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.
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.
