Rotate the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) to check that the needle
goes into each hole correctly.
* If the needle does not reach the holes on the left
side, adjust the stitch width.
* To attach the button more securely, repeat the
process.
Memo
• If automatic thread cutting is turned on
before you start sewing, both threads are
automatically cut after the reinforcement
stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed
(for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.
