Free Motion Floating
Select free motion floating to use floating feet, e.g. the R-
Foot. The feed teeth will lower automatically.
When sewing at low speed the presser foot will raise and
lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate
while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed, the presser
foot floats over the fabric while sewing. The fabric must be
moved manually.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down
with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser
foot height will reduce the space between the presser foot
and the fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches.
Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much. The
fabric must still move freely under the presser foot.
To adjust the presser foot height in free motion floating
mode, touch the presser foot height control to make
adjustments.
Note: If free motion floating is activated, do not use a spring action foot,
as this might damage the presser foot.
Note: Activate stitch width safety if the presser foot requires it.
Tip: There are optional free motion floating feet that can be purchased
at your local authorized retailer.

Tie-Off Options

These options allow you program tie-off at the beginning and
at the end of a stitch. It is also possible to program thread cut
at the end of a stitch.
When touching the tie-off icon, three options open to let you
select different functions; tie-off beginning, tie-off end and
thread cut.
Your settings are shown under active features.
Note: For immediate tie-off, use the tie-off button, found on the front of
the machine.
