• Using a straight stitch (middle needle
position) makes it easier to sew smoothly
(see page S-24).
• For models equipped with the guideline
marker:
In the case Q-01(center, at width 3.5 mm) is
selected, if the guideline marker is set at
10.0 mm (3.5 mm plus 6.5 mm, close to 1/4
inch), you can sew piecing with referring the
guideline marker.
• For accurate fabric placement, refer to
“Aligning the Fabric with a Mark on the
Needle Plate or Bobbin Cover (with Mark)”
on page S-26.
