Starting to sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric edge next
to a seam guide on the needle plate. Lower the needle at
the point where you wish to start.
Pull the needle thread toward the rear.
Lower the presser foot.
NOTE:
Pull the needle thread to the left when using satin
stitch foot F, open-toe satin stitch foot F2, dual feed
foot AD or automatic buttonhole foot R.
Depress the foot control or press the start/stop button to
start sewing.
Gently guide the fabric along the seam guide letting the
fabric feed naturally.

Securing Seams

For fastening the ends of seams, press the reverse
button and sew several reverse stitches.
The machine sews in reverse as long as you press and
hold the reverse button.
q Reverse button
Press the reverse button once when sewing the
lock-a-matic stitch (pattern 02) or locking stitch (pattern
03) and the machine will lock the stitches off and stop
automatically.

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 from extreme edge
of thick fabrics or sewing across a hem.
Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where you
wish to start sewing.
Lower the foot while pushing the black button in. The foot
is locked in the horizontal position to avoid slipping.
