Preparations Sensormatic free-motion (4.0) Activate to set the machine in sensormatic freemotion mode for presser foot 6A. Lower the feed dogs. In sewing mode, press the info button. The sensormatic free-motion icon will be shown instead of the presser foot recommendation. The fabric must be moved manually. When sewing in free-motion at low speed the presser foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the stitch plate while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed, the presser foot Áoats over the fabric while sewing. When turning on the machine, a pop-up informs you that the sensormatic free-motion is active. Pivot height (4.0) Adjust the height of the presser foot when the machine is set for free-motion. In Sensormatic free-motion mode, the fabric should move freely under the presser foot. Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the pivot height will reduce the space between the presser foot and the fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches. Note: Be careful not to reduce the pivot height too much. The fabric must still move freely under the presser foot. Balance When sewing on special fabrics or doing a special technique, the balance may need to be adjusted. Start by sewing a stitch on a piece of scrap fabric. Use the left and right arrow buttons to balance the stitch between -7 and 7. When you sew again, the balance will be adjusted. The changes only affect the selected stitch. The setting will go back to default when you select another stitch. Language Use the left and right arrow buttons to change the language of all text in your machine. Audible alarm Turn all alarm sounds of the machine on or off. Default setting is on. Contrast Adjust the contrast of the graphic display by using the left and right arrow buttons. The value can be set between -20 to 20 in steps of 1. Software version Check the software version for your sewing machine. Presser foot pressure (4.0) In most cases, you do not need to adjust the presser foot pressure. To improve the result when using specialty techniques, adjust the pressure. Use the left and right arrow buttons on the wheel to adjust the pressure. The higher the number, the more pressure on the fabric. The value can be adjusted between 0 and 9 in steps of 0.5. Your manual setting will be cancelled when you turn the machine off. Note: If you want to change the presser foot pressure for an entire sequence, bring the sequence to sewing mode and change the setting there. Automatic presser foot lift (4.0) When selected, the automatic presser foot lift is activated. The presser foot will raise to pivot height for example when stopping with the needle in the down position. When deselected, the presser foot will stay lowered even if the machine stops with the needle in down position. 2:17
