Place the spool of braid on the spool pin (1, Fig. 23, page
19) and place it in the machine with the large end of the spool pin
towards you when the handle (A, Fig. 5, page 5) is towards the front.
When the braid is taken from the spool, the spool should turn
in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 23. Then with
the threading wire furnished with the machine pa.ss the braid
down through the opening (2, Fig. 23) of the hollow tube so that
it will be fed through the front opening (3, Fig. 23) in the braid
guide carrier, then pass the braid from front to back through
the lower hole in the braid guide (4, Fig. 23) and draw it back
under the presser foot. For stitching, follow the instructions
given on pages 12 and 13.

“Edge on” for “Standing” Braid
Also for Sewing on Round Braid
(S e h Fills. 20 AND 24)
In case the needle does not enter the braid properly, loosen
the knurled ring (D, Fig. 20, page 16) and slightly loosen the

small set screw (A, Fig. 20) in the braid guide to bring the guide
closer to the needle. The braid guide should be set so that the
needle just enters the edge of the braid at every stitch. When the
braid guide has been properly adjusted, tighten the knurled
ring (D).
Tensions
The needle and bobbin threads should be locked in the centre
of the thickness of the material, thus:

If the tension on the needle thread is too tight, or if that on
the bobbin thread is too loose, the needle thread will lie straight
along the upper surface of the material, thus:

If the tension on the bobbin thread is too tight, or if that on
the needle thread is too loose, the bobbin thread will lie straight
along the under side of the material, thus:

To Regulate the Tensions
(S ee Fill. 28)
The tension on the needle thread is regulated by the thumb
nut (B, Fig. 28, page 22) above the tension discs at the top of
the machine. To increase the tension turn this thumb nut over
to the right or downward. To decrea.se the tension turn the thumb
nut over to the left or upward.
The tension on the bobbin thread is regulated by the screw
on the underside of the shuttle. To increase the tension turn
this screw over to the right. To decrease the tension turn the
screw over to the left.
