1. Selecting a Stitch: Turn on the machine. Use the touch buttons to select your desired stitch. The LCD screen will display the selected stitch and its default settings.
2. Adjusting Stitch Settings: While the machine provides optimal pre-selected settings, you can adjust stitch length and width using the dedicated buttons next to the LCD screen to customize your projects.
3. Using Presser Feet: Select the appropriate presser foot for your sewing task. For example, use the Zipper Foot for zippers, the Buttonhole Foot for buttonholes, or the Cording Foot for adding decorative cords. Attach the presser foot by aligning it with the presser foot holder and lowering the presser foot lever.
4. Starting to Sew: Place your fabric under the presser foot. Lower the presser foot lever. Gently press the foot controller to begin sewing. The powerful motor ensures smooth operation even through multiple layers of thick fabric.
5. Reverse Stitching: Use the reverse stitch button to reinforce seams at the beginning and end of your stitching.
6. Finishing a Seam: When finished, raise the needle to its highest position, lift the presser foot, and gently pull the fabric away from the machine. Cut the threads using the built-in thread cutter.
