Bar Tacks - Baby Lock Solaris 2 Instruction And Reference Manual

SEWING THE STITCHES
c
Check that the needle drops at the desired
position and lower the presser foot, making
sure the upper thread passes underneath
the buttonhole foot.
Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Set the presser foot so that there is no gap
behind the section marked with an "A+" (the
shaded area in the illustration below). If
there is a gap, the size of the darning will
not be correct.
d
Gently hold the end of the upper thread,
and then press the "Start/Stop" button to
start the machine.
 Once sewing is completed, the machine
automatically sews reinforcement stitches, and then
stops.
Memo
• If automatic thread cutting is turned on
before you start sewing, both threads are
automatically cut after the reinforcement
stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed
(for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.
