FREE-MOTION TECHNIQUE
When touching the Free-Motion Technique icon a pop-up
will appear allowing you to choose between two options: Free
Motion Floating and Free Motion Spring Action.
Free-Motion Floating
Activate to set the machine in Free-Motion Floating mode for
presser foot R. The feed teeth will lower automatically.
When sewing free-motion at low speed the presser foot will
raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the
needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed,
the presser foot
Á oats over the fabric while sewing. The fabric
must be moved manually.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down
with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser foot
height will reduce the space between the presser foot and the
fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches.
Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much. The
fabric must still move freely under the presser foot.
To adjust the presser foot height in Free-Motion Floating
mode, touch the Presser Foot height control to make
adjustments.
Free-Motion Spring Action
Select Free-Motion Spring Action to activate the Free motion
spring action mode. The feed teeth will lower automatically. A
spring action foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold
the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed.
The fabric must be moved manually.
If you are using the Sensor Q-foot activate Free-Motion
Spring Action and Stitch Width Safety.
Note: The Open Toe Free-Motion Spring foot and the Sensor Q-foot are
optional and can be purchased at your local authorized dealer. Do not
use if Free-Motion Floating is selected, to prevent damage to the presser
foot.
RAISE AND LOWER THE PRESSER FOOT
The Sensor Foot Up and Extra Lift raises the presser foot.
The Sensor Foot Down and Pivot lowers the presser foot.
To lower the presser foot, place the fabric under the presser
foot and press the Sensor Foot Down and Pivot button or
step on the foot control. To raise the presser foot, press the
Sensor Foot Up and Extra Lift or press the Selective Thread
Cutter to cut needle and bobbin thread and raise the foot.
When the needle stops in the down position, the presser foot
raises to pivot position.
You can also lower the presser foot and the needle with your
foot control. If you tap your foot control once you will lower
the presser foot. If you tap the foot control twice the needle
will be lowered into the fabric.
Note: With Needle Stop Down selected: when you stop sewing and touch
Sensor Foot Up the foot will raise but the needle stays in the fabric.
Touch Sensor Foot Up again to raise the needle.
