Controlling Sewing Speed

Speed control slider
Sewing speed can be varied according to your sewing needs with the speed control slider. q To increase sewing speed, slide it to the right. w To decrease sewing speed, slide it to the left.

Foot control

Sewing speed is varied by the foot control. The harder you press down on the foot control, the faster the machine runs. The machine runs at the maximum speed set by the speed control slider when the foot control is fully depressed.
Operating Instructions: The symbol O on a switch indicates the "off" position of a switch. For appliances with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other): To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way. Foot controller Model 21371 is for use with sewing machine Model MC6600P.

Function Buttons

1 Start/stop button
Press this button to start or stop the machine. The machine starts running slowly for the first few stitches, it then runs at the speed set by the speed control slider. The button turned on to red while the machine running. The button turned on to green while the machine stopping. NOTES: Start/stop button cannot be used when the foot control is connected to the machine. If you start the machine with the presser foot up (normal up position or extra lifted position), the LCD screen will advise you to lower tht the machine. (See page 11. for the presser lifter position)

7 Blind hem foot G: This foot is specially designed for blind hemming. The guide on the foot helps feed the fabric and sew a straight and nearly invisible blind-hem. 8 Cording foot H: This foot is specially designed to hold one or three strands of cording to create braiding. Overcasting Foot M: 9 This foot is specially designed to simulate professional style overlocking. The wires on the foot effectively prevent the fabric edge from puckering or rolling.
10 1/4 Seam foot O: This foot is useful for patchwork piecing. The guide on the foot maintains an exact 1/4 (0.7 cm) seam allowance. 11 Basting/Darning foot P-2: This is a special foot for basting. It holds the fabric while taking a stitch, synchronizing with the needle bar movement. This foot can also be used for free motion embroidery or quilting. 12 Automatic buttonhole foot R: This foot is for buttonholes and for darning. Place a button in the button holder on the rear of the foot. This automatically sets the buttonhole size. 13 Dual feed foot AD: This is a special foot for hard-to- feed materials. This foot effectively prevents fabrics from shifting and puckering. It is great for quilting and matching plaids.

Balancing Thread Tension 5
Correct tension: The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two layers of fabric. For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not show on the right side of the fabric, and the needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side of the fabric. 1 Needle Thread 2 Right Side of the Fabric 3 Wrong Side of the Fabric 4 Bobbin Thread
Adjusting the tension Tension adjustment may be needed depending on the sewing materials, layers of fabric and other sewing conditions. Turn the tension control dial to set the desired number at the setting mark. Consult information on the LCD screen for the recommended tension setting. 5 Setting Mark 6 Tension Control Dial 7 Recommended Tension Setting
Needle thread tension is too tight: The bobbin thread will appear on the right side of the fabric. Loosen the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a lower number.
Needle thread tension is too loose: The needle thread will appear on the wrong side of the fabric. Tighten the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a higher number.
Adjusting the Foot Pressure
The foot pressure dial should be set at 3 for regular sewing. Reduce the pressure for appliqu, sewing on fine synthetics and elastic fabrics. Set the dial at 1 when sewing extra fine fabrics.

Sensor buttonholes

Machine Setting Pattern: 14 (Mode 3) Thread tension:1-5 Presser foot: Automatic Buttonhole foot R Foot pressure: 3
Square Buttonhole Buttonholes 14 and 16 to 20 are sensor buttonholes. The size of a buttonhole is automatically set by placing a button in the rear of automatic buttonhole foot R. The button holder of the foot takes a button size of 0.5 cm (3/16 ) to 2.5 cm (1) in diameter. It is sometimes necessary to change buttonhole size to match certain heavy or specific fabrics and threads. Make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the fabric to check your settings. The preset width of the buttonhole is suited for ordinary buttons. Apply an interfacing to stretch or fine fabrics.
To sew z Press the up/down needle button to raise the needle. Attach the automatic buttonhole foot R snapping the pin into the groove of the foot holder. 1 Groove 2 Pin
Pull the button holder to the back, and place the button in it. Push it together tightly on the button. 3 Button Holder

NOTE: If the button is extremely thick, make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the fabric. If it is difficult to fit the button through the test buttonhole, you can lengthen the buttonhole by pulling the button holder back a little. The length of the buttonhole will be increased.
c Pull the buttonhole lever down as far as it will go.
