- Touch the “ ” key to display the next part of the procedure.
- Touch the “CLOSE” key to return to the original screen.
42
Sewing corners
Keep the needle at the corner of the fabric, then raise the presser foot and turn the fabric.
For short stitches which are less than 0.5 cm (3/16")
Before you begin to sew, set a basting thread at the corner point. When you change direction at the corner, start sewing as you pull the basting thread backward.
Sewing thick seams
When the foot angles up at the approach of a thick seam, lower the needle and raise the presser foot. Level the presser foot by placing a "shim" (folded fabric or cardboard) under the back of the presser foot. Lower presser foot and continue stitching.
Sewing curves
Sewing a curve with a straight stitch
Sew slowly, while keeping the seams parallel with the fabric edge as you guide the fabric around the curve.
43
5
6
Sewing a curve with a zigzag stitch
Set the stitch length short in order to obtain a fine stitch. Sew slowly while keeping the seams parallel with the fabric edge as you guide the fabric around the curve.
- For sharp corners, temporarily stop sewing while keeping the needle in the material, then raise the presser foot and carefully turn the fabric while keeping it level with the presser foot. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing.
Sewing thick fabric
- When you raise the presser foot lever further, the presser foot is raised to a higher position to handle thicker fabrics. With the presser foot in the up position, raise the presser foot lever higher to make room for thicker fabrics.
- If the fabric will not feed at the beginning of sewing, place another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back of the material.
- Using a straight stitch foot (optional accessory item SA108 or X80823001) will stop the fabric lifting up and down as the needle pierces very thick fabrics. Remember that this foot is only to be used with the straight stitch in the center needle position.
Sewing thin fabric
Place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric, and then start sewing.
- Use a straight stitch foot (optional accessory item SA108 or X80823001) to eliminate any puckering. Remember to select the center needle position. Additional adjustment of stitch length and tension may be necessary.

ADAPTER FOR LOW SHANK ATTACHMENTS
This adapter is used for attaching screw-on presser feet to this machine. Following is explanation about installation of walking foot.
I ncluded accessories
❶ Adapter ❷ Screw (small) * ❸ Screw (large) **
I nstallation of walking foot
This foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These materials are difficult to be fed when sewing but this foot can prevent such materials from crumpling, slipping or sticking between presser foot and materials thanks to even feeding upper and lower materials.
You can use walking foot only for sewing STRAIGHT STITCH ( : ) and ZIGZAG STITCH ( ).
You can not use this foot for sewing other patterns including horizontal feed (STRAIGHT & ZIGZAG STITCH).
- Remove the presser foot and the presser foot holder.
- Attach the adapter for low shank attachments.
- Push the adapter up onto the end of the presser bar as far as possible.
- Use the metal disk provided with your machine (accessory #14 on page 7) or screw driver to tighten the screw (small) firmly.
- When attaching the adapter, be sure to use the metal disk or screw driver to tighten the screw firmly. If the screw is not completely tightened, injuries may occur.
- Fix the connecting lever of Walking foot to the needle fixing screw and install Walking foot onto the presser bar. Lower the presser foot and tighten the presser foot holder screw (large).
** Before sewing, be sure to turn the balance wheel toward you slowly to check that the needle does not touch the presser foot, otherwise injuries may occur. Please sew with slow to medium speed.
