Controlling Sewing Speed
Sewing speed can be varied with the foot control. The
harder you press on the foot control, the faster the
machine runs.
The maximum sewing speed can be varied by sliding the
speed control lever. For a faster speed, slide it to the
right; for a slower speed, slide it to the left.
