DARNING PLATE
Use the darning plate when you need to control fabric feeding
for button sewing, free motion work and free motion darning.
Raise needle and presser foot, and position darning plate onto
the needle plate with the two pins on the back inserted to the
holes of needle plate.
CONVERTING TO FREE-ARM SEWING
Your machine can be used either as a flat- bed or as a free-
arm model.
With the extension table in position, it provides a large working
surface as a standard flat-bed model.
To remove the extension table, hold it firmly with both hands
and pull it off to the left as shown. To replace, slide the
extension table back into place until it clicks.
With the extension table removed the machine converts into
a slim free-arm model for sewing children’s clothes, cuffs,
trouser legs, and other hard-to-reach places.
SPOOL PINS
HORIZONTAL SPOOL PIN for normal
thread spool
Place thread spool on the pin and secure with a spool cap to
ensure smooth flow of thread. If the thread spool has a thread
retaining slit, it should be placed to the right.
Select the correct spool pin cap according to the type and
diameter of spool being used. The diameter of the spool pin
cap should always be larger than that of the spool itself.
PRESSER FOOT LIFTER
There are three positions for your presser foot.
1. Lower the presser foot to sew.
2. Raise the lifter to the middle position to insert or remove
fabric, and to change presser foot.
3. Lift it to its highest position to insert or to remove thick
fabric.
VERTICAL SPOOL PIN for large thread
spool

spool on the spool pin.
