Note
If automatic thread cutting and automatic reverse/reinforcement
stitching are turned on before you start sewing, pressing just the
start/stop button automatically sews reverse stitches before
sewing. In addition, pressing the reverse/reinforcement stitch
button at the end of the stitching automatically sews reverse
stitches, trims the threads and stops the machine.
2. Spread out the fabric along the seamline.
