Placing Fabric Under Foot
Most fabrics can be placed under the foot by raising the
presser foot lifter A to its normal up position 1, where it locks.
When using bulky fabric, multiple fabric layers, or an embroi
dery hoop, raise the presser foot lifter to the high rise position
2, thus increasing the space between foot and needle plate.
Hold presser foot lifter in position while placing fabric under
the presser foot.
• Lower presser foot lifter all the way down and start to sew.
Sewing with a Newly Wound Bobbin
When starting to stitch at the fabric edge:
• Position needle in very edge of fabric, by turning the hand
wheel
toward you.
• Lower the presser foot and stitch. Thread will lock over
fabric edge.
OR
When starting to stitch away from fabric edge:
• Leave presser foot in its upper position.
• Pull thread back under presser foot and cut.
• Position needle in from fabric edge, then lower the presser
foot and stitch.
Backstitch to lock stitching by pressing the reverse button
while sewing. Only a few stitches are needed to lock stitching
line in place. Do
not
go over edge of fabric.
