Sewing on Heavy Fabrics
Pressing the black button on Foot A (before lowering)
locks it in a horizontal position. This ensures even
feeding at the beginning of seams and helps when
sewing many layers of fabric. When you reach a point
of increased thickness, lower the needle and raise the
foot. Press in the black button, then lower the foot and
continue sewing. It releases automatically after a few
stitches.
¡
Seam Allowance Lines
The seam guides on the needle plate and hook cover
plate help you measure seam width.
* The number indicates the distance between the
middle needle position and the seam allowance
line.
