TOP TENSION CONTROL Model 1050 Model1020, 1030, 1040, 1045 Probably the most important control on your machine is this one that regulates your top thread tension. It consists of discs between which the thread passes. The pressure on these discs is regulated by turning the dial on the front of the control.
ADJUSTING TOP TENSIONS A perfect straight stitch will have threads locked between the two layers of fabric with no loops on top or bottom. (_ Upper thread too tight Decrease Tension (_ Upper thread to.
ADJUSTING BOBBIN TENSIONS Bobbin tension requires adjusting less frequently than the upper thread tension. If the stitch is satisfactory but the seam is puckered, it may be necessary to loosen the tension on both the top and bottom threads. Be sure to balance them as indicated on Page 9.
STITCH LENGTH CONTROL The stitch length control located on the right side of the machine regulates the length of the stitch you select. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER-THE SHORTER THE STITCH. The stitch setting you use will be determined by the thickness of the fabric you are sewing.
REVERSE STITCH CONTROL It is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in reverse. This is called back tacking. Back tacking fastens the ends of the seams firmly and prevents raveling. When reverse stitching is needed, turn the control clockwise and hold there during sewing.
SPECIAL STITCH DIAL There are certain types of utility stitches you will use often in your home sewing. This control enables you to just dial the stitch you need for the task at hand. THE RED DOT SETTING The Red Dot setting illustrated is the one used for most of your stitching- either straight or simple zigzag.
SPECIAL MENDING STITCH BLIND STITCH SETTING You will find that much of your sewing is in the mending category. For this reason you have been provided with a stitch for the repair of tears. Use of the stitch setting shown is given in more detail in the next section under Mending.
OVERCAST STRETCH STITCH SMOCKING STRETCH STITCH Overcast stretch stitching is made by using the stitch setting shown in the illustration above. Detaileg instruc- tions are given in the next section of the book. You can make smocking stretch stitching by setting the dial to the setting indicated above.

THE GUIDE LINE EXTENDING ABOVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE NEEDLE PLATE IS THE "ALL IMPORTANT" 5/8" SEAM LINE. The corneripg guides are convenient when turning a square corner 5/8" from the fabric edge.
NEEDLES Use KENMORE needles. The size of the needle should conform with the size of the thread and both should be suitable to the fabric (See next page). Never use a bent needle or one with a blunt point. I I II I i j II I Fig. 1 Fig. 1. shows you the exact length of your needle.
