To sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam guide line on the needle plate. Lower the needle to
the point where you wish to start.
Pull the needle and bobbin threads toward the rear.
Lower the presser foot.
Depress the foot control or press the start/stop button to
start sewing. Gently guide the fabric along the seam guide
line letting the fabric feed naturally.
NOTE:
When you press the start/stop button once, the machine
starts running slowly for the first few stitches, then runs at
the speed set by the speed control slider.
The machine runs slowly as long as you press and hold the
start/stop button.
Sewing on heavy fabric
The black button on foot A will lock the foot in a horizontal
position if you push it in before lowering the presser foot.
This ensures even feeding at the beginning of seams and
helps when sewing many layers of fabric such as sewing
over welt seams when hemming jeans.
When you reach a point of increased thickness, lower the
needle and raise the presser foot. Press the toe of the foot
and push in the black button, then lower the foot and
continue sewing. The button will be released after a few
stitches.
