KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE—————

CAUTION

●After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.

●If the stitches are bunched together, increase the stitch length. Continuing to sew with the stitches bunched together may result in the needle bending or breaking.

Reverse sewing lever

You can use reverse sewing for back tacking and reinforcing seams.

To sew in reverse, push the reverse sewing lever in as far as possible and hold it in that position while you lightly push the foot controller. To sew forward, release the reverse sewing lever. The machine will then sew forward.

Feed dog position switch

Use the feed dog position switch to raise or lower the feed dogs according to the job that is being done. When darning or sewing on buttons, the feed dogs should be lowered. (The garment will not be fed.)

Note

●When raising or lowering the feed dogs, move the feed dog position switch as far as possible to the appropriate side. Since the feed dogs can not be lowered using the feed dog position switch immediately after they are raised, turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) once and after the feed dogs are raised, lower them using the feed dog position switch.
