Machine settings & buttons Sewing settings Twin needle Touch the twin needle icon to open a list for twin needle width selections. When a twin needle size is selected, the width of all stitches is limited for that needle size to prevent needle breakage. The setting is kept until you deselect the twin needle width. The stitch width of the selected stitch will automatically be adjusted to fit the twin needle. If you select a stitch that is too wide for the twin needle size, a waring pop-up will appear. Select "off" in the twin needle list to deselect twin needle and go back to normal sewing. Stitch width safety Select this function when using a straight stitch presser foot to lock the needle in center position for all stitches. Stitch width safety will prevent damage to the needle and/or presser foot. When turning on the machine with this setting activated and for every stitch selection that is not a straight stitch, a pop-up informs you that it is set to straight stitch. Deselect stitch width safety to go back to normal sewing. Note: Twin needle and stitch width safety cannot be used at the same time. Presser foot pressure In some cases, you might need to adjust the presser foot pressure. Specialty techniques or thick fabric may require an adjustment. The higher the number the more pressure on the fabric. Automatic presser foot lift 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. Thread snips for sewing When selected, the automatic thread snips is activated. The threads are cut automatically and the presser foot raises when sewing is complete, e.g. a buttonhole. When deselected, no automatic thread snip will be performed. 3:4 List of twin needle width Stitch width safety symbol Twin needle symbol Presser foot pressure control
