When no trimming is desired, as when stitching on a fold, flip the
cutting blade lock switch clockwise to the LOCK position. The
cutting blade no longer moves up and down, but remains in its
lowered position. To re-engage the cutting blade, turn the cutting
blade lock switch half of a turn counter-clockwise. The blade will
start moving automatically when you start sewing.
The presser foot pressure has been preset at the factory and
rarely needs adjustment. You may find it necessary, however, to
decrease the pressure for thick fabrics or increase pressure for
thin fabrics to feed more smoothly under the foot. Use a coin to
turn the screw on top of the machine.
To increase pressure, turn the pressure adjusting screw clock-
wise.
To decrease pressure, turn the screw counterclockwise.
The
Imagine Wave
has the convenience of a snap-on presser foot.

The presser foot that comes with the

has a tape
sewing slot. Insert the tape or ribbon, into the slot in the front of the

tion)
The raised markings on the toe of the foot are seam line guides.
They indicate the needle positions to help guide your fabric for
accurate seaming.
