This is used to decorate hems and tablecloths on thin
or medium weight fabrics in addition to plain weave
fabrics.

The needle threader cannot be used with the
wing needle, otherwise the sewing machine
may be damaged. Manually pass the thread
through the eye of the needle from the front
to the back. For details, refer to “Upper
threading” (page 23).
Select a stitch width of 6.0 mm (15/64 inch)
or less, otherwise the needle may bend or
break.
After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn
the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the needle
does not touch the presser foot. If the needle
hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or
break.
