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

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

CAUTION

zIf 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.

CAUTION

zUse 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.

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

Note

zBefore 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 39).

Sewing thin fabrics

When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly.

If this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric. When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess paper.
