BEFORE USE • Always turn off the power before changing the presser foot. If the power is on and the “Start/ Stop” button or another button is pressed, the machine will start and may cause injury. • Always use the correct presser foot for the selected stitch pattern.
This foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These materials are difficult to feed when sewing but this foot can prevent such materials from crumpling, slipping or sticking to presser foot thanks to even feeding of upper and lower materials. 1 • • You can use walking foot for sewing STRAIGHT STITCH ( Reverse stitches can not be sewn with the walking foot. 2 · 3 ) and ZIGZAG STITCH ( ). 1.
With the accessory compartment off of the machine, the feed dog position switch can be seen on the base of the sewing machine.
