Bobbin Thread Indicator
If you use the Low-Bobbin Estimator feature, The Bobbin
Thread Indicator box (Figure 26) shows how much bobbin
thread remains on the bobbin. The value counts down
until it gets to zero, at which time the low-bobbin alarm
alerts you that it is time to put in a new bobbin. While the
machine is recording how much thread is on a bobbin, REC
appears on the screen to remind you that it is estimating
the bobbin capacity.
Up/Down/TieOff
The button with the needle image in the center of the
screen can assist you in creating tieoff stitches, basting
or needle-positioning functions without the use of the
foot pedal (Figure 27). Pressing and releasing the button
quickly will send the needle to the next needle stop
position. If the needle is up, pressing the button will cause
the needle to move to the down position. If the needle is
down, it will return to the up position.
Pressing and holding the button for a longer time allows
you to do a full stitch. As long as you continue to hold the
button down the machine will continue to stitch at a slow
rate, and when the button is released the needle will stop
in the closest stop position (up or down) available. This
action is useful for tieing off beginning and ending stitches.
