Sewing Sensormatic Free-Motion Activate to set the machine in Sensormatic free-motion mode for presser foot 6A or some other sensormatic foot, e.g yarn couching etc. When sewing free-motion at low speed the presser foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed, the presser foot floats over the fabric while sewing. Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser foot height will reduce the space between the presser foot and the fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches. To adjust the presser foot height in Sensormatic freemotion mode, open the Free-Motion options window and change presser foot height by touching + or - to increase or decrease presser foot height. Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much. The fabric must still move freely under the presser foot. Tie-Off Options These options allow you program Tie-Off at the beginning and at the end of a stitch. It is also possible to program Thread Cut at the end of a stitch. When touching the Tie-Off icon, three options open to let you select different functions; Tie-Off Beginning, TieOff End and Thread Cut. Touch Tie-Off to close Tie-Off options window. Your settings are shown under Active features in the information area. Note: For immediate Tie-Off, use the Tie-Off button, found on the front of the machine. Sewing with Tie-Off Options selected • The Tie-Off Beginning will be performed as soon as you start to sew. • Press the Reverse button to perform Tie-Off End. The action indicator lamp will be lit to indicate that the machine will finish the stitch and do the Tie-Off. • When a Thread Cut is programmed, the machine will automatically cut the threads after performing a stitch. The needle and presser foot will raise. Note: Stop sewing and press the Reverse button twice to activate reverse sewing. The reverse indicator lamp will be lit. No Tie-Off will be performed. Press the Reverse button when sewing in reverse to activate Tie-Off End. The action indicator lamp will be lit. To go back to sewing forward, stop sewing in reverse and press the Reverse button. No Tie-Off will be performed. 78 Sensormatic Free-Motion Foot 6A Tie-Off button Reverse button

Sensormatic Free-Motion
Sensormatic Free-Motion Foot 6A
Activate to set the machine in Sensormatic free-motion
mode for presser foot 6A or some other sensormatic foot,
e.g yarn couching etc.
When sewing free-motion at low speed the presser foot
will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric
on the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At
higher speed, the presser foot floats over the fabric
while sewing.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and
down with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the
presser foot height will reduce the space between the
presser foot and the fabric and eliminate the skipped
stitches.
To adjust the presser foot height in Sensormatic free-
motion mode, open the Free-Motion options window
and change presser foot height by touching + or — to
increase or decrease presser foot height.
Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much.
