How to Use

Gathering Attachment

1. Set the machine for 2-needle, 4-thread sewing.

2. To attach, open the side cover. Loosen the set screw and rotate the gathering attachment arm toward you.
Place the set plate over the set screw, slide it to the left as far as it will go and tighten the set screw.
Then, raise the feed dog to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you and loosen the thumb screw.
For the last step, rotate the arm, place it on the feed dog and tighten the thumb screw.

3. To sew, place 2 pieces of fabric right sides together. The bottom fabric will be gathered, so cut that piece twice the length of the top fabric.
Test on a scrap of fabric from your project. Set the differential feed dial to 1 and rotate the arm outward.
Place the fabric under the presser foot and sew 2 or 3 stitches without inserting the arm between the fabric.
Then, turn the handwheel until the needle pierces the fabrics and raise the presser foot.
Set the differential feed dial to the desired number (for example 2.0) and insert the arm between the fabrics. Lower the presser foot and sew again, guiding the 2 layers with your hands.

Blind Hem Foot

1. Set the machine for 1-needle, 3-thread sewing (using the right needle).

2. Replace the presser foot with the Blind Hem Foot.

3. Fold the hem and press. Fold the hem to the right side of the fabric and place the fabric wrong side up so that the folded edge is to the left of the fabric guide.

4. Turn the adjustment screw until the needle catches just the edge of the fold.

5. Sew the hem, making sure the needle catches the edge of the hem.

6. Open the hem and press.

Gathering Foot

1. Set the machine for 2-needle, 4-thread sewing.

2. To secure, position the presser foot so that the pin on the foot is just below the groove in the foot holder.

3. Lower the foot holder to lock the foot in place. Raise the presser foot to make sure the foot is secure.

4. To remove, simply raise the needle and presser foot, then press the lever located on the back of the foot holder.

Elastic Gathering Foot (use 3.5 - 6.8 mm side elastic tape)

1. To set the elastic gather, open the side cover and loosen the set screw.
Place the set plate over the set screw and tighten the screw.
Then, place the elastic tape on the backing plate, matching the right edge of the tape to the line on the backing plate.
Pull about 5 centimeters of tape. Close the backing plate and secure the end with the clasp. Adjust the slide plate to the width of the elastic tape. Make sure the tape is not cut by the upper knife and close the side cover.

2. To sew, place the fabric under the elastic tape and place them under the presser foot. Sew the fabric and elastic tape together.

3. To adjust the gather, turn the thumb screw clockwise to increase gather and counterclockwise to decrease gather.

Fabric Guide

1. To attach, open the side cover, loosen the fixing screw and slide the fixing plate on the screw to the left as far as possible.
Tighten the screw and close the side cover.

2. To use, slide the fabric guide to the desired position to guide the edge of the fabric.
Do not use the upper knife when sewing constant width seams for flat lock overlock with decorative thread, pink tucking, etc.
