7-8. Multi-layered section detection function
7-8-1. Multi-layered section detection function
When this function is used, the sewing machine detects a multi-layered section of the material, automatically
changes over the sewing parameter to one-touch changeover parameter (
"5-2-8. One-touch utility change-
over function" p.73
) and carries out sewing. The multi-layered section detection setting can be stored in
memory on a pattern-by-pattern basis.
Detectable material thickness : Max. 8 mm
Detection resolution : 0.1 mm
* Multi-layered section of material that is less than 2 mm in thickness is likely to be aected by the feed
dog height. Stable detection, therefore, cannot be carried out. It is not possible to detect two or more
multi-layered sections thickness of which are dierent. In such cases, one-touch changeover function or
the polygonal-shape stitching function by means of the hand switch should be used.
[In order to detect a multi-layered section]
