While sewing, use the red scale marks on the 
vertical stitch alignment foot “V” as a guide to keep 
a fixed distance from the edge of the fabric.

When sewing starts, a still image from the built-in 
camera is displayed.

Note

• Distances between 1.5 mm (about 1/16 

inch) and 38.5 mm (about 1-1/2 inches) can 
be measured. The distance is displayed in 
the screen in 0.5 mm (about 1/64 inch) 
increments.

• The distance is displayed in millimeters. 

However, depending on the measurement 
setting, it can also be displayed in inches.

• If “-_- mm” appears as the distance and no 

inch measurement is displayed, the built-in 
camera is not able to detect the edge of the 
fabric.

• When a straight stitch is selected, use the 

scale on the edge sewing sheet as a guide 
for positioning the fabric for edge sewing.

Memo

• If the knee lifter is used to lower the presser 

foot, the fabric can be held in place with both 
hands so the fabric does not move when the 
presser foot is lowered.

Note

• While sewing, do not place anything, 

including your hands, within 2 mm (about 1/
16 inch) from the edge of the fabric, 
otherwise the edge of the fabric cannot be 
detected correctly. When guiding the fabric 
with your hands, place them outside of the 
object-free area and more than 2 mm (about 
1/16 inch) from the edge of the fabric.
