machine will sew in reverse while the
reverse sewing button is pressed.
The machine will sew in reverse
when the reverse sewing button is
pressed without pressing the start/
stop button.
• If a stitch other than a straight stitch
is selected, three reinforcement
stitches are sewn, and then the
machine stops.
Presser foot lever
• When sewing, lower the presser foot lever to
lower the presser foot. (1)
• When inserting fabric, lift up the presser foot
lever to raise the presser foot. (2)
• The presser foot can be raised even higher by
raising the presser foot lever to 3.
* Since the presser foot lever does not remain in 3,
hold it in place while inserting the fabric. This
position is useful when sewing thick fabric.
