4. How to sew
This sewing machine will allow the following 3 different kinds of stitch formations obtainable by simple
adjustments.
1. Safety Stitch Formation (14U13 only)
Safety stitch can be obtained when all 4 threads are
used. The stitches are attractive and can be sewn on all
kind of fabrics from light weight to heavy weight.
(Application) Inserting sleeves into shirts, blouse, and
dresses as well as sewing sides together.
2, Two Thread Chain Stitch Formation (14U13 only)
A useful two thread chain stitch can be obtained
when needle thread for chain stitch and looper
thread for chain stitch are used.
When you wish to obtain a tight seam, sew another
row of stitches next to the previously row.
(Application) Binding knit wear, jersey, etc.
When chain stitching, be sure to disengage the overedge looper so that it does not move, in the following
manner.
Also place the movable knife in a non operating position as required. (See Page 18)
• The overedge looper is disengaged as follows.
With the screw driver turn the overedge looper
screw in direction of arrow shoym in figure until
the screw comes off the overedge looper driving
lever (back).
Ensure the screw is completely out of engagement
with the driving lever by pulling the screw outward
with fingers.
Press down the released overedge looper so that
it is in its lowest position.
(Make sure overedge looper does not move by
turning machine pulley towards you slowly.)
