Operation Buttons
a “Start/Stop” button
Press this button and the machine will sew a few stitches at a
slow speed and then begin sewing at the speed set by the
sewing speed controller. Press the button again to stop the
machine. Hold the button in to sew at the machine’s slowest
speed. The button changes color according to the machine’s
operation mode.
b “Reverse Stitch” button
For straight, zigzag, and elastic zigzag stitch patterns that take
reverse stitches, the machine will sew reverse stitches at low
speed only while holding down the “Reverse Stitch” button.
The stitches are sewn in the opposite direction. For other
stitches, use this button to sew reinforcement stitches at the
beginning and end of sewing. Press and hold this button, and
the machine sews 3 stitches in the same spot and stops
automatically. (see page S-5)
c “Reinforcement Stitch” button
Use this button to sew a single stitch repeatedly and tie-off. For
character/decorative stitches, press this button to end with a
full stitch instead of at a mid-point. The LED light beside this
button lights up while the machine is sewing a full motif, and
automatically turns off when the sewing is stopped. (see page
