5. Now sew the both sides of the zipper in place along the zipper carrier
web from the lower to the upper edge with the zipper foot
M . The need-
le should thus always pierce the side of the foot facing the teeth-row
resp. spiral of the zipper, in order to achieve the best possible results.
6. To changeover to sewing the opposite half of the zipper, after sewing
release the one side of the zipper foot
M by activating the lever at the
rear of the spindle from the foot shaft and fix it, aligned correspondin-
gly, over the other part of the fastening pin on the shaft and continue
sewing with the other indentation.
Gathering
1. Set the stitch type selector w at 3.
2. Reduce the upper thread tension (to approximately 2), so that the
lower thread stays on the underside during sewing and is not drawn
into the loops of the upper thread, as is usually the aim in sewing, in
this case the lower thread runs straight along the underside of the
material.
3. Sew a simple straight stitch seam or several parallel straight stitch seams.
4. Draw on the end of the lower thread in the direction of the sewing foot
in order to gather the fabric along the seam.
Darning
1. Position the darning plate v on the stitch plate a of the machine.
The lateral pins of the darning plate v should slide into the holes
in the darning plate a .
2. Set the stitch type selector w at 3.
3. Position the area to be repaired under the sewing foot s and lay
a piece of reinforcing material under it.
4. Lower the sewing foot s using the lifting lever g .
5. Begin darning at the edge of the damaged area, carefully guiding the
material back and forth with your hand to compensate for the feeder
which, by the mounting of the darning plate, has been deactivated.
6. Repeat the backward and forward movements with a little offsetting of
the parallel seams until the damaged area is completely filled with the
stitches.

Appliques
An applique is created by sewing a piece of material, cut into a certain
shape, contrasting in colour or structure, to a garment or to another
creation for decorative purposes.
1. Tack the applique with the desired contour onto the designated
position by hand.
2. Carefully sew round the contour of the applique in zigzag stitch
(Stitch type No. 4, 5 or 6) in short stitch lengths.
3. If necessary trim the applique outside the seam
4. Remove the tacking stitches by pulling out the tacking thread if
necessary.
Notice
Sew a few straight stitches at the beginning and end of
the contour seam to secure and reinforce the seam.
Monograms and embroidery
Preparation for stitching motives and monograms
1. Attach the darning plate v onto the stitch plate a .
2. Set the stitch type selector w at the required zigzag stitch.
3. Draw the monogram (for mongram embroidery) or the motive
(motive embroidery) on the surface of the material.
4. Tense the material as tight as possible in an embroidery frame, such
that the material underside runs above the lower edge of the inner ring.
5. Position the material to be sewn under the machine needle and lower
the foot bar with the lifting lever
g .
6. At the position where you wish to begin the embroidery draw the lower
thread through the material by manually turning the handwheel
0 in
an anti-clockwise direction and sew a few stitches for fixation of the
thread.
7. Hold the embroidery frame with the thumb and index fingers of both
hands while you press the material down into the frame with your
middle and ring fingers and guiding the frame with your little fingers.
