• For details, refer to “Selecting stitching” (page
51).
fPlace one hand on each side of the presser
foot, and then evenly guide the fabric while
sewing.
Note
zWhen sewing with the walking foot, sew at a
speed between slow and medium.
zWhen quilting, use a 90/14 home sewing
machine needle.
●Be sure to securely tighten the screws
with the screwdriver, otherwise the
needle may touch the presser foot,
causing it to bend or break.
●Before starting to sew, 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.
