Sewing
Start of Sewing
PLEASE NOTE!
■
Make sure that the upper thread and lower thread are correctly threaded! Incorrect
thread guidance can cause the thread to rip, stitches can be missed, or the fabric
may curl along the seam. Under some circumstances, the device might be damaged.
■
Practise fi rst on a scrap piece of fabric before you start the actual sewing. Check the
thread tension.
■
The threads and the fabric must be inserted in the sewing machine correctly be-
fore you press the Ein / Stand-by button or the foot control. After you activate the
Ein / Stand-by button or the foot control, the machine starts to sew immediately.
■
During sewing, you should not pull or push the fabric. This may cause the needle to
break.
■
In reverse mode (manual mode), the machine does not sew any fabric. Constant and
prolonged reverse mode will harm the device and may damage it in the long term.
■
Danger of injury! Keep fi ngers away from all moving parts. Special care should be
taken in the area of the sewing needle.
You can use the mini sewing machine to sew fabrics with the straight stitch (4 mm long).
5. Select the sewing speed you want by pressing the speed button. Slower sewing (L;
depressed button) is suitable for more precise, sophisticated tasks where the ma-
chine is stopped more often. For a long seam without any interruptions, choose the
higher speed (H ; not depressed button).
6a. Sewing with the foot control: Hold the fabric fi rmly and activate the foot control. The
sewing process will begin. If you release your foot from the foot control, the sewing
machine stops.
6b. Sewing without the foot control: Hold the fabric fi rmly and press the Ein / Stand-by
button to start the sewing machine (and to stop it again).

1. Elevate the needle by turning the hand wheel (clockwise)
away from you; raise up the presser foot lever.
2. Place the fabric which is to be machined under the presser
foot so that the needle is positioned approx. 1 cm inside
the edge of the fabric. During sewing, the fabric will be
transported backwards, away from you. This is why it must
be placed in front of the sewing machine.
3. Lower the presser foot.
4. Turn the hand wheel (anticlockwise) towards you until the
needle pricks into the fabric. Hold the fabric fi rmly.
7. The fabric will be sewn and transported behind the sewing
machine. Carefully guide the fabric with one hand in front
of the needle and one hand behind it so that the seam
ends up straight.
