Memo
• Before sewing the straight stitch, rotate the

and pull up the bobbin thread. Holding the
top and bobbin thread, pull a length of
thread out from the rear of the machine. (Be
sure that the presser foot is raised.)
Memo
• For details on each stitch, refer to the
“STITCH SETTING CHART” at the end of
this manual.
CAUTION
• Be sure the needle does not strike a basting
pin, or any other objects, during sewing. The
thread could tangle or the needle could break,
causing injury.
