In addition, after you have finished reading this manual, store it where it can quickly be accessed for
future reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these safety instructions before attempting to use the machine.
This machine is intended for household use.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock
1Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet immediately after using, when cleaning, when making any
user servicing adjustments mentioned in this manual, or if you are leaving the machine unattended.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
2Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet when removing covers, lubricating, or when making any
adjustments mentioned in the instruction manual.
• To unplug the machine, switch the machine to the symbol “O” position to turn it off, then grasp the plug and pull
it out of the electrical outlet. Do not pull on the cord.
• Plug the machine directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
• Always unplug your machine if the power is cut.
3Never operate this machine if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped
or damaged, or water is spilled on the unit. Return the machine to the nearest authorized dealer or service center
for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• While the machine is stored or in use if you notice anything unusual, such as an odor, heat, discoloration or
deformation, stop using the machine immediately and unplug the power cord.
• When transporting the sewing machine, be sure to carry it by its handle. Lifting the sewing machine by any other
part may damage the machine or result in the machine falling, which could cause injuries.
• When lifting the sewing machine, be careful not to make any sudden or careless movements, otherwise you may
injure your back or knees.
4Always keep your work area clear:
• Never operate the machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of the sewing machine
and foot control free from the build up of lint, dust, and loose cloth.
• Do not store objects on the foot controller.
• Do not use extension cords. Plug the machine directly into the electrical outlet.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
• Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
• Do not use the machine near a heat source, such as a stove or iron; otherwise, the machine, power cord or

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5Special care is required when sewing:
• Always pay close attention to the needle. Do not use bent or damaged needles.
• Keep fingers away from all moving parts. Special care is required around the machine needle.
• Switch the sewing machine to the symbol “O” position to turn it off when making any adjustments in the needle
area.
• Do not use a damaged or incorrect needle plate, as it could cause the needle to break.
• Do not push or pull the fabric when sewing, and follow careful instruction when free motion stitching so that
you do not deflect the needle and cause it to break.

Edge Sewing
You can check the needle drop position on the
screen of your machine, even if the needle has not
actually been lowered. Also, you can view the
location of the needle within the sewing area in
the screen.
See “Checking the Needle Location in the Screen”
on page 75.
Using the built-in camera, the width of the area
from the edge of the fabric to the stitching line can
be measured and set for edge sewing.
See “Edge Sewing” on page 138.

Align the Embroidering Position
The embroidering position can easily be aligned
by using the machine’s built-in camera and the
enclosed embroidery positioning sticker.
See “Using the Built-In Camera to Align the
Embroidering Position” on page 206 and 302.
Uninterrupted Embroidering
(Using a Single Color)
Embroidery and Printing)
Completed embroidery patterns can be combined
with printed backgrounds that are built into this
machine.
Beautiful three-dimensional embroidered designs
can be created by ironing a background onto
fabric or printing it onto printable fabric, and then
embroider a design to compliment the
background.
See “PRINT AND STITCH (COMBINING
EMBROIDERY PATTERNS AND PRINTED
DESIGNS)” on page 217 and 306.
You can embroider a multi-color pattern with a single
color without stopping the machine while
embroidering.
See “Uninterrupted Embroidering (Using a Single
Color)” on page 295.
Duplicating a Pattern
You can duplicate a desired pattern with one touch.
See “Duplicating a Pattern” on page 290.
• Print the background and embroidery
position sheet in their original dimensions. If
an image is printed in a different size, the
sizes of the embroidery pattern and
background may not match. In addition, the
built-in camera cannot detect the
embroidery position mark. Make sure that
the print settings are correctly specified.

bobbin. In addition, snapping bobbin clips
together allows the bobbins to be conveniently stored and prevents them from rolling
around if they are dropped.
