SEWING

Sewing Heavyweight Fabrics

The sewing machine can sew fabrics up to 6 mm (approx. 1/4 inch) thick. If the thickness of a seam causes sewing to occur at an angle, help guide the fabric by hand and sew on the downward slope.

CAUTION

Do not forcefully push fabrics more than

6 mm (approx. 1/4 inch) thick through the sewing machine. This may cause the needle to break and cause injury.

If the Fabric does not Fit under the Presser Foot

If the presser foot is in the up position, and you are sewing heavyweight or multiple layers of fabric which do not fit easily under the presser foot, use the presser foot lever to raise the presser foot to its highest position. The fabric will now fit under the presser foot.

Memo

You cannot use the presser foot lever after the presser foot has been raised using the “Presser Foot Lifter” button.

If the Fabric does not Feed at the Beginning of Stitching

If the fabric does not feed when starting to sew or when sewing thick seams, press the black button on the left side of presser foot “J”.

aRaise the presser foot.

bWhile keeping the black button on the left side of presser foot “J” pressed in, press the “Presser Foot Lifter” button to lower the presser foot.

cRelease the button.

The presser foot remains level, enabling the fabric to be fed.

Memo

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

Sewing Lightweight Fabrics

Place thin paper or tear away embroidery stabilizer under thin fabrics to make sewing easier. Gently tear off the paper or the stabilizer after sewing.
