NOTES:
The thread cutter button does not function when the
presser foot is up.
Use the thread cutter on the face plate to cut specialized
or thick threads if the auto thread cutter does not work
well.
To use the thread cutter on the face plate, remove the
fabric and draw it to the back.
Pull the threads up and slip them between the thread
cutter and face plate from behind.
Pull the threads toward you to cut.

Using the seam guide lines
The seam guides on the needle plate and hook cover
help you measure seam allowance.
NOTE:
The numbers on the needle plate indicate the distance
from the center needle position in millimeters and inches.
Angle scale on the needle plate
The angle scales are marked at 45, 60, 90 and 120
degrees.
Use the broken lines when piecing the patchwork pieces
with the 1/4” seam foot O.
