3-4. Preparations and control
Check that thread has not slipped off the guides 
nor has broken. Make sure the upper cutter 
moves correctly against the lower cutter by 
slowly turning the handwheel toward you.
Check that there are no pieces of fabric or 
thread between the cutters. Turn the handwheel 
toward you and make sure the threads form the 
stitch on the stitch fi nger of the needle plate. If 
not, check threading.
When the machine has been threaded, close 
the front cover and lower the presser foot.
3-5. Presser foot pressure
You can change the presser foot pressure with 
the numbered dial on the left side of the machine.
Position “N” is for normal fabrics. A lower num-
ber is for thin fabrics. A higher number is for 
thick fabrics.

The thread tension is only a recommendation according to the chart above.
See recommendation in the Sewing Advisor display.
Since the numbers in the chart are average it may be necessary to adjust the tension somewhat 
according to different types of fabric and threads.
Note: Fabric and thread structure may vary between different weights and types. Therefore try the 
best setting for your machine.
The differential feed ratio is normally “1.0”.
