Sewing Reinforcement Stitches

Reverse/reinforcement stitches are generally necessary at the beginning and end of sewing. You can use the “Reverse Stitch” button to sew reverse/reinforcement stitches.

When you keep pressing the “Reinforcement Stitch” button, the machine will sew reinforcement stitch at that point 3 to 5 stitches, and then stop.

b“Reinforcement Stitch” button

If the automatic reinforcement stitch is selected on the screen, reverse stitches (or reinforcement stitches) will be sewn automatically at the beginning of sewing when the “Start/Stop” button is pressed. Press the “Reverse Stitch” button or “Reinforcement Stitch” button to sew reverse stitches or reinforcement stitches automatically at the end of sewing.

The operation performed when the button is pressed differs depending on the selected pattern. (Refer to the table in “Automatic Reinforcement Stitching” on page S-5.)

Memo

•When you press the “Reinforcement Stitch” button while sewing character/decorative stitch pattern, you can end sewing with a full stitch instead of at a mid-point.

•The green light on the right of the “Reinforcement Stitch” button lights up while the machine is sewing a full motif, and it automatically turns off when the sewing is stopped.

Automatic Reinforcement Stitching

After selecting a stitch pattern, turn on the automatic reinforcement stitching function before sewing, and the machine will automatically sew reinforcement stitches (or reverse stitches, depending on the stitch pattern) at the beginning and end of sewing.
