Sewing Reinforcement Stitches

Reverse/reinforcement stitches are generally necessary at the beginning and end of sewing. You can use “Reverse/ Reinforcement Stitch” button to sew reverse/reinforcement stitches manually (see page 1-3).

On the screen if the automatic reinforcement stitch key is selected, reverse stitches (or reinforcement stitches) will be sewn automatically at the start of sewing when press- ing the “Start/Stop” button. Press the “Reverse/Reinforce- ment Stitch” button to sew reverse stitches (or reinforce- ment stitches) automatically at the finish of the sewing (see page 2-14).

When edge stitching a short stitch length and close to the edge of the fabric, the presser foot may not cover enough fabric for proper feeding.
