Finishing Off a Seam
To fasten the threads at the end of a seam, press
and hold the key while sewing.
Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric; pull the
threads to the back and cut threads using the thread
cutter. (The threads are cut the proper length to start
the next seam.)
Changing Sewing Direction
Stop the machine and press the key to bring the
needle down into the fabric. Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing
direction. Lower the presser foot. Press the key
to bring the needle up.
Sewing On Heavy Fabrics
The black button on presser foot A locks the foot in a
horizontal position when pushed in before lowering
the presser foot. This ensures even feeding at the
beginning of seams and helps when sewing many
layers of fabric such as welt seams used to hem
jeans.
When the point of an increased thickness is reached,
lower the needle and raise the presser foot. Press in
the black button. Lower the foot and continue sew-
ing.
This button releases automatically after a few
stitches have been sewn.
