Sewing Heavyweight Fabrics
The sewing machine can sew fabrics up to 6 mm(1/4 inch)
thick. If the thickness of a seam causes sewing to occur on
an angle, help guide the fabric by hand and sew on the
downward slope.
CAUTION
Do not forcefully push fabrics more than 6 mm
(1/4 inch) thick through the sewing machine. This
may cause the needle to break and cause injury.
If the presser foot lever is in the up position, and you are
sewing heavyweight or multiple layers of fabric which does
not fit easily under the presser foot, raise the presser foot
lever as high as possible by hand to bring the presser foot
to its highest position. The fabric will now fit under the
presser foot.
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 lever.
2. While keeping the black button on the left side of
presser foot “J” pressed in, lower the presser foot lever.
Sewing Lightweight Fabrics
Place thin paper under thin fabrics to make sewing easier.
Gently tear off the paper or the stabilizer for embroidery
after sewing.

3. The presser foot remains level, enabling the fabric to
be fed. After continuing sewing, the presser foot will
return to its normal position.
