Sewing thick fabrics
■
If the fabric does not fit under the presser foot
If the fabric does not fit easily under the presser foot, raise
the presser foot lever even higher to bring the presser foot
to its highest position.
■
If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric
does not feed at the beginning of stitching
The fabric may not feed when thick seams are being sewn
and the presser foot is not level, as shown below. In this
case, use the presser foot locking pin (black button on the
left side of zigzag foot “J” so that the presser foot remains
level while sewing, allowing the fabric to be fed smoothly.

The presser foot remains level, allowing the fabric to
be fed.

After the seam is sewn, the presser foot will return to
its original angle.
Sewing thin fabrics
When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become
misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly. Move the
needle (be sure to use a fine needle) to the furthest left or right
hand position so that the fabric does not get pulled down into
the feed dog area. If this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer
material under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric.
When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess paper.

Memo
• You may find adjusting the “Presser Foot
Pressure” in the settings screen helpful on some
thick fabrics.
• (For models equipped with Automatic Fabric
Sensor System)
When “Automatic Fabric Sensor System” in the
settings screen is set to “ON”, the thickness of the
fabric is automatically detected by the internal
sensor so the fabric can be fed smoothly for best
sewing results. For details on the automatic fabric
sensor system, refer to “Automatic Fabric Sensor
System (Automatic presser foot pressure)” in the
“Basic operations” section.
CAUTION
• If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch) thick is
sewn or if the fabric is pushed with too much
force, the needle may bend or break.
