• For general sewing, use red needle.
• Fine threads and needles should be used for sewing
ne fabrics.
• In general, use the same thread for both needle and
bobbin.
• Use a blue tip needle for sewing ne fabrics, stretch
fabrics, tricot and buttonholes to prevent skipped
stitches.
• Use a purple tip needle for sewing knits, free quilting
and across the hem to prevent skipped stitches.
• Use a stabilizer or interface to stretch or ne fabrics to
prevent seam puckering.
• Always test the thread and needle size on a small piece
of the same fabric you will use for actual sewing.

Variety of Straight Stitches
U1 Straight stitch in center needle position

U2 Lock-a-matic stitch
Use this stitch to secure the beginning and the end of a
seam with backstitching.
When you reach the end of the seam, press the reverse
button once.
The machine will sew four reverse stitches, four forward
stitches, and then stop sewing automatically.
U3 Locking stitch
This unique stitch is used where an invisible locking
stitch is needed.
The machine will sew several locking stitches at the
beginning and continue sewing forward.
When you press the reverse button at the end of the
seam, the machine will sew several locking stitches in
place, then stop sewing automatically.
U4 Straight stitch in left needle position
Use this stitch to seam fabrics close to the edge.
U5 Triple stretch stitch
This strong, durable stitch is recommended for areas
where both elasticity and strength are needed to ensure
comfort and durability.
Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and armhole
seams.
Also use it when constructing items such as backpacks
for extra strength.
U6, U7 Stretch stitches
These are narrow stretch stitches designed to eliminate
puckering on knit fabrics and bias seams, while
permitting the seam to be pressed completely open at.
Use U7 for seaming ne fabrics or stretch fabrics.

Sewing with the Dual Feed Device
Patterns U1 to U5 and Q1 to Q7 can be sewn with the

Dual feed balancing dial
The dual feed balancing dial should be set at “0”,
however you may need to adjust the dual feed balance
depending on the type of fabric.
Check the feed balance by test sewing on a scrap piece
of the fabric you intend to use.
(A): If the lower layer puckers, turn the dual feed
balancing dial toward “+”.
(B): If the upper layer puckers, turn the dual feed
balancing dial toward “–”.

Variety of Overcasting Stitches
U10 Multiple zigzag stitch
This stitch is used to nish a raw edge of synthetics and
other stretch fabrics that tend to pucker.
Sew along the fabric edge leaving an adequate seam
allowance. After sewing, trim off the seam allowance
closer to the stitches.
U13 Overcasting stitch
This stitch can be used to simultaneously seam and
overcast edges of fabrics.
Use this stitch when you do not need to open seams at.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
U14 Knit stitch
This stitch is recommended for sewing such fabrics
as synthetic knits and stretch velour as it provides the
greatest amount of elasticity and strength.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
For better results, use the zigzag foot A and sew leaving
an adequate seam allowance.
After sewing, trim the seam allowance close to the
stitches.
U15 Double overedge stitch
This stitch is excellent for fabrics that tend to fray
extensively such as linens and gabardines.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn
over the edge to insure that the fabric will not ravel.
U16 Overlock stitch
This stitch nishes the edges of fabric in a way similar
to a commercial overlocking machine for a professional
look.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
