Revolutions per Minute (RPM)
With the Revolutions per Minute (RPM) setting, you
can set the speed at which the machine sews when the
fabric is not being moved. The set speed is the
minimum speed when the machine is sewing.
BISR 2/BSR 2 Mode
In this mode, the machine starts sewing as soon as you
press the foot control and move the fabric. The
machine stops as soon as you are no longer moving the
fabric or no longer pressing the foot control.
To secure the thread, you can move the fabric back and
forth in place or press the Securing
button.
Stitches per Inch (SPI)
With the Stitches per Inch (SPI) setting, you can set
the desired stitch length in stitches per inch.
BISR 3/BSR 3 Mode
This mode is intended for basting. You can choose
between two basting stitch lengths. To ensure that the
stitches are sewn correctly, move the quilt more slowly
when basting.

your heel.

Please Note
n As long as the KickStart
function is active, the
function programmed for the back-kick will be
deactivated. In this case, the back-kick is instead
used to start and stop the machine.
n If no sewing is being carried out in the BSR
modes2 and 3, the machine will switch to standby
mode after 7seconds. This means that the machine
will not start sewing automatically if the fabric is
moved. You can end standby mode with another
back-kick.
n The KickStart
function is automatically
stopped in the following cases:
n
If the active monitoring function reports an
error, e.g. thread break or bobbin empty.
n
If the foot control cable is removed.
n
If no sewing takes place for 60 seconds.
