Raise the presser foot using the lever. Place the fabric under the presser foot, aligning the edge with the cutting blade. Lower the presser foot. Gently press the foot pedal to begin stitching. Guide the fabric smoothly without forcing it.
2. Adjusting Stitch Length and Differential Feed
The stitch length and differential feed can be adjusted using the dials located on the side of the machine. The stitch length dial controls the length of each stitch, while the differential feed dial helps manage fabric stretch and puckering. Adjust these settings based on your fabric type and desired stitch appearance.

Each thread has an individual tension dial. Proper tension is crucial for balanced stitches. Adjust the tension dials incrementally until the stitches appear even and lie flat on the fabric. Typically, the looper tensions are higher than the needle tensions.
4. Using the Presser Foot
The presser foot holds the fabric firmly against the feed dogs. Ensure the presser foot is lowered before stitching. For thicker fabrics or multiple layers, the presser foot can be lifted higher to accommodate the material.
