Reverse
When reverse is active, the reverse indicator is lit. For
permanent reverse, touch the reverse button once before
starting to sew. The reverse indicator will be lit and the
machine sews in reverse until you touch the button again to
cancel. If you press the reverse button while sewing, the
machine will sew in reverse for as long as you keep the button
pressed.
Reverse is also used when sewing for example manual
buttonholes, darning stitches and tapering stitches to step
between the parts of the stitch.
Start/Stop
Touch the start/stop button to start and stop the machine
sewing or embroidering without using the foot control. Touch
start/stop to begin and touch again to stop.
FIX function
FIX is used to tie off a stitch. Touch the button to turn the
function on/off. The indicator next to the FIX function
button is lit when the FIX function is active. When beginning
to sew with FIX function active, your machine sews a few tie-
off stitches and continues with the selected stitch. Touch FIX
while sewing and your machine sews a few tie-off stitches and
stops automatically.
You can activate automatic FIX in settings, see Automatic
FIX.
STOP function
Touch STOP when sewing to conclude a stitch or stitch
program. Your machine fixes the thread and stops
automatically when the stitch or stitch program has been
completed. Touch STOP before starting to sew and your
machine sews only one repetition of the stitch. Only one
stitch is displayed on the screen. The indicator next to the
STOP button is lit when the STOP function is active. To
cancel the function, touch STOP again or select a new stitch.
The STOP function is cancelled when the stitch is completed.
The STOP function is also used to repeat a sewn length when
sewing tapering, (see Tapering Stitches – Menu Q) and when
sewing manual buttonholes.
Presser Foot Down and Pivot
The presser foot is lowered automatically when you start
sewing. To lower the presser foot before starting to sew,
touch the presser foot down and pivot button. The presser
foot will be completely lowered and the machine firmly holds
the fabric. Touch presser foot down again to go to pivot
position.
In embroidery mode touch presser foot down to lower the
presser foot to embroidery position.
Presser Foot Up and Extra Lift
Touch the presser foot up button once to raise the presser
foot. Touch again and the presser foot will raise to extra lift
position, and the feed teeth will be automatically lowered to
make it easier to get heavy fabric under the presser foot.
In embroidery mode, the extra lift makes it easier to insert or
remove the hoop.
