10. Sewing
10.1. General information
• Switch on the main switch ().
• When changing the stitch type, always move the needle to its highest
position.
• Push the fabric sufficiently far under the presser foot ().
Make sure there is a length of around cm of upper thread and bobbin
thread behind the needle.
• Lower the presser foot lever (). Holding the thread with your left
hand, turn the handwheel () towards you and lower the needle to the
point on the fabric where you want to start sewing.
• Press the foot control pedal – the further the foot control pedal is
pressed, the faster the machine runs. While sewing, guide the fabric
gently by hand.
• Sew a few reverse stitches by actuating the reverse lever () to fix the
first stitches in place.
TIP
If you are not sure whether the thread tension or stitch type, for example, is
correct, test the settings on a swatch.
The fabric will run through automatically under the presser foot. It should
not be held fast or pulled by hand, but should only be gently guided so
that the stitches go in the desired direction.
10.2. Selecting the right needle
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Using a defective needle can cause damage to the material.
Replace defective needles immediately.
The number indicating the needle thickness is written on the shaft.
The higher the number, the thicker the needle.

down accordingly.
Position : The presser foot presses the fabric onto the feeders, the thread
tension is activated.
You can start sewing.
