SPOOL PINS HORIZONTAL SPOOL PIN for normal thread spool Place thread spool on the pin and secure with a spool cap to ensure smooth flow of thread. If the thread spool has a thread retaining slit, it should be placed to the right. Select the correct spool pin cap according to the type and diameter of spool being used. The diameter of the spool pin cap should always be larger than that of the spool itself. VERTICAL SPOOL PIN for large thread spool Attach the spool pin. Place the large spool pin cap and felt disc over it. Place a thread spool on the spool pin. PRESSER FOOT LIFTER There are three positions for your presser foot. 1. Lower the presser foot to sew. 2. Raise the lifter to the middle position to insert or remove fabric. 3. Lift it to its highest position to change the presser foot or to remove thick fabric.

CONVERTING TO FREE-ARM SEWING Your machine can be used either as a flat- bed or as a freearm model. With the extension table in position, it provides a large working surface as a standard flat-bed model. To remove the extension table, hold it firmly with both hands and pull it off to the left as shown. To replace, slide the extension table back into place until it clicks. With the extension table removed the machine converts into a slim free-arm model for sewing children's clothes, cuffs, trouser legs, and other awkward places. 12
