For sharp corners, temporarily stop sewing while keeping  
the needle in the material, then raise the presser foot and  
carefully turn the fabric while keeping it level with the  
presser foot. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing.  
Sewing thick fabric  
1. When you raise the presser foot lever further, the presser  
foot is raised to a higher position to handle thicker fabrics.  
With the presser foot in the up position, raise the presser  
foot lever higher to make room for thicker fabrics.  
2. If the fabric will not feed at the beginning of sewing, place  
another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back  
of the material.  
*
Using a straight stitch foot (optional accessory item SA108  
or X80823001) will stop the fabric lifting up and down as the  
needle pierces very thick fabrics.  
Remember that this foot is only to be used with the straight  
stitch in the center needle position.  
Sewing thin fabric  
Place thin paper or stabilizer material under the fabric, and then  
start sewing.

Installation of walking foot  
This foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These  
materials are difficult to be fed when sewing but this foot can prevent such materials from crumpling,  
slipping or sticking between presser foot and materials thanks to even feeding upper and lower materials.  
You can use walking foot only for sewing STRAIGHT STITCH (  
·
) and ZIGZAG STITCH ( ).  
You can not use this foot for sewing other patterns including horizontal feed (STRAIGHT & ZIGZAG  
STITCH).  
1. Remove the presser foot and the presser foot holder.  
2. Attach the adapter for low shank attachments.  
*
*
Push the adapter up onto the end of the presser bar as far  
as possible.  
Use the metal disk provided with your machine (accessory  
#14 on page 7) or screw driver to tighten the screw (small)  
firmly.  
*
When attaching the adapter, be sure to use the metal disk  
or screw driver to tighten the screw firmly. If the screw is not  
completely tightened, injuries may occur.  
*
3. Fix the connecting lever of Walking foot to the needle fixing  
screw and install Walking foot onto the presser bar. Lower  
the presser foot and tighten the presser foot holder screw  
(large).  
Before sewing, be sure to turn the balance wheel toward

SEWING  
Sewing attractive finishes  
Refer to the table below and the “RELATED CHART OF SEWING FABRICS, THREADS AND NEEDLES”  
for recommended fabrics, threads and needles to use in order to obtain attractive sewing finishes.  
Furthermore, fabric pattern slippages may occur when using different fabric thicknesses or types of  
stabilizers. Be sure to carry out a test sewing beforehand to check.  
1 Fabric  
2 Stabilizer  
3 Thin paper  
When sewing thin or stretch fabrics,  
fabrics with coarse weaves, or  
characters/decorative stitches stored in  
the machine attach interfacing to the  
reverse side. If you do not wish to  
attach interfacing, place the fabric onto  
a thin paper such as tracing paper  
before starting to sew. This acts as a  
stabilizer.

Using a pattern sheet  
You can use the clear plastic pattern sheet which is provided as an accessory to make reference marks on  
your material for use in positioning. This is particularly helpful when sewing large characters.  
1. Align the picture on the pattern sheet with the place where  
the pattern is to be sewn on the fabric, and use a chalk pen  
to make marks on the fabric at the positions of the holes.  
*
When sewing patterns in mirror image, turn the pattern  
sheet upside-down.

CAUTION  
When sewing some patterns, the needle will stop in the  
raised position while the fabric is fed due to the needle bar  
separation mechanism which is used in this machine. At  
such times, a clicking sound which is different from the  
sound generated during sewing will be heard, but this  
sound is normal and is not the sign of a malfunction.

PREPARATION BEFORE SEWING  
BE SURE TO ATTACH A PIECE OF STABILIZER FABRIC TO THE BACK OF THE  
MATERIAL BY IRONING BEFORE STARTING TO EMBROIDER  
Using stabilizer fabric is an indispensable part of creating attractive embroidery. It is  
particularly important to attach stabilizer fabric to the back of stretch fabrics, thin fabrics  
and fabric with coarse weaves. If necessary, two thicknesses of stabilizer fabric can be  
attached. If embroidering on fabrics which cannot be ironed, or in places where ironing is  
difficult, place the stabilizer fabric underneath the frame before embroidering. Use  
stabilizer fabric which is larger in area than the frame, and make sure that the stabilizer  
fabric is clamped all the way around by the frame to prevent the fabric from becoming  
loose.

EMBROIDERING  
Embroidering attractive finishes  
Refer to the table below and the “RELATED CHART OF SEWING FABRICS, THREADS AND NEEDLES”  
to use in order to obtain attractive sewing and embroidery finishes. Pattern slippages may occur when  
using different fabric thicknesses or types of stabilizers. Be sure to carry out a test sewing beforehand to  
check.  
1 Fabric  
When embroidering fabrics, attach a  
2 Stabilizer  
non-woven type of stabilizer fabric.  
*
It is recommended that you use a  
special stabilizer fabric for embroi-  
dering which can be torn off around  
the design when the project is  
finished.

Simplify the drawing so that it can be drawn as a continuous  
line. If sewing continuous patterns, the height of the start  
point and end point should be the same. You can obtain a  
more attractive finish if you make the intersections cross  
over to make a closed design.

2. Mark coordinate points at each point in the pattern where  
the direction of the stitching changes, this will maintain the  
shape of the pattern as it is sewn.
