• Use a light to medium weight homespun
fabric with a little stiffness.
• The “Automatic Threading” button cannot be
used. Thread the wing needle by hand, from
front to back. Using the “Automatic
Threading” button may result in damage to the
machine.
• A more attractive finish can be obtained if you
use a “130/705H Wing” needle when sewing
these stitch patterns. If using a wing needle
and the stitch width has been set manually,
check that the needle will not touch the
presser foot by carefully rotating the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise)
before starting to sew.
