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 t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied 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.

Getting Started
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 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 ber/napped surface/or mixed ber base. Avoid synthetics with wash and wear type of weaves and 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 rst from the fabrics you intend to use. Wash the 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 nished project.
NOTE: Laundering rules of pre-washing:
Pre-washing all fabrics before sewing does not apply. With the needle felting machine, you want thenished project to shrink so the felted bers will stay meshed. With this in mind, be sure to make the project a little large, since the main fabric is a natural ber, to allow for shrinkage. Because of not pre-washing 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.

Start Embellishing

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 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 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.
Flat Bed Extension / Free Arm
Remove the 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.

Maintenance

Changing the needle(s)
Use #S1037 needles for the needle felting machine. Do not use any other type of needles. Note: #S1037 needle is a very special needle and is exclusive for the needle felting machine. Purchase these needles at the same authorized dealer where you purchased your machine. When you change needle(s), unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 1. Turn the handwheel until the needle bar is at the highest position. 2. Remove the presser height adjusting screw and carefully remove the clear fabric cover with needle guard, from the machine. 3.
