FUNCTION PANEL
1. STOP
STOP is used to conclude a stitch or to sew just one unit of
the stitch. Your sewing machine ties off the thread and stops
automatically when one stitch unit or stitch program has
been completed. STOP is cancelled once you have used the
function. Press again if you wish to activate it once more.
When activated, a STOP icon is visible on the GraphicDisplay.
STOP is also used to repeat the same size darning and bartack
stitch.
Tip: If you want to repeat the STOP function for a stitch unit several
times in a row you can save the stitch with a STOP at the end in a
program (see Programming, page 28).
2. FIX
By using the FIX function you can lock the stitch at the
beginning and/or at the end. Press FIX again to turn off the
function.
When activated, a FIX icon is visible on the GraphicDisplay.
The FIX function is automatically activated when a stitch is
selected or when STOP has been used. You can turn off the
automatic FIX function in the SET Menu, see page 31.
The FIX function can be programmed (see page 28).
3. Needle Stop Up/Down
Press Needle Stop Up/Down to move the needle down or up.
The setting of the needle stop position is changed at the same
time.
An arrow pointing up or down, next to the needle on the
GraphicDisplay indicates if Needle Stop Up or Needle Stop
Down is selected.
You can also tap the foot control to raise or lower needle.

4. SPEED
All stitches in your sewing machine have a pre-set,
recommended sewing speed. Press SPEED + or SPEED – to
increase or decrease the sewing speed. There are five speed
levels. The speed level is shown on the GraphicDisplay. You
cannot select a higher speed than the default max speed for
the selected stitch.
5. START/STOP
Press START/STOP to run and stop the machine without the
foot control. Press once to begin sewing and press again to
stop sewing.
6. Reverse
Press Reverse while sewing and the machine will sew in
reverse until released. Then your sewing machine will sew
forward. For permanent reverse, press Reverse once before
starting to sew. Your sewing machine sews in reverse until you
press Reverse again.
When activated, a reverse icon is visible on the
GraphicDisplay.
Reverse is also used when sewing buttonholes, bartacks and
darning to step between the parts of the stitch.
