Changing Sewing Direction 

Stop the machine. Leave the needle in the fabric, 
and press the “Presser Foot Lifter” button to raise 
the presser foot. Using the needle as a pivot, turn 
the fabric so that you can sew in the new 
direction. Press the “Presser Foot Lifter” button to 
lower the presser foot and start sewing.

The pivot setting is useful when changing the 
sewing direction. When the machine is stopped at 
the corner of the fabric, the machine stops with the 
needle in the fabric and the presser foot is 
automatically raised so the fabric can easily be 
rotated (“Pivoting” on page 72).

Sewing a Seam Allowance of 0.5 cm 

or Less

Baste the corner before sewing, and then, after 
changing the sewing direction at the corner, pull the 
basting thread toward the back while sewing.

Sewing Heavyweight Fabrics

The sewing machine can sew fabrics up to 6 mm 
(approx. 1/4 inch) thick. If the thickness of a seam 
causes sewing to occur at an angle, help guide the 
fabric by hand and sew on the downward slope.

If the Fabric does not Fit under the 

Presser Foot

If the presser foot is in the up position, and you are 
sewing heavyweight or multiple layers of fabric 
which do not fit easily under the presser foot, use 
the presser foot lever to raise the presser foot to its 
highest position. The fabric will now fit under the 
presser foot.

 CAUTION

• Do not forcefully push fabrics more than 

6 mm (approx. 1/4 inch) thick through the 
sewing machine. This may cause the needle to 
break and cause injury.

• Thicker fabrics require a larger needle 

(“CHANGING THE NEEDLE” on page 56).

Memo

• You cannot use the presser foot lever after 

the presser foot has been raised using the 
“Presser Foot Lifter” button.
