Sewing from the Edge of Thick Fabric

The black button on the zigzag foot locks the foot in the
horizontal position.
This is helpful when you start sewing at the extreme edge
of thick fabrics or for sewing across a hem.
Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where you
want to start sewing.
Lower the foot while pushing in the black button. The foot
is locked in the horizontal position to avoid slipping.
After a few stitches, the black button is released
automatically.

Changing Sewing Direction

Stop the machine and raise the presser foot lifter to raise
the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change the sewing
direction as desired.
Start sewing in a new direction.

Turning a Square Corner

To maintain a 5/8˝ seam allowance after turning a square
corner, use the cornering guide on the needle plate.
Stop sewing when the front edge of fabric reaches the
cornering guide lines.
Raise the presser foot and turn the fabric 90 degrees.
Start sewing in the new direction.
