h

Align the upper thread and bobbin thread, 
and then pass them under the presser foot 
toward the rear of the machine.

i

Turn on the machine.

j

Select a stitch.

k

Adjust the upper thread tension.

For details on adjusting the upper thread tension, 
refer to the machine’s Operation Manual.

l

If your machine is equipped with the 
automatic thread cutting function and 
automatic reinforcement/reverse stitching 
function, make sure the automatic thread 
cutting and automatic reinforcement/reverse 
stitching have been turned off.

m

While gently holding threads at the rear of the 
machine, turn the handwheel to feed the 
needle into the punched hole again, and then 
lower the presser foot lever.

n

Select a low speed, gently hold the threads 
behind the presser foot and start sewing. 
Threads can be released after several stitches 
have been made.

o

When you have reached the end of the 
stitching area, stop the machine.

p

Raise the needle and presser foot.

Memo

• For best results, select a longer stitch length and a 

wider stitch width. Depending on the selected stitch, 
it may not be possible to change the stitch length 
and stitch width settings. For details on adjusting the 
stitch length and stitch width, refer to the machine’s 
Operation Manual.

• Depending on the fabric, bunched stitches may 

result. We recommend selecting a simple stitch and 
sewing trial stitches to check the sewing results.

Examples of simple stitches:

, 

, 

Memo

We recommend an upper thread tension that is higher 
than the standard setting.

 CAUTION

• Before sewing, make sure the automatic thread 

cutting has been turned off. If sewing is started with 
automatic thread cutting turned on, the thread may 
become tangled or the machine may be damaged.

Note

• Before sewing, check that there is enough thread in 

the bobbin.

Note

• Do not sew reinforcement/reverse stitches at the 

end of the stitching, otherwise the threads may 
become tangled or the needle may break. In 
addition, it will be difficult to pull the bobbin thread 
up to the wrong side of the fabric.
