Sewing with the Dual Feed Device
Patterns U1 to U5 and Q1 to Q7 can be sewn with the
dual feed device.
The dual feed device is extremely effective when sewing
hard to feed materials such as PVC coated fabric or
leather.
It also eliminates layer slippage.
See page 27 for how to attach the dual feed foot and to
engage the dual feed device.
Press the dual feed key q and select the desired pattern.
NOTE:
The patterns not suitable for dual feed sewing are
grayed out.
The dual feed key will gray out or not be indicated
if you selected a pattern not suitable for dual feed
sewing.
Dual feed balancing dial
The dual feed balancing dial should be set at “0”,
however you may need to adjust the dual feed balance
depending on the type of fabric.
Check the feed balance by test sewing on a scrap piece
of the fabric you intend to use.
(A): If the lower layer puckers, turn the dual feed
balancing dial toward “+”.
(B): If the upper layer puckers, turn the dual feed
balancing dial toward “–”.
