For details on starting to sew, refer to “Starting to sew” (page 39).

XTwo lines of stitching are sewn parallel to each other.

Note

●When using the twin needle, the stitches may become bunched together, depending on the types of thread and fabric that are used. If this occurs, increase the stitch length. For details on adjusting the stitch length, refer to “Adjusting the stitch length and width” (page 38).

CAUTION

●When changing the sewing direction, be sure to raise the needle from the fabric, and then raise the presser foot lever and turn the fabric. Otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.
