NEEDLE SIZE
Use KENMORE 6021 needles. The size of needle should
conform to the size of the thread and both should be suitable
to the material. The same size thread should be used in the
bobbin as on the upper part of the machine for ordinary
sewing. Never use a bent needle or one with a blunt point.

This is the exact length of the needle to be used in


your machine. Comparison with this illustration will
determine whether the needle you have is the
correct one for your machine.

PICKING UP BOBBIN THREAD
Raise presser foot lever.
Hold needle thread loosely in left hand and rotate
hand wheel toward you one complete turn.
Bring bobbin thread up by pulling upper thread
(See illustration).
Place threads back under presser foot.

ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE OF THE PRESSER FOOT


Push down outer ring of presser foot knob (See
illustration). This will release pressure of presser foot.
To increase pressure, push down inner pin until
suitable pressure is obtained.

For ordinary sewing, the inner pin should be about


half way down. When sewing multiple thickness of
heavy material, reduce the pressure. Increase it when
sewing sheer fabrics.

Insufficient pressure may cause skipped stitches or


difficulty in guiding the fabric. If feed dog or presser
foot marks appear on the fabric, reduce the pressure.

10
The stitch length lever controls the stitch length. Set lever to any
desired stitch length position between 0 and 4 by turning knob
SETTING until the knob indicator is aligned with stitch length number
STITCH desired.
The red mark indicates the setting for a satin stitch. This will vary
LENGTH slightly depending upon the type of material to be sewn. At No. 4
the longest stitch is obtained. The size of stitch you select will
depend on fabric you are sewing. To lengthen stitch, turn the knob
counter clockwise until the lever can be lowered to the position
desired. To straight stitch, stitch width control should be set on 0
setting, or by removal of decorative cam.

REVERSE Raise lever for reverse stitching. Lower lever for forward stitching. It
is best to begin and end most steams with reverse stitching often
STITCHING called back tacking.

For accomplishing quicker, more even and firmer basting, we


suggest you regulate the machine in the following manner: Set
BASTING stitch length at No. 4 for the longest possible stitch. Basting is
easily removed by pulling bottom thread. When basting very sheer
fabrics use a paper backing.

Be sure both threads are drawn back under the presser


foot. Lower needle into fabric about ½ inch from beginning
of seam. Push stitch length control lever up for reverse
FASTENING stitching. Stitch in reverse until needle reaches beginning of
A seam.
Move stitch length control lever down for forward stitching
SEAM and complete seam. When you reach the end, raise the
stitch length control lever and sew back over ½ inch of
completed seam.

11
ADJUSTING TENSIONS

A perfect stitch will have threads locked between the


two layers of fabric with no loops on top or bottom.
(Refer to page 32)

PROBLEM REMEDY

12
When stitching is unsatisfactory as in
figures 2 and 3, adjust the upper thread
tension. Lower thread tension requires
adjustment less frequently than the
upper thread tension.

When stitch is satisfactory, as in figure 1


and seam is badly puckered, the cause
may be tight tensions and both upper
and lower may be adjusted. (See page 32)

When adjusting the tension on the


bobbin case, make slight adjustments
with a screwdriver. (See page 32)

the fabric to be used to determine tension thread lint into the shuttle. See pages 28 &
adjustment and correct stitch settings. 29.

14
CHANGING THE PRESSER FOOT
The various attachment feet available for certain
kinds of work are to be fastened to the presser bar.

To attach the foot, raise the presser bar to its highest


position by raising the presser foot lever. Loosen the
presser foot thumb screw, choose the proper foot,
insert from the front. Tighten the screw using the
large screw driver and make sure that the foot is
secure.

TURNING A CORNER

Stop sewing machine with needle in fabric. Raise


presser foot. Turn fabric. Lower presser foot and
continue stitching.

FEED DOG

The feed dog control knob is situated on the right


front of machine bedplate. When knob is turned to
the right feed dog drops and does not pull material.
This allows the operator freedom of movement of
material, as for darning. For regular sewing, turn knob
to the left.

15
ZIGZAG CONTROL
SETTING STITCH WIDTH
Insert disc # 1A. Turn the stitch width control knob to
the desired setting between 0 and 4 on the knob. Zigzag
stitch width increase from 0 to 4. Straight stitching is
possible only with control on 0 setting or by removal of
decorative cam. (Dual needle plates-see pages 11)

INSERTING PATTERN DISC


1. Turn hand wheel so that the needle is in its highest
position.
2. Pull pattern disc shaft cover open.
3. Push cam follower releaser lever (A) to the right and
keep it there during insertion.
4. Grasp pattern disc and slip disc onto the shaft. Make
sure the retaining pin (B) enters hole in disc.
5. To remove pattern disc, open cover and pull it out from
the shaft.

There are two different patterns on each disc. A picture of


each pattern is on the disc surface. Position disc into
machine with desired pattern facing up.

