Memo
•
You may find adjusting the “Presser Foot
Pressure” in the settings screen helpful on some
thick fabrics.
•
(For models equipped with Automatic Fabric
Sensor System)
When “Automatic Fabric Sensor System” in the
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. For details on the automatic fabric
sensor system,
refer to “Automatic Fabric Sensor
System (Automatic presser foot pressure)” in the
“Basic operations” section.
CAUTION
•
If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch) thick is
sewn or if the fabric is pushed with too much
force, the needle may bend or break.
