Advanced Sewing Features

1. Pivoting
The function is useful when changing the sewing direction. The machine stops with the needle lowered (in the
fabric) and the presser foot is automatically raised to an appropriate height when the "Start/Stop" button is pressed.
From the settings screen, the presser foot can be adjusted to one of three heights (3.2 mm, 5.0 mm and 7.5 mm).
Refer to page 4.
2. Free Motion Foot Height
When using the quilting foot "C" or the echo quilting foot "E", the height of the foot can be preset in the settings
screen. Height of the presser foot can be increased for easy fabric guiding when sewing puffy and thick fabrics or
decreased for better control of thin fabrics.
Refer to page 6, 9.
3. Automatic Fabric Sensor System
The thickness of the fabric is automatically detected and the presser foot pressure is automatically adjusted with an
internal sensor while sewing, so the fabric can be fed smoothly. This function is useful for sewing over thick seams,
or quilting with feed dogs raised. The Automatic Fabric Sensor System works continuously while sewing.
Refer to page 5.
