Automatic Needle Threader
See Using the Automatic Needle Threader, page 35 to learn
how to place the thread for automatic needle threading. When
the thread is in place, touch this button to thread the needle
automatically.
To prevent damage to the automatic needle threader, needle,
presser foot or other attached accessories, read the instructions
carefully on how to use the automatic needle threader before
using it.
Stitch Re-Start
When you stop sewing in the middle of a stitch, touch stitch
re-start to begin sewing at the beginning of the stitch. The
stitch or stitch program will remember any special settings
you made.
Speed – and +
All stitches and embroideries in your machine have a pre-set,
maximum allowed sewing speed to provide a good stitch
result.
Touch speed – to decrease the maximum allowed sewing
speed. Touch speed + to increase the maximum allowed
speed again. The machine will never sew faster than the
maximum allowed sewing speed for the selected stitch/
embroidery. Touch speed – or + when the machine is not
running and a pop-up on the screen will indicate the speed
setting. You can set the speed by touching the slider in the
pop-up or by touching the speed – or + buttons. If you
change the speed setting while sewing no pop-up will appear.
Needle Stop Up/Down
Touch needle stop up/down to set the position of the needle
when you stop sewing. The needle will move up or down
when you touch the button. The indicator light is on when
needle stop down is set.
Tip: You can also tap the foot control to raise or lower the needle once
you stop sewing. Tapping the foot control does not change the set stop
position.
Cut Function
Touch the cut function button and your machine cuts the
upper and bobbin threads, raises the presser foot and needle,
and activates the FIX function for the next start.
To cut threads at the end of a stitch or stitch program, touch
the cut function button while sewing. The indicator light will
flash, alerting you that a cut is requested. When the stitch or
stitch program is completed, your machine cuts the upper and
bobbin threads, raises the presser foot and needle, and
activates the FIX function for the next start.
Note: If automatic FIX and selective presser foot lift has been deselected
in temporary sewing settings, FIX function will not be activated and
presser foot will not be raised when using the cut function.
Touch the cut function button when embroidering and your
machine cuts the upper and bobbin threads instantly.
Some optional accessories are attached in the two small
circular holes in the needle plate just above the bobbin cover.
Do not use the cut function when an accessory is attached in
these holes as that may interfere with the automatic thread
cutter located under the needle plate.
