Raise the needle by turning the handwheel 
toward you (counterclockwise) so that the mark 
on the wheel points up. (Or press   (needle 
position button) once or twice for models 
equipped with the needle position button.)
This procedure is not necessary if the needle 
stop position has been set to the raised position 
(page 10).

• When the foot controller is plugged in, the start/

stop button is disabled (for models equipped with 

the start/stop button).

• When sewing is stopped, the needle remains 

lowered (in the fabric). The machine can be set 

so that the needle will stay up when sewing is 

stopped. For details, refer to “Changing the needle 

stop position” (page 10).

■

When sewing stitches other than straight or zigzag 
stitches that are secured with reverse stitching, 
pressing   (reverse/reinforcement stitch button) 
sews reinforcement stitches, 3 to 5 stitches on top of 
each other.

Reinforcement stitching

• Whether reverse stitches or reinforcement stitches 

are sewn depends on the stitch that is selected. 

For details, refer to “STITCH SETTINGS” (page 

50).

The thread tension will affect the quality of your 
stitches. You may need to adjust it when you change 
fabric or thread.

• We recommend that you do a test sewing on 

scrap of a fabric before you start to sew.

■

Correct tension is important as too much or too little 
tension will weaken your seams or cause puckers on 
your fabric.

Loops will appear on the surface of the fabric.

• If the bobbin thread was incorrectly threaded, the 

upper thread may be too tight. In this case, refer 

to “Lower threading” (page 14) and rethread 

the bobbin thread.
