Changing Sewing Direction; Sewing Heavyweight Fabric; Sewing Lightweight Fabric; Sewing A Seam Allowance Of 0.5 Cm Or Less - Brother NX-2000 Operation Manual

Changing Sewing Direction

Stop the machine with the needle in the fabric at the
point where you want to change the sewing direction,
and then raise the presser foot lever. Using the needle
as a pivot, turn the fabric, lower the presser foot lever,
and then continue sewing.
The pivot setting is useful when changing the sewing
direction. When the machine is stopped at the corner of
the fabric, the machine stops with the needle in the
fabric and the presser foot is automatically raised so the
fabric can easily be rotated (see "Pivoting" on page 45).

Sewing a Seam Allowance of 0.5 cm or Less

Baste the corner before sewing, and then, after
changing the sewing direction at the corner, pull the
basting thread toward the back while sewing.

Sewing Heavyweight Fabric

If the Fabric Does Not Fit under the Presser
Foot
The presser foot lever can be raised to two different
positions. If the fabric is too thick to fit under the
presser foot, raise the presser foot lever to its highest
position so that the fabric can be placed under the
presser foot.

If the Fabric Does Not Feed

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".

While keeping the black button on the left
side of presser foot "J" pressed in, lower the
presser foot lever.
* The presser foot remains level, enabling the fabric to be
fed. Once the trouble spot has been sewn, the presser foot
will return to its normal operation.
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.
Memo
When "AUTOMATIC FABRIC SENSOR SYSTEM" in
the machine settings screen is set to "ON", the
thickness of the fabric is automatically detected by the
internal sensor so the fabric can be fed smoothly for
best sewing results.(See page 46 for details.)

Sewing Lightweight Fabric

Iron the fabric with starch or place thin paper or tear
away stabilizer under thin fabrics to make sewing
easier. Gently tear off the paper or the stabilizer after
sewing.
