■ If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric does
not feed at the beginning of stitching
The fabric may not feed when thick seams are
being sewn and the presser foot is not level, as
shown below. In this case, use the presser foot
locking pin (black button on the left side of zigzag
foot “J”) so that the presser foot remains level
while sewing, allowing the fabric to be fed
smoothly.

While holding zigzag foot “J” level, hold the
presser foot locking pin (black button on the

Sewing hook-and-loop

CAUTION
Note
z Before starting to sew, baste the fabric and
hook-and-loop together.
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-
and-loop fastener by turning the handwheel and
lower the needle into the hook-and-loop fastener
before sewing. And then, sew the edge of the hook-
and-loop fastener at a slow speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-
loop fastener, replace the needle with the needle for
thick fabrics (page 39).

z If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch)
thick is sewn or if the fabric is pushed
with too much force, the needle may
bend or break.
z Use only the ungummed hook-and-loop
fastener designed for sewing. If the glue
adheres to the needle or the bobbin hook
race, it may cause malfunction.
z If the hook-and-loop fastener is sewn with
a fine needle (65/9-75/11), the needle
may bend or break.
