FUNCTIONS PANEL
1. STOP
STOP is used to conclude a stitch or to sew just one unit of
the stitch. Your sewing machine ties off the thread and stops
automatically when one stitch unit or stitch program has been
completed. The LED next to STOP is lit when the function is
activated. STOP is cancelled once you have used the function.
Press again if you wish to activate it once more.
STOP is also used to repeat the same size darning, bartack and
Automatic Tapering stitch with the same size.
Tip: If you want to repeat the STOP function for a stitch unit several
times in a row you can save the stitch with a STOP at the end in a
program (see Programming, page 22).
2. FIX
By using the FIX function you can lock the stitch at the
beginning and/or at the end. The LED next to FIX is lit when
FIX is activated. Press FIX to turn off the function.
The FIX function is automatically activated when a stitch is
selected or when STOP or the Thread Cutter has been used.
You can turn off the automatic FIX function in the SET
Menu, see page 25.
The FIX function can be programmed (see page 23).
3. Thread Cutter
Press the Thread Cutter and your machine ties off the threads
and cuts the top and bottom threads and activates the FIX
function for the next start. To cut threads at the end of a
stitch or stitch program, press the Thread Cutter while sewing.
The LED next to the Thread Cutter starts flashing indicating
that a cut is requested. When the stitch or stitch program is
completed, the upper thread and bobbin will be cut and the
thread ends are automatically pulled to the underside of the
fabric.
The Thread Cutter function can be programmed (see page 23).
