When free motion sewing is finished,
move the drop feed knob back to the left
side.
The feed dog will be up and engaged at the same time
as the machine starts to sew.
● How to lock stitches
1. At sewing start, pull up the bobbin thread on the top layer of the fabric, hold both needle and bobbin
threads together and sew 3 stitches on the same point. After that move fabrics as you wish.
In this way, stitches on the wrong side of the fabrics look neat.
2. At sewing-end sew 3 stitches on the same point and stop.
● How to sew stitches with the same stitch length
1. When the foot controller is used, the fabrics can be guided by both hands and you can move the fabrics
freely.
2. Set the speed controller to medium or medium low first, press the foot controller completely and move
the fabrics.
-- if stitches become too large, set the speed controller to “faster”
-- if stitches become too small, set the speed controller to “slower”.
Tips
When doing the free motion with zigzag stitch, use the quilt presser foot (transparent type)
which is optionally available from your dealer.
