aBlack button

cRelease the button. The foot will lock in place level with the seam, allowing the fabric to feed.

•Once the trouble spot has been passed, the foot will return to its normal position.

CAUTION

●If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch) thick is sewn or if the fabric is pushed with too much force, the needle may bend or break.

Sewing hook-and-loop fastener

CAUTION

●Use only the ungummed hook-and-loop fastener which is for sewing. If the glue is attached to the needle or the bobbin hook race, it may cause malfunction.

●If the hook-and-loop fastener is sewn with the thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may bend or break.

Note

●Before start sewing, baste together the fabric and the hook-and-loop fastener.

Make sure that the needle passes through the hook- and-loop fastener by turning the handwheel and lower the needle into the hook-and-loop fastener before sewing. And then, sew the edge of the hook- and-loop fastener at a slow speed.

If the needle does not pass through the hook-and- loop fastener, replace the needle with the needle for thick fabrics (page 20).
