2. Stitch Length and Width Adjustment
Adjust the stitch length using the appropriate control to suit your fabric and project requirements. While the M 2105 has fixed stitch widths for most patterns, the length can be varied for optimal results.
3. Reverse Sewing
To secure stitches at the beginning and end of a seam, press and hold the reverse lever. The machine will sew backward as long as the lever is depressed.
4. Free Arm Function
Remove the accessory storage compartment to reveal the free arm. This feature is ideal for sewing small, tubular items such as sleeves, pant legs, and cuffs, allowing the fabric to rotate freely around the arm.
5. Buttonhole Sewing
The machine features a four-step buttonhole process. Refer to the stitch selection dial for the buttonhole steps (1-4) and follow the instructions for attaching the buttonhole foot and marking your fabric.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sewing machine.
1. Cleaning the Machine
Periodically clean lint and dust from the bobbin area and feed dogs using a small brush. Turn off and unplug the machine before cleaning. Do not use compressed air, as it can push lint further into the machine.

2. Needle Replacement
Replace needles frequently, especially after 8-10 hours of sewing or if they become bent or dull. A dull needle can cause skipped stitches and fabric damage.
3. Accessory Care
Keep all accessories, such as presser feet, bobbins, and tools, clean and stored in the accessory compartment to prevent loss or damage.
