threads #30 or finer.
Use the thread cutter on the face plate to cut the specialized
or thick threads if the auto thread cutter does not work well.
When starting the next seam, pull the needle thread to pick
the bobbin thread up and draw them to the back and under
the foot.
Clean the auto thread cutter mechanism regularly to avoid
malfunction due to built up lint.
Avoid using a paper spool when it begins to empty since it
will not unwind smoothly. It may cause the thread to bunch
or slip when using the auto thread cutter.

foot.
You can raise the presser foot about 6 mm (1/4")
higher than the normal up position by exerting more
pressure when lifting the presser foot lifter. This allows
1

for easy removal of the presser foot and helps you to
place thick fabrics under it.

applique, patchwork and quilting since it allows you to
handle the fabric while your knee controls the presser
foot.
Match the ribs on the knee lifter with the notches in the
knee lifter socket and insert the knee lifter.

Variety of Presser Feet and Their Uses
1
1Zigzag foot A:
This is the most versatile foot. It can be used for various
stitches including straight stitches and zigzag stitches. It is
designed to achieve firm and neat seam results.
2
2Overedge foot C:
This foot is exclusively for overedging. The brush on the
foot effectively prevents skipped stitches on the raw edge
of fabrics.
3
3Rolled hem foot D:
This special foot is for sewing a rolled hem. The curl of the
foot helps to form a hem at a constant width.
4
4Zipper foot E:
This foot is for sewing zippers. The zipper teeth are guided
5
through the grooves on the bottom of the foot.
5Satin stitch foot F:
This clear plastic foot is ideal for satin stitches and
decorative stitches. The center groove on the bottom of the
foot ensures smooth feeding of dense stitches.

7Blind hem foot G:
This foot is specially designed for blind hemming. The
guide on the foot helps feed the fabric and sew a straight
and nearly invisible blind-hem.
8Cording foot:
This foot is specially designed to hold one or three strands
of cording to create braiding.
9Overcasting Foot M:
This foot is specially designed to simulate professional
style overlocking. The wires on the foot effectively prevent
the fabric edge from puckering or rolling.
101/4” seam foot O:
This foot is useful for patchwork piecing. The guide on the
foot maintains an exact 1/4” (0.7 cm) seam allowance.
11Basting/darning foot P:
This is a special foot for basting. It holds the fabric while
taking a stitch, synchronizing with the needle bar
movement. This foot can also be used for freemotion
embroidery or quilting.
12Automatic buttonhole foot R:
This foot is for buttonholes and for darning. Place a button
in the button holder on the rear of the foot. This
automatically sets the buttonhole size.
13Even feed foot:
This is a special attachment for hard-to-feed materials. This
foot effectively prevents fabrics from shifting and puckering.
It is great for quilting and matching plaids.
