Various Presser Feet and Their Uses
1 Zigzag Foot A:
This is the most versatile foot. It can be used for
various stitches including straight stitches and zigzag
stitches. It is designed to achieve firm and neat seam
results.
2 Overedge Foot C:
This foot is exclusively for overedging. The brush on
the foot effectively prevents skipped stitches on the
raw edge of fabrics.
3 Zipper Foot E:
This foot is for sewing zippers. The zipper teeth are
guided through the grooves on the bottom of the foot.
4 Satin Stitch Foot F:
This clear plastic foot is ideal for satin stitches and
decorative stitches. The center groove on the bottom
of the foot ensures smooth feeding of dense stitches.
5 Blind Hem Foot G:
This foot is specially designed for blind hemming. The
guide on the foot helps feed the fabric and sew a
straight and nearly invisible blind-hem.
6 Overcasting Foot M:
This foot is specially designed to simulate professional
style overlocking. The wires on the foot effectively
prevent the fabric edge from puckering or rolling.
7 Button Sewing Foot T:
This foot is exclusively used for attaching a button. It
holds a button securely in place and allows fine
adjustment of the button position.
8 Embroidery Foot P:
This foot is a special foot for Professional-Style
Embroidery.
9 Basting/Darning Foot P-2:
This is a special foot for basting. It holds fabrics while
taking a stitch, synchronizing with the needle bar
movement. This foot can also be used for freehand
embroidery or quilting.
10 Automatic Buttonhole Foot R:
This foot is for sensor buttonholes and for darning.
Place a button in the button holder in the rear of the
foot. This automatically sets the buttonhole size.

Auto tension
This machine features an Auto setting in the tension
control, which covers a wide range of sewing
condition. Set the tension control dial at Auto for
general sewing, unless specifically indicated in this
manual.
1 Setting Mark
Correct tension:
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between
two layers of fabric
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side of the fabric, and the needle
thread shows slightly on the wrong side of the fabric.
2 Needle Thread
3 Right Side of the Fabric
4 Wrong Side of the Fabric
5 Bobbin Thread
Manual tension adjustment
Manual tension adjustment may be needed depending
on the sewing materials, layers of fabric and other
sewing conditions.
Needle thread tension is too tight:
If the bobbin thread appears on the right side of the
fabric.
Loosen the needle thread tension by moving the dial to
a lower number.
Needle thread tension is too loose:
If the needle thread appears on the wrong side of the
fabric.
Tighten the needle thread tension by moving the dial
to a higher number.

sewing speed, type of the fabric, number of layers etc.
Always make a test sewing on a scrap piece of the
fabric that you wish to use. If decorative stretch stitch
patterns, letters, numbers or the Auto Buttonhole
stitch are distorted, correct it with the Feed Balancing
Dial.
NOTES:
In normal sewing, set the Feed Balancing Dial to the
neutral position, i.e. the Groove on the Dial is centered
with the Standard setting Mark.
Turn the Feed Balancing Dial with a coin.
1 Feed Balancing Dial
2 Standard Setting Mark
3 Groove on the Dial
Decorative stretch stitch patterns
If the pattern is compressed, turn the dial toward +”.
If the pattern is drawn out, turn the dial toward ”.
Letters and numbers
If the pattern is compressed, turn the dial toward +”.
If the pattern is drawn out, turn the dial toward ”.
Correcting stitch balance of the Auto Buttonhole
The stitch balance of the right and left rows on the
Auto Buttonhole may vary depending on conditions of
sewing. If the stitches are not balanced, correct the
unevenness with the Feed Balancing Dial.
If the right row is denser, turn the dial toward ”.
If the left row is denser, turn the dial toward +”.
NOTE:
Return the Feed Balancing Dial to its neutral position
when sewing is finished.

Adhesive (Iron-on) Stabilizer
Place the Wrong side of fabric and the glossy side of
the stabilizer together. Fold up a corner of the
stabilizer and fuse it with an iron.
NOTES:
Fold up a corner of the stabilizer to make it easier to
peel off the excess stabilizer after stitching.
Ironing temperatures vary depending on the kind of
adhesive type stabilizer.
Adjusting the Thread Tension
Balanced thread tension:
A small amount of the needle thread shows on the
wrong side of the fabric.
1 Needle Thread
2 Bobbin thread
When the needle thread tension is too tight:
The bobbin thread shows on the right side of the
fabric.
Reduce the tension by turning the tension dial to a
lower number.
When the needle tension is too loose:
The needle thread forms loops and the stitches look
shaggy.
Increase the tension by turning the dial to a higher
number.
Pressure Dial
For embroidery, set the Pressure Dial at 2”.
Needles
Use size 11 needles for fine fabrics.
For medium to heavy weight fabrics, use size 14 needles.
Stabilizers
To obtain the best quality embroidery, it is important to use stabilizers.
Types of stabilizer
Tear-away Stabilizer is made from a fiber that will tear easily. Use tear-away stabilizers for stable woven fabrics. After
stitching, tear away the stabilizer so that the small portion left in the back of the stitching will not affect the wear.
Iron-on Stabilizer is an adhesive type stabilizer for knits and all kinds of unstable fabrics. Fuse it to the wrong side of the
fabrics with an iron.
Cut-away Stabilizer is a non-woven fabric that does not tear. Cut the excess portion after stitching. Use cut-away
stabilizers for knits and all kinds of unstable fabrics.
Water Soluble Stabilizer will dissolve in water. Use this stabilizer for cutwork or lace embroidery, and also for the right
side of looped fabrics such as towel to avoid loops coming through the embroidery.
Sticky Stabilizer is a sticky paper used for securing a small fabric or work that cannot be secured in the hoop. It is also
used for velvet and other napped fabric that would be permanently marked by the hoop.
Usage:
The stabilizer should be attached to the wrong side of fabric.
More than one layer may be required.
Felt or stable fabrics do not need to be stabilized and you may embroider directly on it.
For firm fabrics, you may place a thin paper under the fabric.
The non-adhesive type should be used when embroidering fabric, which cannot be ironed or for sections, which are
difficult to iron.
Cut the stabilizer larger than the embroidery hoop and set it on the hoop so that the entire piece is fastened with the
hoop to prevent looseness of the fabric.

in the hoop.
Remove the template.

NOTES:
When placing the fabric on the Embroidery Hoop,
place the Outer Hoop on a flat surface.
For thin and stretchy fabrics use an adhesive type
Stabilizer (iron-on type) on the wrong side of the
fabric. More than one layer may be required.
