Pivoting - Brother 882-W01 Operation Manual

USEFUL FUNCTIONS

Pivoting

If the pivot setting is selected, the machine stops
with the needle lowered (in the fabric) and the
presser foot is automatically raised to an
appropriate height when the "Start/Stop" button is
pressed. When the "Start/Stop" button is pressed
again, the presser foot is automatically lowered
and sewing continues. This function is useful for
stopping the machine to rotate the fabric.
• When the pivot setting is selected, the
machine starts when the "Start/Stop" button is
pressed or the foot controller is pressed down
even if the presser foot has been raised. Be
sure to keep your hands and other items away
from the needle, otherwise injuries may occur.
Memo
• When the pivot setting is selected, the
height of the presser foot when sewing is
stopped can be changed according to the
type of fabric being sewn. Press
display "Pivoting Height" on 2/7 of the set-
tings screen. Press
one of the three heights (3.2 mm, 5.0 mm or
7.5 mm). To raise the presser foot further,
increase the setting. (Normally, 3.2 mm is
set.)
