4.6 Threading the reinforcement tape
The reinforcement tape is used to reinforce the seam and support
ruffling. The reinforcement tape can be fed in 2 ways:
• Tape feeder at the top (at the machine head)
• Tape feeder at the bottom (under the tabletop)
The machine is equipped with either type of tape feeder. If fed
from the top, the reinforcement tape is sewn on top of the material.
If fed from the bottom, the reinforcement tape is sewn under the
material.