16
DECORATIVE STITCHING
This machine enables you to sew beautiful decorative and embroidery stitches by means of
various discs supplied with your machine. The movements of the needle are controlled by
the disc. Basic decorative stitches are made with stitch width at 4 and stitch length at the
red mark on the indicator plate. The latter will vary slightly depending upon the type of
material to be sewn. Pattern will be changed if using any patterns also can be made with
double needle. See page 25.

17
DARNING

WITH PRESSER FOOT:


1. Turn feed dog control to right.
2. Press down outer ring of presser foot knob, see page 10. With presser foot knob in
this position, mending, darning, monogram work, etc. may be done.
3. Stretch fabric tightly between two spring embroidery hoops and place under
needle.
4. Lower presser bar so thread will have some tension. When you start to darn, move
fabric back and forth to cover darning
17 area. Then turn fabric and continue sewing
at right angles to the previous stitching. Use medium machine speed. You can
make any length stitches desired. Slow movement of fabric will make short
darning stitches. Fast movement will make long stitches.
5. When you finish darning, raise presser foot and remove fabric. Increase pressure
for general sewing by pressing down inner pin of the presser foot knob. Turn feed
dog control to left.

WITHOUT PRESSER FOOT:


1. Turn feed dog control to right.
2. Remove presser foot.
Proceed as directed under steps 3 and 4 above.
3. When you finish darning, raise the presser foot lever and remove fabric. Replace
presser foot, and increase pressure for general sewing. Turn feed dog control to
left.

18
SEWING ON BUTTONS Use disc #1A

Center holes in button in slit in presser foot. Lower


presser foot to hold securely. Drop feed dog. Turn
handwheel by hand until needle goes into hole in
button. Adjust stitch width so that needle goes into
second hole. Stitch a number of times to hold securely.

NOTE: To make a small thread shank when sewing on a


flat button, place a straight pin or needle between the
holes of the button.

BLIND STITCHING
Disc #1B
Stitch width 2 (May vary depending on type of material)
Stitch length 3

1. Prepare the hem with a turned and edgestitched


finish or:
2. Apply seam tape along the raw edge with either
straight or zigzag stitching.
3. Turn hem and baste about 1/8 inch from the edge of
the seam tape using longest stitch on the sewing
machine.
4. Fold garment back along basting line and stitch
along garment fold using disc #1B.
5. Remove basting and press hem. The basting step
may be eliminated in a straight hem.

19
Use disc #1A and special buttonhole foot
BUTTONHOLES Stitch length in red mark
Buttonhole control knob F
Feed dog control U

Mark buttonhole length at both ends. Without lowering the foot, let the
needle pierce the fabric at the beginning of the buttonhole. The
buttonhole length will be the distance between the needle and the front
edge of the sliding portions of the foot. Set the front edge of the foot
opening with a slight bartack allowance at the mark on the opposite end
of buttonhole. Lower the foot. Stitch forward until the needle reaches
the red zone on the front edge of foot. Then turn the knob to R, and
stitch the other side of the buttonhole. Turn knob back to F to finish
the end of buttonhole. The speed with which the knob is turned
determines the number of stitches at the ends of the buttonhole. The
slower the knob is turned, while sewing, the more stitches are formed.
See steps 1 to 4.

Reproduction on identical size buttonholes is facilitated with the aid of


the graduations on the left side of the buttonhole foot. These
graduations are 1/8 inch apart. Just mark the starting points of the
buttonholes, let the needle pierce the fabric and set the index mark (A)
on the upper portion of the foot at the same graduation mark (B) as it
was set for the first buttonhole. Lower the foot. Follow the procedures
outlined above. Always make a practice buttonhole on a scrap of fabric
used in the garment using a double thickness of fabric, and an
interfacing if used in garment.

The stitch length may be varied slightly by the stitch length control
lever within the 0 to 1 range. To increase forward stitch move this lever
from the red mark toward 1, to decrease move it toward the 0. The
buttonhole reverse stitch length control (C) is used to match the length
of the reverse stitches with the forward stitches. Turn the dial to the
minus direction for shorter stitches; to the plus direction for longer
stitches. These settings may vary depending on the type of fabric used.

20
21
APPLIQUE Use disc #1A

Baste cutout applique to fabric. Set stitch width 2 to


4. Set stitch length at the red marking. Zigzag stitch
around applique completely covering the raw edge.

SEWING ON LACE Use disc #1A

Set stitch width to 1. Set stitch length to 1 or 2. Place


fabric under the presser foot and place lace on top of
fabric overlapping edge by ¼ inch. Start sewing with
needle at the left stitch. Position fabric and lace so
that needle goes into left edge of lace. To sew two
pieces together to make a continuous pattern, use the
same method.

STRAIGHT OR THREE – CORNERED TEAR


Stitch width 4
Stitch length at red mark
Pattern disc #4A

Position tear under needle and stitch along the


straight tear catching sides of material. When
mending a three cornered tear, stitch from each end
to center.

22
OVERCASTING Use disc #1A

Set stitch width to 4. set stitch length to about 3. zigzag


stitch around raw edge of fabric to completely cover the
edge.

