pressure on these discs is regulated by turning the dial. The higher the number, the tighter the tension. There are many reasons for having to reset your tension. The best tension for one fabric may not be correct for another. The required tension depends upon the stiffness of the fabric, thickness of the fabric, numbers of layers of fabric being sewn, as well as the type of stitch you are making. it is best to test the stitching on a scrap of the fabric you are using before starting to make a garment as shown below. Use the straight stitch function. Upper thread too tight Decrease Tension Upper thread too loose Increase Tension ADJUSTING BOBBIN TENSIONS Bobbin tension requires adjusting less frequently than the upper thread tension. If the stitch is satisfactory but the seam is puckered, it may be necessary to loosen the tension on both the top and bottom threads. Be sure to balance them as indicated on Page 10. When adjusting the tension on the bobbin case, make slight adjustments with a screwdriver. DECREASE TENSION _. Turn Counter Clockwise. INCREASE TENSION Turn Clockwise. CHECKING TENSIONS The easiest way to check tensions is to sew a medium zig zag stitch on the fabric you will be using. Use the appropriate type of thread and needle. Use different colors of thread on the bobbin and upper spool. Sew a line of zig zag stitches The bobbin thread should not snow on the top of the fabric. Adjust the top tension if necessary to achieve the stitch balance mentioned above UNBALANCED BALANCED TOP VIEW 1'3 STITCH WIDTH CONTROL This control regulates the width of the stitch you select. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER*THE WIDER THE STITCH. You may vary your zigzag stitch width by adjusting this control to the setting you desire. This control must be on Red Dot in order to do straight stitching. Turn only the outer rim of this control to set the stitch width. The center of the control dials the special stitches the machine is capable of sewing. STITCH LENGTH CONTROL The stitch length control regulates the length of the stitch you select. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER-THE SHORTER THE STITCH. The number on stitch length control indicates the approximate number of stitches per inch. The stitch setting you use will be determined by the thickness of the fabric you are sewing. A IQnger_stiich setting should be used for thicker fabric or more layers of fabric. The middle range of the control is the 10-12 stitchper inch range which is the most commonly used. A basting stitch is made by using the longest possible stitch setting -6 stitches per inch. The red marking ,=,= on the control is the setting used for the shortest stitches such as in Satin Stitching. REVERSE STITCH CONTROL': It is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in reverse, This is called back tacking. Back tacking fastens the ends of the seams firmly and preventsrave!ing. _ : • _ :_: When reverse stitching is needed, turn the control clockwise and: hold_ there dur!ng sewing, The fabric w!ll..immediately sta[t feeding backwards and seam will be fastened ..... SPECIAL STITCH MODIFIER This control gives you the means of varying the stitches on the Special Stitch Dial, When the pointer: is turned to the Red Dot, the machine sews forward only, When the pointer is turned to the White Dot, the forward designs are varied by the machine sewing in a forward and reverse manner. Carefully read directions given in the next section of the book in order to accomplish the various stitches correctly. BUTTONHOLE CONTROL (Model 1625 only) This control is used in making buttonholes. Detailed instructions are given in the next section of the book. SPECIAL STITCH DIAL There are certain types of utility stitches you will use often in your home sewing. This control enables you to just dial the stitch you need for the task at hand. All stitches printed in red on the dial must be sewn with the Special Stitch Modifier set at the Red Dot. To make the stitches printed in white on this dial, the Special Stitch Modifier must be set at the White Dot. THE RED DOT SETTING The setting illustrated above is the one used for most of your stitching. At this setting you may straight stitch, stretch stitch and make a simple zig zag stitch. As each stitch is dependent upon the setting...
