cannot be started smoothly. In such case,
set as follows.
1. Raise the presser foot.
2. Push the lock button located on the right
side of regular foot and lower the foot.
3. Start sewing.
As presser foot hinge is locked, fabric will
be feeded smoothly.
A. The presser bar lifter can be raised 1 step
higher for placing heavy materials under
the presser foot easily.

The figure on each guide line on the stitch
plate indicates the distance between this guide
line and the center needle position. Guide the
fabric along the specific guide line in order to
get the desired seam allowance between the
stitching and the edge of the fabric.
