Pivoting

If the pivot setting is selected, 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. When the "Start/Stop"
button is pressed again, the presser foot is automatically
lowered and sewing continues. This function is useful

starts when the "Start/Stop" button is pressed or
the foot controller is pressed down even if the
presser foot has been raised. Be sure to keep your
hands and other items away from the needle,
otherwise injuries may occur.
