6. CHECKING THE SEWING PATTERN
You can check the sewing pattern which has been programmed, and also the needle zigzagging and feed
operation. Checking can be carried out using test feed mode, or by turning the machine pulley by hand in
manual mode. These two modes can also be combined in order to carry out checking.

6-1. Test feed mode (for checking the sewing pattern without turning the

machine pulley by hand)

1. Press the SELECT key (13) to change the mode to automatic mode. Use the program No. keys (7) and
(8) to select the number for the program to be checked, and then press the ENTER key (17).
(The program number will stop flashing.)
2. Press the SELECT key (13) to change the mode to test feed mode.
("H***" and the number of stitches in the selected program will appear in the parameter display LED (14).)
3. Depress the treadle from the neutral position [A] to the 2nd step [C].
(The work clamp will drop.)
4. Return the treadle to the neutral position [A], and then depress it once more to the 2nd step [C]. The
needle zigzag and feed mechanisms will each advance by one step while the treadle is being depressed.
In addition, the needle zigzag and feed mechanisms will also advance by one step if you press the
parameter UP key (15).
The needle zigzag and feed mechanisms will also retreat by one step if you press the parameter DOWN
key (16).
(If the knife has been set to operate, the buzzer will sound and "C-On" will appear.)
5. "Ho" will appear in the parameter display LED (14), and the machine will stop at the final stitch position.
6. Return the treadle to the neutral position [A], and then depress it to the 2nd step [C]. The sewing machine
will move to the home position, and the work clamp will rise.
7. Press the SELECT key (13) to change the mode to automatic mode.
•If you press the SELECT key (13) during the checking operation, the mode will change to manual
mode. If you press the SELECT key (13) once more, the mode will change back to test feed mode.
•If you would like to stop checking before the operation has completed, press the RESET key (3). The
sewing machine will move to the home position, and the work clamp will move to the neutral position.
