Needle and Presser Foot

1. Needle — The needle of your sewing machine can be changed by turning the screw on the shaft above the needle. The flat side of the needle must be flush to the shaft (if the needle is installed backwards, it will fall out). Your sewing machine also incorporates an automatic threading mechanism that threads the needle when you pull the lever connected to the mechanism.
2. Presser Foot — The presser foot maintains pressure on the fabric during stitching, keeping fabric smooth and in position. Open areas within the shape of the presser foot accommodate different stitches. There are different presser feet for zigzag stitches, for buttonhole stitches, and for zipper stitches. Your sewing machine ships from the factory with a basic presser foot already installed. This is sufficient for sewing basic stitches.
3. Thread Cutter — Your sewing machine is equipped with a thread cutter. Simply draw the thread through the opening in the cutter and pull down gently over the blade set in the plastic hook, using enough pressure to separate the thread. You may then remove the fabric.
4. Needle Plate — The needle plate incorporates moving grooves beneath the presser foot (“feed dogs”), which pull the fabric through the machine as you sew. The feed dogs can be dropped (lowered) for quilting projects.
5. Buttonhole Lever Arm — This arm is used with the one-step buttonhole foot when sewing buttons. Refer to page 35, “Buttonhole Foot Sewing,” for more information. Always remove pins prior to sewing. Always keep feed dogs free of debris, pins, and scraps of fabric or thread, to prevent clogging and jamming of the bobbin.

Using The Foot Controller 

The speed control slider sets the maximum speed at which you sew, but the foot controller allows you to control the actual speed at which you sew, from zero up to the maximum speed selected by the slider. 
Connect the foot controller to the socket on the sewing machine. Then simply press lightly on the foot controller with your heel resting at the base.  

The more pressure you exert, the faster the sewing machine operates. When you release pressure on the foot control, the sewing machine will stop. 

NOTE: Before using the foot controller, connect it to the foot controller socket on the sewing machine. 

WARNING —  Always watch the needle or the Stitch CamTM when sewing. Keep fingers away from the needle area. You may feel the natural urge to look down at the foot pedal the first few times you use it, but resist this urge to reduce the risk of personal injury. Operate the foot pedal through feel and watch the needle or the Stitch CamTM  as you sew.  
Always switch off the sewing machine before connecting the foot controller. This prevents the machine from running accidentally when the controller is connected. 

NOTE: The Start/Stop key cannot be used to start and stop the sewing machine when the foot controller is connected to the sewing machine.  

Speed Control Slider 

Slide the speed control to the left (1) for slower speed and to the right (3) for the highest speed. You can adjust the speed only to the maximum for the selected stitch, which varies from stitch to stitch. The setting selected by the slider becomes the foot controller’s maximum speed. The speeds are as follows: 

1. Low — 90-300 stitches per minute
2. Medium — 300-500 stitches per minute
3. High — 500-950 stitches per minute

1. Raise the presser foot lever.
2. Rotate the handwheel counter-clockwise to raise the needle to its highest position.
3. Open the top cover of the machine.
   Upper Threading 
4. Insert the spool of thread and secure it with one of the supplied spool caps.

5. Pull the thread through the thread guide as shown.

   

6. Pull the thread through wire guide as shown.

7. Guide the thread down, around, and up into the long U-shaped channel until it is captured by the mechanism, then bring the thread down to the needle area. The cutaway view shows what is happening inside the machine when you bring the thread down and around the U-shaped tension plate: the thread is captured by the internal mechanism so it can be brought down to the needle.

   

8. Bring the thread down to the needle and guide it as indicated. It is now possible to thread the needle. Refer to the next page for instructions on using the auto-threader.

   

   Auto-threader 

9. Loop the thread around the hook of the auto-threader as shown here.
10. Press the auto-threader lever to bring the hooked thread down toward the needle.

11. The thread should be guided into position by the auto-threader relative to the needle as shown here. When the auto-threader lever is released, the thread will be pulled through the eye of the needle.

    

    NOTE: If this is your first time using the automatic threader tool, it may take a few attempts to catch the thread as shown in Step 11. The hook that passes through the needle must be able to catch the thread. Press down firmly to make sure the hook passes through the needle fully. Release simultaneously, opening your hand and letting go of the hook at the same time. 

12. Slowly release the auto-threader lever, drawing the thread through the eye of the needle.
13. If auto-threading is successful, the thread will appear as shown.

14. Position the thread to prepare for lower threading.

    

Make sure these three conditions are met in order to have consistent success with the automatic threader: 

1. The needle must be in the up position.
2. The auto-threader lever must be fully depressed to ensure the hook within the needle cage has fully rotated through the needle eyelet. 
3. When drawing the thread across the needle cage, make sure the thread is pulled back against the needle and up against the bottom side of the hook. This will help the hook to catch the thread successfully when retracting.

Winding the Bobbin in Preparation for Lower Threading 

CAUTION: Always stop sewing before winding the bobbin. The 60609 sewing machine uses a BO-103(Z) style bobbin. Use of any unapproved bobbin could damage the machine or result in poor performance. Additional bobbins are available at Spiegelsewing.com. 

To wind the bobbin in preparation for lower threading, stop sewing, open the top cover, and perform the following steps:  

1. Place a spool of thread onto the spool pin and secure it with one of the provided spool caps.
2. Pull the thread through the thread guide and counter-clockwise around the bobbin winder thread guide.
3. Guide the thread back toward the bobbin as shown.
4. Pick up the bobbin, pass the end of the thread through the hole in the bobbin, and reposition the bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft. The bobin is now prepared for winding.

5. Insert the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle and push the spindle into the winding position. The bobbin winding icon will be highlighted on the sewing machine’s LCD display.

   

   Bobbin Prepared for Winding 

6. Using the Start/Stop button or the foot controller, run the sewing machine to wind the bobbin.

   

   NOTE: For best resuls, use at least medium speed for bobbin winding.

7. Release the foot controller or press the Start/Stop key and cut the end of the thread when the bobbin is full. The bobbin will automatically stop winding when it is full, but the machine will

8. When bobbin winding is completed, push the bobbin winder back to the left position to return to sewing. Remove the bobbin from the shaft.

   

NOTE: When the bobbin winder spindle is in the “bobbin winding” position, the machine will not sew and the hand wheel will not turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder spindle to the left (“sewing position”). 

Lower (Bobbin) Threading 

WARNING —  Always switch off the machine power before performing lower threading. 

CAUTION  —  The 60609 sewing machine uses a BO-103(Z) style bobbin. Use of any unapproved bobbin may damage the machine or result in poor performance. Always stop sewing before winding the bobbin. 

NOTE: The needle must be raised to its upper position before inserting or removing the bobbin. 

Perform the following steps to insert the bobbin:  

1. Remove the accessories box and open the hinged cover below the needle area. The bobbin case has a metal latch in its face. Pull this latch to release the bobbin case from the sewing machine. Remove the bobbin case.

2. Hold the bobbin case so the thread unwinds in the direction shown and put the bobbin in the bobbin case, pulling the thread into the notch.

   

3. Draw the thread under the tension spring, out from the slot on the end of the spring, and pass it through the bobbin case thread guard. Allow about 4 inches of thread to hang freely from the bobbin.

   

4. Insert the bobbin case fully into the machine as shown and release the latch. Make sure the metal finger fits into the notch at the top of the race cover. You should hear a loud “click” when the bobbin seats properly.
   NOTE: Do not operate the sewing machine with the bobbin installed unless you hear the bobbin locking mechanism click, indicating it is seated properly.
