• To transport machine, put the presser foot down on a piece of fabric, put the needle down
  and lower the feed dogs.
• Put the machine in the seat well of your car so that it cannot fall over or be flung around if you have to stop suddenly.
• To check the tension use 2 different colour threads and use a 0.3 mm satin stitch.
• Lower feed dogs when putting on a complicated foot such as a buttonhole foot.
• Use right size needle and thread combination.
• Do not push or pull the fabric – let the feed dogs move it.
• Use a vertical spool holder for non standard threads and for straight wound bobbins.
• Twisted wound threads can be used on a horizontal spool holder.
• Don’t pull thread backwards through the disks when changing thread.
• Do not leave machine on unattended

Maintenance:

• Clean under stitch plate/feed dogs.
• Clean and oil hook.
• Clean tension discs with a pipe cleaner.
• Use a cotton bud for cleaning the hook race.
• Do not use compressed air.
• change needle frequently and use all stitches from time to time particularly the tacking stitch (if you have one).
