●
The presser foot to be used with each stitch
appears in the LCD. To select a stitch, refer
to “Selecting a stitch” (page 39).
●
Always turn off the power before you change the presser foot. If you leave the power on and step on the
controller, the machine will start and you may be injured.
●
Always use the correct presser foot for the stitch pattern you have chosen. If you use the wrong presser
foot, the needle may strike the presser foot and bend or break, and may cause injury.
●
Only use presser feet that have been designed to be used with this machine. Using other any presser feet
may cause an accident or injury.
