Accessory box
Glide plate
The glide plate fits presser foot A. This plate can be
used when sewing on foam plastic, plastic-coated fabric
and leather imitations. It will minimize the risk of these
materials sticking to the presser foot.
Peel off the protective paper and press the self-adhe­
sive side of the glide plate against the underside of the
presser foot.
Needle and thread
The machine is delivered with a spool of synthetic
thread, which can be used for all types of fabrics and
most seams. Mercerized cotton can also be used.
When sewing decorative stitches, embroidery silk No.
30-50 is generally used. It produces attractive button­
holes and topstitching and can also be used for darning.
Always use the recommended needles (code 130/
705H). The size is denoted by a number. The needle
fitted in the machine is No. 80.
The needle case contains one more needle of this size,
one needle No. 70 which is intended for fine thread and
light, compact fabrics, and one needle No. 90 which
should be used for coarser thread and fabrics. The two
needles for sewing in stretch fabric and denim are spe­
cially designed for the purpose.
Edge guide
The stitch plate has markings for 1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5 and
3.0 cm, to simplify sewing seam allowances. If you re­
quire an even wider seam allowance, use the edge guide.
First loosen the screw at the rear of the presser bar as
far as it will go. Insert the guide into the groove under
the screw and adjust it to the required seam allowance.
Tighten the screw, using the screwdriver.
