If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric does not feed at the beginning of stitching

The fabric may not feed when thick seams are being sewn and the presser foot is not level, as shown below. In this case, use the presser foot locking pin (black button on the left side of zigzag foot “J”) so that the presser foot remains level while sewing, allowing the fabric to be fed smoothly.

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 28).
