The machine will continue to sew in reverse as long as the reverse button is pressed. * Tacking stitch function for tie-off of other stitches ( ) The sewing machine makes 4 tiny tacking stitches to tie off the sewing on all patterns except straight, zigzag and buttonhole stitches. The position of the tacking stitches will be at the exact spot in the pattern where the reverse/tacking stitch button is pushed. NOTE: This function is very useful for tying off the sewing pattern to avoid raveling at the start and end of sewing. 34
