Select the stitch appropriate for the area

g

to be sewn.

For details on selecting a stitch, refer to

"Pattern selection dial" (see page 11).

Memo

● When using a twin needle, be sure to use a

stitch width of 3 or less.

CAUTION

●

After selecting a stitch, 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.

Start sewing.

For details, refer to "Starting sewing" on

page 23.



Two lines of stitching are sewn parallel to

each other.

CAUTION

●

When changing the sewing direction, be

sure to raise the needle from the fabric,

and then raise the presser foot lever and

turn the fabric. Otherwise the needle

may break or the machine may be

damaged.

The tension of the thread will affect the quality of your

stitches. You may need to adjust it when you change

fabric or thread.

Memo

● We recommend that you do a test sample

on scrap of a fabric before you start to sew.

■ Correct tension

Correct tension is important as too much or too little

tension will weaken your seams or cause puckers

on your fabric.

■ Upper tension is too tight

Loops will appear on the surface of the fabric.

Note

● If the bobbin thread was incorrectly

threaded, the upper thread may be too tight.

In this case, refer to "Lower threading" on

page 15 and rethread the bobbin thread.
