BASIC SEWING
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.
