Setting Up
Attaching the power cord and
foot control
Plug the power cord into machine socket,
then into a wall outlet. Always make sure the
power is OFF and remove the plug from the
wall outlet when the machine is not in use,
or when making any adjustments such as
changing needles or light bulb.
Note: Before plugging in, check to ensure that
the foot control is of type “4C-337G” or
“C-9000”.
Machine speed
The machine speed is adjusted by increasing
or decreasing the pressure on the foot
control.
When not in use, do not place anything on
the foot control to prevent damage to the
foot control or motor.
For the USA and Canada
This sewing machine has a polarized
plug (one blade wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to fi t in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fi t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed
electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not modify the plug in any way.

Cloth Presser
The cloth presser is to prevent cloth/fabric/
materials from lifting during the felting
process.
1. Place the cloth/fabric/materials on the
needle plate and under the cloth presser.
2. Loosen the cloth presser height adjusting
screw to adjust the height of the cloth
presser.
3. Move the clear fabric cover with needle
guard up or down until the red indicator
on the presser bar aligns with the correct
height for the thickness of your fabric
and felting material.
L= low position for thin or medium fabrics.
M= medium position for medium weight
fabrics.
H= high position for heavy or thick fabrics.
4. Tighten the clear fabric cover height
adjusting screw.
Note: The fabric and felting material must move
freely under the clear fabric cover with needle guard
without any restrictions.

Let your creativity soar with this needle felting machine! Now you can make your projects
even more creative. Let your imagination soar to create beautiful felted embellishment on
your garments, arts and crafts, home decorating, quilting, sewing, scrap booking and much
more.
Fabric and trims that can be used
Just about any fabric can be felted with the needle felting machine, however, some fabrics
tend to have more favorable results when embellishing or laundering afterward.
The recommended fabrics and trims are those made from natural fi bers, such as linen, wool,
wool roving, and wool, silk or cotton yarns. The best characteristic for fabrics is a napped or
textured surface.
A napped surface will adhere to a natural fi ber/napped surface/or mixed fi ber base.
Avoid synthetics with “wash and wear” type of weaves and fi nishes that have a smooth
surface.
Laundering embellished projects
To determine if your embellished project is washable, it is recommended that you do a test
sample fi rst from the fabrics you intend to use. Wash the fi nished sample the same way you
will wash it after the project is completed.
For example, if you plan on washing the completed project with a load of jeans and then put
it into the dryer, then do so with the sample. Do not “pamper” unless you plan on pampering
the fi nished project.
NOTE: Laundering rules of “pre-washing”:
Pre-washing all fabrics before sewing does not apply. With the needle felting machine, you
want thefi nished project to “shrink” so the felted fi bers will stay meshed. With this in mind,
be sure to make the project a little large, since the main fabric is a natural fi ber, to allow for
shrinkage.
Because of not pre-washing fi bers before embellishing, color fading can occur when working
with bright and contrasting colors. Be sure to make a test sample and wash it for best results.
Getting Started
7
English
Layer the project fabric with the material
that will be felted together to create the
embellishment. Make sure that the smaller
piece to be felted is on the correct side of
the project (right or wrong side).
The embellishing fabric can be put on either
the right or the wrong side of the project.
Experiment fi rst on scraps to see which look
you like best for your project.
Place the layers to be felted together under
the clear fabric cover with needle guard.
Adjust the height if you need to at this time
so the project can move freely under the
clear fabric cover with needle guard
(see page 3).
Move the fabric in any direction so the
needles can mesh the layers together.
When you have fi nished embellishing the
needle stop position will automatically be up
and out of the project. Because the needles
always stop in the highest up position, your
projects are very easy to place into the felting
area and very easy to remove. You will never
break needles placing or removing your
project.
Start Embellishing

Remove the fl at bed extension by sliding it
to the left and the machine will convert to
a free arm. This will allow you to embellish
sleeves, pant legs, and small areas that are
sewn in the round. This will also give you
access to the free arm door to clean out the
lint that has accumulated from felting.
Accessory Storage
Open the accessory storage compartment by
pulling the drawer forward.
