How to use

Thread the machine according to the user manual, using the threading path and tension settings provided. Select a stitch using the touch panel or control buttons and attach the suitable presser foot for your task. For narrow or circular items, use the free arm by removing the detachable extension table. Use the 1-step automatic buttonhole function to produce consistent buttonholes in a single operation. Adjust stitch length and width as needed for fabric type, and test settings on a scrap piece before working on the final item.

Recommendations

Use appropriate needles and thread for the fabric weight to ensure reliable stitching and reduce the risk of skipped stitches. For medium-weight fabrics, choose a medium-point needle and balanced thread; for heavier fabrics, use a heavier needle and stronger thread. Regularly clean lint from the bobbin area and oil moving parts as indicated in the manual to maintain consistent performance. When changing presser feet or working with delicate trims, lower stitch speed and test on scraps to avoid fabric damage.
