Sewing Heavyweight Fabrics

The sewing machine can sew fabrics up to 6 mm
(approx. 1/4 inch) thick. If the thickness of a seam
causes sewing to occur at an angle, help guide the
fabric by hand and sew on the downward slope.
CAUTION
• Do not forcefully push fabrics more than
6 mm (approx. 1/4 inch) thick through the
sewing machine. This may cause the needle to
break and cause injury.
■ If the Fabric does not Fit under the
Presser Foot
If the presser foot is in the up position, and you are
sewing heavyweight or multiple layers of fabric
which do not fit easily under the presser foot, use
the presser foot lever to raise the presser foot to its
highest position. The fabric will now fit under the
presser foot.
Memo
You cannot use the presser foot lever after the
presser foot has been raised using the
"Presser Foot Lifter" button.
■ If the Fabric does not Feed at the
Beginning of Stitching
If the fabric does not feed when starting to sew or
when sewing thick seams, press the black button on
the left side of presser foot "J".
a

b
While keeping the black button on the left
side of presser foot "J" pressed in, press the
"Presser Foot Lifter" button to lower the
presser foot.
c

be fed.
Memo
Once the trouble spot has been passed, the
foot will return to its normal position.
