Needle, bobbin & presser-foot details
Read the model-specific requirements with each answer before choosing parts.
Needle
System type
- The manual does not print a formal system code such as 130/705 H or 15x1, so exact cross-system equivalence remains unknown.
Use standard household sewing-machine needles.
Sources and pages
Needle insertion
- Turn off the machine, lower the presser foot and tighten the clamp screw firmly.
Push the needle fully upward with its flat side facing away from you.
Sources and pages
Inspection
- The warning applies to needle condition and does not establish sizes or special-use needle requirements.
Do not use blunt or damaged needles; check frequently for barbed or blunt points.
Sources and pages
Threader use
- No numerical needle/threader size limits are stated by this passage; do not import another machine’s range.
- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.
With power off and needle highest, lower threader fully; its hook passes through the eye from behind. Take thread from left around guide and under hook, hold the tail while slowly releasing knob, then pull the rear loop through.
Bobbin
Insertion path
- Follow the diagram for unwind orientation; the extracted wording alone does not normalize clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
Place the bobbin in its case, guide thread through the front notch and tension spring, then into the side notch.
Sources and pages
Case installation
- This is the OEM replacement position, not a standardized hook-type classification.
Insert the bobbin case with its knob next to the stopper in the hook-assembly area.
Sources and pages
Class system
Not yet verifiedThe reviewed passages do not state a standardized bobbin class or system.

A needle up/down button changes the needle stop position.
Sources and pages
Controls
Reverse hold
- No latched-reverse or automatic reverse-length claim.
- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.
The machine sews in reverse only while the reverse lever is held down.
Fabric reference chart
- Illustrated chart must be consulted for complete fabric/task selection. Example dial settings do not establish global width/length maxima or leather capacity.
- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.
It relates fabric/technique to stitch, length, width, thread tension, presser foot and pressure. Its stretch-seam example uses zigzag length1.5and width1.5. Basting can leave permanent holes in leather/vinyl; blind hems are not recommended for lightweight fabric or leather/vinyl.
Stitch and length selection
- Dial illustration0–4is not treated as a formal globally specified maximum stitch length. Buttonhole symbol is visual, not invented numeric setting.
- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.
Raise needle above fabric and presser foot before turning pattern or length dial. Set the pattern number at the mark; higher length number means longer stitch. Stretch patterns require the stretch setting; buttonhole density uses the illustrated buttonhole-marked band.
Stretch balance
- Owner stretch-balance control only; no service timing or calibration instruction.
- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.

- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.
Straight-stitch position varies from center at5to left at0. For wider stitch patterns a higher width number means wider stitch; raise needle above fabric/foot before changing the dial.
Thread tension balance
- Do not convert this owner upper-tension adjustment into bobbin-case screw/service advice.
- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.
Balanced straight stitches lock between two fabric layers. For zigzag, bobbin thread stays off the top while needle thread may show slightly underneath. Bobbin thread on top calls for a lower upper-tension number; excessive needle thread underneath calls for higher. Materials, layers and sewing method affect setting.
Feed & fabric control
Drop teeth reset
- A lever change alone is not documented as immediately raising the teeth; follow the illustrated mechanism.
- Exact retained model/edition only. Follow complete illustrated OEM instructions; switch off for needle-area/thread/foot adjustments and unplug before cleaning, cover removal or bulb replacement. Operate documented powered sewing/winding controls only in their stated sequence with hands clear.
