Notes for thread trimming:
1. Do not use thread thicker than No.30.
2. After trimming, the stitch can be done without pulling up bobbin thread.
3. When sewing again after thread trimming, if you pull up the bobbin thread again and place it under-
neath the presser foot together with needle thread, you can avoid birds nest on the wrong side of the
fabric.
4. Regularly clean the machine (refer to page 111), as dust in the area of the thread trimming unit may
cause malfunction.
When this button is pressed, the sewing machine
performs lock stitch.
