Button
Buttonhole sewing is a simple 1-step process providing reliable results every time. The sides of the buttonholes are sewn in the same direction to prevent gaps in stitching or fabric distortion.
The buttonhole foot with underplate sandwiches fabric between a lower plate and the foot to ensure perfect buttonholes on multiple layers of fabric. Effectively, this is like a mini-embroidery hoop in which the machine feeds the attachment, rather than the fabric. It makes creating buttonholes possible in places that conventional buttonhole devices cannot easily reach.
Sewing’s biggest timesaver! This feature makes threading the eye of the needle quick and easy.
Optimal settings for stitch length and width are automatically set, but can be overridden for more personalized sewing.
Pressing this button when the machine is stopped will change the needle position from down to up or from up to down.

Stitch Function
Automatic Reverse
This is a specially designed feed system that ensures that the fabric is picked up and supported from the front of the presser foot to the rear. This provides for much more accurate feeding of the fabric.
This is a function that moves the feed dogs in a box motion, rather than the historic arc motion. Box motion assures perfect feeding throughout the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in perfect and equal contact with the fabric and presser foot.
Threading the machine is so easy that you can have the entire machine threaded, from the spool to the needle’s eye, in just six seconds
Tie-off decorative and utility stitches with just a push of a button. This feature ensures quality stitching and prevents unraveling.
Push the conveniently located Automatic Reverse Button to sew in reverse and reinforce the stitch.

Error Warning
The Presser Foot Lifter has two heights. The second offers more clear­ance, which is needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric under the presser foot.
Provides easy access to cuffs, collars, pant hems and other difficult-to­reach areas.
When tapering with the zigzag stitch, the stitch tapers to the center, not the left or right. This feature is especially valuable when appliquéing, because it provides a more attractive look when tapering into or out from a point.
The amount of pressure exerted on the fabric by the presser foot against the feed dogs is adjusted automatically. Sew from the lightest weight tricots to the heaviest denim, without making adjustments.
An audible warning alerts the sewer if something is incorrect. The audible warning can be deactivated, if desired. A picture appears on the LCD screen illustrating the probable error.
