Sewing Reinforcement Stitches 

Reverse/reinforcement stitches are generally 
necessary at the beginning and end of sewing. You 
can use the “Reverse/Reinforcement Stitch” button 
to sew reverse/reinforcement stitches manually 
(see page 3). 

If the automatic reinforcement stitch is selected on 
the screen, reverse stitches (or reinforcement 
stitches) will be sewn automatically at the 
beginning of sewing when the “Start/Stop” button 
is pressed. Press the “Reverse/Reinforcement 
Stitch” button to sew reverse stitches (or 
reinforcement stitches) automatically at the end of 
sewing (see page 69).

reverse stitches by holding the “Reverse/

Sewing Curves

Sew slowly while keeping the seam parallel with 
the fabric edge as you guide the fabric around the 
curve.

the red mark on the cord.

Memo

• The speed that is set using the sewing 

speed controller is the foot controller’s maxi-
mum sewing speed.
