Super De You have made an exelleut choice and you are deserved of the proud owner of how Luxe sewing machine,wbjch will surely lead to your happy life Yon will soon realize really who quickly you will become attached to your new machine as a friernL of the family new lends you a hand. The ingenIous construction rtzalces it possible o do many jobs on the machine which until now had to be done by band * 2 SAFE GUARD THE ACTION OF YOUR MACHINE Make sure the balance wheel always turns toward the operator. Never run the machine with the presser foot in the down position without cloth between the presser foot and the feed dog. Never run machine when the bobbin case and the needle are threaded without first placing material under the presser foot. Caution, never try to help the machine feed by pulling the material through the feed. This will create a bent needle condition. The machine’s feed is entirely automatic. Never operate the machine without the hook race cover the bobbin case in the closed position. Keep a small piece of cloth underneath presser foot whenever machine is not in use. This will prevent damage to feed dog and presser foot. Do not operate machine when presser foot lever is raised. Keep slide or hinged closed when operating machine. —3— TO WIND THE BOBBIN Stop Motion by means of which the balance It is necessary to understand the function of the when required, thus permitting the winding of wheel is disconnected from the sewing mechanism, the bobbin without sewing. holding the balance wheel with the left hand. a) Turn the stop motion knob toward you while freely while the needle bar remains motio This will then permit the balance wheel to turn ii less. de of arm. b) Place a spooi of thread on the spool pin at backsi (3). guide thread d notche the h throug c) Pass the thread guide (16) at right corner of the thread winder bobbin the h throug down thread the d) Draw base of machine. bobbin seven or eight times and place e) Now wind the end of the thread around an empty winder. threaded bobbin on the spindle (C) of the bobbin making sure that the Pin on the spindle hand, left the with spindle f) Press the bobbin into the fits into the slot in the bobbin. the small rubber wheel presses against the g) Push the bobbin winder levever (D) down until between the sides of the bobbin holding it hub of the balance wheel and the clasp (E) falls in position. the machine as in sewing.

The machine is now ready for sewing. It is important once the machine is threaded, to make certain that the presser foot is down, and that there is fabric between presser foot and needle plate. Failure to observe this precaution may cause the threads to get tangled underneath the needleplate. jam the shuttle hook and damage or break the needle. Note : Refer the Numbers to P. 1.

Pressute on material must be varied according to the materials to be sewn. Instead of ordinary Presser Regulat ing Thumb Screw, this machine is equlppeci with Darner ( Patch-O-Matic) for quicker and easier adjustment of pressure of presser foot on material. The pressure will be increased simply by pressing downward on the top of regulator until the desired tension is obtained. \Vhen the regulator is at its bottom, the maximum pressure shall be given. To lessen the pressure, turn the body clockwise by which will automatically jump up inside part of regulator reducing the pressure to the miii imum. In this position, mending, darning, monogram work etc., may be done by moing mitered low1y by hand hilc running tn ichine tt i fur speed It ta worth rcmcmb< ring that the heavier the material, the heavier the pressure and the lighter the material, the lighter the pressure. When, however, is applied more than necessary, it will cause heavy running of the machine, hence pressure must always be adjusted within the suitable limit. - 11 ADJUSTING THE STITCH this machine can In order to change length of stitch, indicated by the be adjnsted to make “0” to “5” view.finder, ith numerals on the stitch indicating “5” being the “i” being the smallest stitch and longest. dial until the To set the stitch properlY turn the view-finder and the desired number appears in the number corresponds to desired stitch length. which number gives A little experience will teach you material you are you the proper stitch for whatever working with. 13 ITCH TO REGULATE THE ZIGZAG ST X Ll( /\( idth lt r B.
