beginning and end of each character.
• When sewing is completed, trim any excess
thread between letters.
Note
• When sewing some patterns, the needle will
temporarily pause in the raised position while the
fabric is fed due to the operation of the needle
bar separation mechanism which is used in this
machine. At such times, a clicking sound
different from the sound generated during
sewing will be heard. This sound is normal and is
not the sign of a malfunction.
