The presser foot remains level, allowing the
fabric to be fed.
•After the seam is sewn, the presser foot will
return to its original angle.
• If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch) thick is
sewn or if the fabric is pushed with too much
force, the needle may bend or break.
Sewing hook-and-loop fastener
tape
• Use only the ungummed hook-and-loop
fastener tape which is for sewing. If the glue
is attached to the needle or the bobbin hook
race, it may cause malfunction.
• If the hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn
with the thin needle (65/9 – 75/11), the needle
may bend or break.
•Before start sewing, baste together the fabric and
the hook-and-loop fastener tape.
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-
and-loop fastener tape by turning the handwheel and
lower the needle into the hook-and-loop fastener
tape before sewing. And then, sew the edge of the
hook-and-loop fastener tape at a slow speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-
loop fastener tape, replace the needle with the
needle for thick fabrics (page 20).

Sewing thin fabrics
When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become
misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly.
Move the needle (be sure to use a fine needle) to the
furthest left or right hand position so that the fabric
does not get pulled down into the feed dog area. If
you have finished sewing, tear off any excess
paper.

Sewing stretch fabrics
First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then
sew without stretching the fabric.
