a "Start/Stop" button
Press this button and the machine will sew a few stitches at a
slow speed and then begin sewing at the speed set by the
sewing speed controller. Press the button again to stop the
machine. Hold the button in to sew at the machine's slowest
speed. The button changes color according to the machine's
operation mode.
Green:
The machine is ready to sew or is sewing.
Red:
The machine cannot sew.
b "Reverse Stitch" button
For straight, zigzag, and elastic zigzag stitch patterns that take
reverse stitches, the machine will sew reverse stitches at low
speed only while holding down the "Reverse Stitch" button.
The stitches are sewn in the opposite position.
For other stitches, use this button to sew reinforcement
stitches at the beginning and end of sewing. Press and hold
this button, and the machine sews 3 stitches in the same spot
and stops automatically. (page 66)
c "Reinforcement Stitch" button
Use this button to sew a single stitch repeatedly and tie-off.
For character/decorative stitches, press this button to end with
a full stitch instead of at a mid-point. The LED light beside this
button lights up while the machine is sewing a full motif, and
automatically turns off when the sewing is stopped. (page 66)
In addition, use this button to sew reinforcement stitches
before cutting the thread when changing the bobbin thread in
embroidery mode. This will prevent stitches from unraveling.

sewing in small areas. Press this button to raise or lower the
needle position. With this button, you can lower and raise the
needle to sew a single stitch.

thread.
