Operation Manual
Presser
feet
The
presser
feet
are
marked
with
letters.
The
different
feet
are
used
for
different
purposes.
Presser
foot
A
is
fitted
on
the
machine
at
delivery
and
is
used
for
straight
stitching,
zig-zag
and
three-step
zig-zag.
This
foot
has
notches
which
can
be
used
as
guides
when
sewing.
When
straight
stitching
with
the
needle
in
the
center
position,
you
will
have
a
7
mm
(1/4”)
seam
allow
ance
if
you
guide
the
fabric
even
with
the
outer
edge
of
the
foot;
4
mm
(/16”)
at
the
inner
edge
and
2
mm
(/32”)
at
the
innermost
notch.
Zipper
foot
E
can
be
attached
to
the
right
or
to
the
left
of
the
needle,
making
it
easy
to
sew
both
sides
of
the
zipper.
General
hints
The
best
way
to
hold
the
fabric
is
to
let
your
left
hand
rest
lightly
on
the
work
at
A
and
guide
it
forward.
Hold
the
edge
of
the
fabric
at
B
with
your
right
hand
and
guide
the
work.
Do
not
pull
the
fabric—just
guide
it
toward
the
presser
foot
and
let
the
machine
do
the
feeding.
When
you
wish
to
straight
stitch,
place
the
work
so
that
the
needle
goes
down
in
the
center
of
the
marking
for
the
seam.
When
sewing
zig-zag,
place
the
marking
for
the
seam
along
the
left
edge
of
the
needle
plate
slot.
Lower
the
presser
foot,
start
the
machine
gently
and
increase
the
speed
gradually.
When
sewing
fine
and
soft
fabrics,
start
the
seam
a
couple
of
mm
(½”)
from
the
edge
of
the
fabric,
to
prevent
it
from
being
pulled
down
into
the
needle
plate
slot.
If
you
wish
to
extend
the
seam
out
to
the
very
edge
of
the
fabric,
sew
a
few
reverse
stitches
and
then
hold
the
threads
behind
the
presser
foot
when
sewing
forward
again.
Fasten
off
the
seam
by
depressing
the
reverse
feed
but
ton
and
sew
a
few
reverse
stitches.
When
the
seam
is
finished,
raise
the
presser
foot,
remove
the
work
from
behind
and
cut
off
the
threads
leaving
at
least
15
cm
(6”)
of
thread
behind
the
needle.
Straight
stitching
Check
that
the
needle
is
in
the
highest
position.
Turn
the
stitch
selector
to
the
letter
E.
Set
the
stitch
length
dial
to
the
recommended
basic
set
ting
2.5
but
experiment
until
you
arrive
at
the
exact
stitch
length
for
the
actual
work
you
will
be
doing.
Increase
the
stitch
length
when
basting
and
topstitching.
The
straight
stitch
is
sewn
with
the
needle
in
the
left
position
when
you
turn
the
stitch
selector
to
the
letter
D.
This
is
very
useful
when
sewing
light
fabrics.
They
will
be
supported
better
by
the
presser
foot
and
the
needle
plate
and
it
will
be
easier
to
sew
top
stitching
close
to
an
edge.
It
is
also
important
when
turning
in
corners.
With
the
needle
in
the
center
position
it
may
be
difficult
for
the
feeder
to
grip
the
material.
