NEEDLE CONTROL
Needle stops precisely in up or down position

electronically controlled basting or tacking to take the chore out of hand basting.
The other two switches electronically control the needle to stop in either the up
position for general sewing, or in the down position for intricate work.

the next seam is started. The upper
left button is pushed and lighted for
this type of sewing.

the tabnc when you stop (exampte is
