Basic Sewing

CAUTION
  • To avoid injury, pay special attention to the needle while the machine is in operation. Keep your hands away from moving parts while the machine is in operation.
  • Do not stretch or pull the fabric during sewing. Doing so may lead to injury.
  • Do not use bent or broken needles. Doing so may lead to injury.
  • Do not attempt to sew over basting pins or other objects during sewing. Otherwise, the needle may break and cause injury.
IMPORTANT
  • If stitches become bunched, lengthen the stitch length setting before continuing sewing. Otherwise, the needle may bend or break.
  • First, perform a trial sewing, using a piece of fabric and thread that are the same as those used for your project.

  1. Touch [Sewing] in the home page screen to display the utility stitches. If the needle is lowered, press (Needle position button) to raise the needle.

  2. Select the category, and then touch the key of the stitch you want to sew.

    Swipe the key of a category sideways to display hidden categories.

  4. Set the fabric under the presser foot. Hold the fabric and thread in your left hand, and press (Needle position button) to set the needle in the sewing start position.

    You do not have to pull up the bobbin thread.

  8. Press the “Start/Stop” button again to stop sewing.

  9. Press (Thread cutter button) to trim the upper and bobbin threads.

    IMPORTANT
    • Do not press (Thread cutter button) after the threads have been cut. Doing so could tangle the thread or damage the machine.
    • Do not press (Thread cutter button) when there is no fabric set in the machine or during machine operation. The thread may tangle, possibly resulting in damage.
    • When cutting thread such as nylon monofilament thread, or other decorative threads, use scissors.
