2. Adjusting Stitch Settings

Adjust stitch length and width using the control buttons next to the LCD screen. The auto tension system will automatically set the optimal tension for most stitches, but manual adjustments can be made if needed.

3. Start/Stop and Reverse Functions

Use the Advanced Start/Stop button to begin and end sewing without the foot pedal. The Easy Reverse button allows for quick backstitching to secure seams. The Locking Stitch button provides an automatic tie-off at the beginning and end of straight and decorative stitches.

4. Memorized Needle Up/Down

Activate the Memorized Needle Up/Down function to have the needle stop in either the up or down position when you stop sewing. This is particularly useful for pivoting corners in quilting.

5. AcuFeed Flex Fabric Feeding System

Engage the AcuFeed Flex Fabric Feeding System for superior fabric handling, especially with multiple layers or slippery materials. This system ensures even feeding from both the top and bottom.

1. Cleaning the Bobbin Area

Regularly clean the bobbin area to remove lint and thread residue. Open the bobbin cover and use the provided lint brush to clear any debris. This prevents thread jams and ensures smooth operation.

2. Fanoloana fanjaitra

Change the needle frequently, especially when starting a new project or if the needle becomes dull or bent. Use the correct needle type and size for your fabric and thread.

3. Fikarakarana ankapobeny

Keep your machine covered when not in use to protect it from dust. Avoid pulling on the fabric while sewing, as this can bend the needle or affect stitch quality.

If you encounter issues with your machine, first check the threading of both the top thread and the bobbin. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent or dull. Consult the full user manual for detailed troubleshooting steps for specific problems.
