Before using the sensor functions, carefully read “Utility Stitches” chapter to familiarize yourself with the 
machine operations.
The sensor functions are performed using the sensor pen.

When using the sensor pen with utility stitches, the 
operations may differ depending on the area to be 
touched.

The sewing position will be indicated by a red 
guideline marker.

The position of the guideline marker can be 
adjusted to your desired location.
