The machine can sew fabrics up to 6 mm (approx. 1/4 inch) thick. If the thickness of a seam causes sewing to occur at an angle, help guide the fabric by hand and sew on the downward slope.

If the Fabric does not Fit under the Presser Foot

If the presser foot is in the up position, and you are sewing heavyweight or multiple layers of fabric which do not fit easily under the presser foot, use the presser foot lever to raise the presser foot to its highest position. The fabric will now fit under the presser foot.
 

If the Fabric does not Feed

If the fabric does not feed when starting to sew or when sewing thick seams, press the black button on the left side of presser foot J.
 

1. Raise the presser foot.
   
   
    
2. While keeping the black button on the left side of presser foot J pressed in, press the Presser Foot Lifter button to lower the presser foot.
   
   
   
   
   
    
3. Release the black button.
   
   
   >> The presser foot remains level, enabling the fabric to be fed.
   • Once the trouble spot has been passed, the foot will return to its normal position.
   • When Automatic Fabric Sensor System (Automatic Presser Foot Pressure) in the machine settings screen is set to ON, the thickness of the fabric is automatically detected by the internal sensor so the fabric can be fed smoothly for best sewing results.
