153 QE/163 secures in three ways:
1 – Select stitch #3 and sew a few stitches. Press the Quick Reverse button located on the front
of the sewing machine and the machine will sew in reverse until the button is released. Continue
stitching the seam and secure the end in the same manner.
2 – Select stitch #5 and stitch. The machine will automatically reverse after five stitches, then
continue in a forward motion. Stitch to the end of the seam, then press and release the Quick
Reverse button. The machine will stitch backward five stitches, and then continue forward again
five stitches and stop.
3 – Select stitch #23 on the 153QE or #21 on the 163. Engage the Securing function to put a
securing stitch at the beginning and the end of each pattern repeat. In regular sewing, turn the
Securing function off after the first stitch and back on again after the last stitch is taken.
