NEEDLES

It is very

important

that

the

proper

type

needle

be

used

with

your

M'80-JNS

or

M'1 00-JNS

machine.

These

needles

are

readily

available

from

Meistergram

in the

following

sizes: (The

numbers

in

parentheses

are

the

metric

equivalent)

#7 (60),

#9

(65),

#1

0 (70),

#11

(75), #12 (80}, #14 (90).

The size

of

the

needle

is

stamped

on the

shank

of

each

needle.

Sizes 10

or

11

will

work

well on

almost

all types and

thicknesses

of

material.

For

thin

or

sheer

material

a size 7

or

9 may

provide

better

results:

for

very

thick

material

a

size 12

or

14 may be required. However, when

switching

to

these

extreme

size

needles it may be

necessary

to

re-time the machine. (see

section

on

Timing)

Inserting Needle

1) Turn

balance

wheel

forward

until

needle

bar

is at

it's

highest

point. Loosen

screw

on needle

bar

and

insert

needle as

far

up

as

it

will

go.

2)

Be

sure

needle

eye and

long

groove

are

facing

forward

toward

operator.

The

scarf

should

be

facing

toward

the back.

3) Be

sure

needle

is

not

bent,

blunt

or

rough. Do

not

use

needle

size

any

larger

than

necessary

for

the

material

being

monogrammed.

The

upper

thread

tension and

tension

can be

set

independently

of

each

other

and are

very

important

for

producing

proper

stitch

(see

section

on

Bobbin

Tension

and Case).

Tensions

should

be

set

so

that

on

the

back

of

the

monogram,

the

bobbin

stitch

is

about

1f3

of

the

width

of

the

top

zigzag

stitch.

Tension on the

top

thread

can be

adjusted

by

turning

the

tension

nut (A) in Fig.

1.

Ten-

sion

may

be

adjusted

for

variances

in

thread

and

material

being

embroidered.

If tension is

too

tight

it

may cause

thread

breakage,

puck-

ering

of

material,

the

bobbin

will

be

too

wide

on the

back

or

the

bobbin

may

pull

up

and

show

through

the

top

of

the

material. If ten-

sion

is

too

loose,

thread

may

loop

on

top

or

bottom

of

material,

embroidery

will

not

lay

smoothly

and

very

little

bobbin

will

show

on

back

of

monogram.

To

check

tension,

thread

the

machine

through

the

tension

assembly

and

take-up

lever.

Then

pull

on

thread

by

hand

to

feel the

amount

of

tension

and

adjust

accordingly.

Take-up

lever

should

be

at

its

highest

posi-

tion

when

doing

this.

PRESSER FOOTASSEMBLY

ADJUSTING THE PRESSER FOOT

The

"jumping"

presser

foot

is an

exclu-

sive

design

found

only

on

Meistergram

monogram

machines. The

presser

foot

action

is

coordinated

with

the

move-

ment

of

the

needle

bar

so

that

the

foot

applies

pressure to the

material

during

stitching

and then releases

pressure

to

allow

movement

of

the material

after

the

needle

has

risen

clear

of

the

materiaL

To

adjust

the

presser

foot,

turn

the

balance

wheel

forward

so

that

the

needle

has

gone

into

the

material

and then has

just

come

out

of

the

material

on

the

upward

stroke.

At

this

point,

loosen

the

screw

holding

the

presser

toot

and posit1on

the

foot

so

that

it is

lightly

pressing

down

on the

material.

Tighten

the

screw.

The

presser

foot

should

be

adjusted

when

embroidering

different

thicknesses

of

material.

Oniy

slight

pressure

is

required

to

hold

the

material

as

the

needle

passes

up

through

it. If

too

much

pressure

is

used the

foot

will

bang

on the

work

plate.

The

foot

can

be raised

up

and

thus

disconnected

from

the

action

of

the

needle

movement

by

lifting

the

lever

on

the

back

of

the

head.

However,

you

should

not

operate

the

machine

with

the

foot

in

this

position

as

the

screw

on

the

needle

bar

may

hit

the

foot

and

bend

it. If you

wish to

operate

the

machine

with

the

presser

bar

up,

remove

the

presser

foot.
