Sewing on heavy fabrics
Fabric
Black button
The black button _ on foot A will lock the foot in a horizon-
tal position if you push it in before lowering the presser foot.
This ensures even feeding at the beginning of seams and
helps when sewing many layers of fabric such as sewing
over welt seams when hemming jeans.
When you reach the point of an increased thickness, lower
the needle and raise the presser foot. Press down on the
toe of the foot and push in the black button _, then lower
the foot and continue sewing.
This button releases automatically after a few stitches.
Manual stitch length
Press "-" or "+" to adjust the stitch length.
To decrease length, press "-".
To increase length, press "+".
The pre-programmed stitch length setting is suitable for
most of your sewing needs. However, you can change
these settings to accommodate different fabric
characteristics or achieve a desired effect. Hold down "-"
or "+" until you reach the desired setting.
* The reverse stitch length cannot be set longer than
1/8" (0.3 cm)
