It also makes it easier to change the needles and insert band or elastic into the guide on the foot. To swing out: · Raise the needles (Needle stop). · Raise the presser foot and swing it out to the left. To position for sewing: · Push the foot from left to right until it engages. · Lower the presser foot. Note: The machine will not run when the foot is swung-out. An additional safety measure to prevent damage to needle(s) or machine. Note: Cover stitch compensating foot: To prevent damaging the needle points, the cover stitch foot (accessory) should not be swung out. Changing the presser foot 1 2 3 · Raise the needles (Needle stop) · Raise the presser foot. · Press the catch (1) to release the presser foot from the clamp (2) and remove it to the left. To attach the foot, place it under the shaft. The groove in the shaft should line up exactly with the presser foot pin (3). Lower the shank and the presser foot engages automatically. The cover stitch presser foot (compensating foot - accessory) is used together with the seam guide lines on the extension plate and for work where precise guiding is necessary. The cover stitch presser foot consists of a solid centre section and two spring-loaded side sections. The indents on the centre section (1) indicate the needle positions and act as guides. The spring-loaded side sections (2) guide the fabric and prevent sideways movement. Perfect for topstitching hems with elastic, folded edges, seams and ribbings as well as bindings or sewing on lace or elastic. Note: Cover stitch compensating foot: To prevent damaging the needle points, the cover stitch foot (accessory) should not be swung out.
