After sewing, make sure to remove the
straight stitch needle plate and presser foot
"C", and reinstall the regular needle plate
and the needle plate cover.
Note
• Free motion open toe quilting foot "O" can
also be used with the straight stitch needle
plate. We recommend using free motion
open toe quilting foot "O" with free motion
sewing of fabrics of uneven thicknesses.
• When using the straight stitch needle plate,
all straight stitches become middle needle
position stitches. You cannot change the
needle position using the width display.
Memo
• Normally, the feed dogs are raised for
regular sewing.
• Do not be discouraged with your initial
results. The technique requires practice.
