c
Check that the needle drops at the desired
position and lower the presser foot, making
sure the upper thread passes underneath
the buttonhole foot.
d
Gently hold the end of the upper thread,
and then press the “Start/Stop” button to
start the machine.
Once sewing is completed, the machine
automatically sews reinforcement stitches, and then
stops.
Bar Tacks
Use bar tacks to reinforce areas that will be subject
to strain, such as pocket corners.

Attach buttonhole foot “A+” and set the
scale to the length of the bar tack you wish

Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Set the presser foot so that there is no gap
behind the section marked with an “A+” (the
shaded area in the illustration below). If
there is a gap, the size of the darning will
not be correct.
Memo
• If automatic thread cutting is turned on
before you start sewing, both threads are
automatically cut after the reinforcement
stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed
(for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.
