Starting to sew

Raise presser foot and position the fabric next to a seam 

guide line on the needle plate. Lower the needle to the 

point where you want to start.
Pull the thread toward the rear and lower the presser 

foot.
Press the start/stop button or depress the foot control to 

start sewing. 

Gently guide the fabric along a seam guide line letting 

the fabric feed naturally.

Changing Sewing Direction

Stop the machine.

Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change the sewing 

direction as desired.
Lower the foot and start sewing in a new direction.

Sewing from the Edge of Thick Fabric

The black button on the zigzag foot locks the foot in the 

horizontal position.

This is helpful when starting sewing from the far edge of 

thick fabrics or sewing across a hem.

Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where you 

wish to start sewing.

Lower the foot while pushing the black button in. The foot 

is locked in the horizontal position to avoid slipping.

The button is released automatically after sewing a few 

stitches.

NOTE:

When sewing with the satin stitch foot F or buttonhole 

foot R, pull the thread to the left to hold the thread.

NOTE:

Lower the needle by pressing needle up/down button 

if the needle stop position is set at up position.
