To sew
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam guide line on the needle plate. Lower the needle to
the point where you wish to start.
Pull the needle and bobbin threads toward the rear.
Lower the presser foot.
Depress the foot control to start sewing. Gently guide the
fabric along the seam guide line letting the fabric feed
naturally.
To sew from the edge of thick fabric
The black button on the zigzag foot locks the foot in the
horizontal position.
This is helpful when starting sewing from extreme edge of
thick fabrics or sewing across a hem.
Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where you wish
to start sewing.
Lower the foot while pushing the black button in. The foot is
locked in the horizontal position to avoid slipping.

Securing seam
For fastening the ends of seams, press the reverse button
and sew several reverse stitches.
The machine sews in reverse as long as you press and
hold the reverse button.
Press the reverse button once when sewing the Lock-a-
Matic stitch (pattern 03) or locking stitch (pattern 04) so the
machine will lock the stitch off and stop automatically.
After finishing sewing, press the thread cutter button to cut
the threads.

NOTE:
Avoid trimming the threads with the needle in up position,
as a needle mark can be distinct.
To start the next seam, it is recommended to bring the
bobbin thread up and pull both needle and bobbin threads
to the back under the presser foot.
NOTE:
Use the thread cutter on the face plate to cut the
specialized or thick threads if the auto thread cutter does
not work well.
