OPERATING YOUR MACHINE

Machine Operation Controls

The Operation Control buttons are used to operate the machine. Each functionality is listed and described further below.

Reverse Button

The Reverse Button has different functionality depending on what stitch that is selected.
Stitch Menu 1 (stitch no. 1–5) and Stitch Menu 2 (stitch no. 001)
Press and hold the Reverse button to sew in reverse. Release it to resume sewing forward. The machine sews
in reverse only as long as the reverse button is pressed.
Stitch Menu 1 (stitch no. 6–9), Stitch Menu 2 (stitch no. 002–016 & 029–148), Stitch Menu 3 and Stitch
Menu 4
Press the Reverse button and the machine sews 3 tie-off stitches then stops automatically.

Start/Stop

START/STOP is used to run and stop the machine without the foot control. Long press to begin sewing and
press again to stop sewing.

Needle Up/Down

Press Needle Up/Down to move the needle down or up. The setting of the needle stop position is changed at
the same time. You can also tap the foot control to raise or lower needle.
If the "Needle Up/Down setting" (see page 20) is activated, this is indicated by an arrow pointing up or down,
next to the needle on the display.

Tie-Off

When pressed the machine immediately sews three tie-off stitches and stops automatically.
If "Auto Stop" (see page 20) is activated, the machine will complete the current stitch (or program) first, then
tie-off and stop automatically.

Automatic Thread Cutter

Press the Automatic Thread Cutter button and your machine ties off the threads, cuts the top and bobbin
threads.
To cut threads at the end of a stitch or stitch program, press Automatic Thread Cutter while sewing.

Speed Control Lever

All stitches in your sewing machine have a pre-set, recommended sewing speed. You can adjust the speed
using the Speed Control Lever. Slide the lever to the left to decrease the speed and to the right to increase the
speed. You cannot select a higher speed than the default max speed for the selected stitch.