WRITING AND MONOGRAMMING Use disc #1A

Free hand
Stitch width 0 to 4
Feed dog control Down

Draw initial or words to be sewing on fabric and fit fabric


into embroidery hoops. Writing is done with either zigzag
or straight stitching. Remove presser foot. Set stitch
width for straight or zigzag stitches as desired. Slip hoop
and fabric under the needle, lower presser bar and take
one stitch to raise bobbin thread through fabric. Using a
medium speed, stitch along marked outline, guiding
fabric carefully by hands.

23
1. SETTING THE DOUBLE NEEDLE
DOUBLE NEEDLE Raise the needle bar to its highest position and loosen
needle clamp screw. Hold double needle assembly with flat
side away from you. Slip the needle as far as it will go into
needle clamp, and tighten the screw.

2. THREADING THE DOUBLE NEEDLE


Place a spool of thread on each spool pin. Draw each
threads through upper thread guides. Continue threading
the machine as you would for single needle sewing. Draw
one thread through each needle from front to back and pull
several inches of thread through. Thread bobbin and pick up
bobbin thread as for single needle sewing.

3. THREAD SELECTION
Use mercerized sewing thread size #50 and finer. Machine
embroidery thread is recommended for both upper and
lower threading.

24
4. STITCHING
All decorative patterns are possible with double needle.
Before starting any stitching operation, check needle
drop by turning the handwheel manually. Needle should
enter fabric without touching the presser foot and
needle plate. The stitch width control should not be
advanced beyond 2 ½ setting. (black dot)

5. TURNING A CORNER
To turn a square corner in double needle stitching, stop
stitching with the needle tips just piercing the fabric.
Raise the presser foot, shift fabric half the turn, lower
presser foot and take one stitch. Raise the presser foot
again, complete the turn, and begin stitching in the
new direction.

25
SYNTHETICS
Your KENMORE will sew all the new fabrics of synthetic fiber, such
as nylon, ✴ Orlon, ✴✴ Dacron, rayon, acetate, blends of these, and
combinations of synthetic and natural fibers. When stitching a fabric
of blended or combined fibers, handle it as you would a material of
the fiber present in the largest percentage. For example, a fabric
woven of 60% Orlon and 40% silk should be handled as one made
entirely of Orlon.
When stitching a fabric that is over 50% synthetic fiber, re- member:

a. Select patterns of the loose fitting type with cap or kimono


sleeves, because most synthetic fiber fabrics cannot be eased
with steam pressing, and are not absorbent.
b. Use a synthetic thread.
c. Use a fine needle as recommended in chart on page 5.
d. Wind the bobbin in the usual way, but do not pass thread between
tension discs. Guide thread by hand for a smoothly wound bobbin.
e. Choose the stitch length that gives the most satisfactory seam.
f. Check threads tensions by sewing on a double thickness of the
fabric to be used. Usually the upper thread tension must be
loosened. Sometimes both bobbin and upper thread tension must
be loosened (Page 12, 13).

SEWING ON PLASTIC FILMS


Set the machine with normal thread tensions and a large size stitch.
Use a fine needle and mercerized thread. Hold plastic pieces together
with cellophane tape or paper clips rather than pins. Sew corner
slightly rounded rather than square.

REPLACEMENT OF THE BELT
To replace a worn belt, loosen motor bracket set
bolt and remove belt by reducing the distance
between motor pulley and hand wheel. Install new
built adjust the distance between the motor
pulley and hand wheel. To provide proper tension,
allow the belt to support the weight of the motor
and then firmly tighten the motor bracket set
bolt.

CLEANING AND OILING…………….


Keep the moving parts free from dust and thread
for quiet and efficient operation.

ADJUSTING YOUR SEWING MACHINE FOR GOOD STITCH
When your sewing machine does not sew a properly locked stitch, check the following:
1. Insert a new needle of the correct size for the thread and fabric you are using.
Consult chart on page 5.
2. The upper and bobbin thread should be matched in size and type.
3. Check threading carefully. See page 9.
4. Check the thread tension balance. Use mercerized thread, and a correct size needle for
the fabric you are using. Do not try this test with synthetic thread as it will not break.

Begin with a full bobbin, properly threaded into the case. Set the stitch length at about
12 stitches per inch. Fold a 6” square of your fabric in half diagonally, forming a triangle.
Make a line of stitching ½” from fold.
a. If seam is puckered – both tensions are too tight.
b. If bottom thread lays on the fabric-tighten upper thread tension, and repeat test.
See page 12, Figure 3.
c. If top thread lays on top of fabric-loosen upper thread tension, and repeat test.
See page 12, Figure 2.

Grasp the stitching and pull with a snap to make threads break.
a. If both threads break – tensions are balanced.
b. If neither thread breaks – both tensions are too loose.
c. If upper thread breaks – loosen upper tension.
d. If lower thread breaks – tighten upper tension.
Both threads do not have to break at the same place, but they should break on the same
snap.
Bobbin tension may be reset by the following procedure. Start with a loose bobbin thread
tension. Tighten the spring screw gradually until bobbin case and full bobbin can be
gently lifted from your hand by the end of the bobbin thread.
