On behalf of expertvillage.com, I am Neal Jones with A Perfect Fit Alterations and we are on 102 Main Street in Burleson, Texas, our phone number 447-3522 with area code of 817. We’re going to start on the machine, we’re going to go the top of the machine so that we can work from the top down and then around the sides. We open the lid of the machine and inside here starting at this end, we’ve got the bobbin winding mechanism and then we have the various feet, now the feet here are marked with letters, the foot has a corresponding letter on it which all ties in with the plan that we have on top of the lid that tells you what foot to use with what pattern. We have the thread support pins, there are actually two of them because at this machine you’ll be able to use two spools of thread for particular purposes. We’ve got a disk here which holds the thread onto the spool pin, right over here we have an adjustment for the upper tension for the thread. We have a little spring loaded disk here which will put a little bit of tension on the thread so that it won’t get tangled. We’ve got a bobbin winding pressure disk and we have an adjustment for the pressure foot and coming up to the top here we have a diagram which explains the particular pattern that we would be using and tells us which foot to use and the way to use that pattern.
