Aligning the fabric with a mark on the needle
plate or bobbin cover (with mark)
While sewing, align the edge of the fabric with
the 16 mm (approx. 5/8 inch) mark on the needle
plate or bobbin cover (with mark) depending on
the needle position (left or middle (center) needle
position stitches only).

Hands-free raising and
lowering of the presser foot
Using the knee lifter, you can raise and lower the
presser foot with your knee, leaving both hands free
to handle the fabric.
■
Installing the knee lifter
Turn off the sewing machine.
Insert the knee lifter into the mounting slot on
the front of the sewing machine in the lower-
right corner.
Align the tabs on the knee lifter with the
notches in the mounting slot, and then insert
the knee lifter as far as possible.
