■Sewing
aPosition the fabric (reverse side facing up)
under the presser foot. Lower the needle
3 mm (approx. 1/8 inch) from the edges of the
fabric, lower the presser foot, then sew 2 or 3
stitches.
a3 mm (approx. 1/8 inch)
bRaise the needle and the presser foot, then
hold the ends of the upper thread and lower
thread to prevent them from being pulled out
of the fabric and pull the fabric out from the
front of the presser foot.
cHolding both threads, pass them through the
curled part of the presser foot and pull them
toward the back of the presser foot. Wrap the
fabric around the curled part of the presser
foot in the same way. Position the edge of the
fabric just behind the needle and lower the
presser foot.
dWithout allowing the fabric to stick out from
the right side of the presser foot, lightly pull
on the thread while slowly sewing.
eAfter sewing 2 to 3 cm (approx. 1 to 1-3/16
inches) of the fabric, release the thread and
guide the fabric from the front of the presser
foot with your left hand. Keep a uniform
amount of fabric wrapped around the presser
foot curl until the seam is completed.
■Hints
• If too little fabric is wrapped around the curl
and a threefold seam is not being sewn:
Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the left in
order to increase the amount of fabric wrapped in
the presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully
guide the fabric to the right with your left hand.
• If too much fabric is wrapped around the curl
and a wide threefold seam is being sewn:
Pull the fabric held in your right hand to the right in
order to decrease the amount of fabric wrapped in
the presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully
guide the extra fabric to the left with your left hand.

Using the Embroidery Foot “W2” with LED Pointer
Included Embroidery foot with LED pointer indicates the needle position with a red LED point.
The LED pointer shows you the location of the needle penetration so that it is easier to adjust the embroidery
position.
Before beginning to embroider when using the embroidery foot “W2” with LED pointer, carefully read “Attaching
Embroidery foot W2” instructions, described in the “Embroidery” chapter of the Instruction and Reference Guide
included with your machine.
Checking the Needle Drop Point With
the Embroidery Foot “W2” with LED
Pointer

side of the screen while the embroidery foot “W2” with
LED pointer is attached to your machine.
aAfter the embroidery frame is attached, press
in the embroidery screen.
→The LED pointer indicates the needle drop point.
* The LED pointer turns off automatically by lowering the
presser foot or returning to the previous page.
Adjusting the LED Pointer
Adjust the LED pointer if it indicates a point different
than the actual needle drop point.
Before adjusting the LED pointer, mark the actual
needle drop point on the fabric to be embroidered, and
then hoop the fabric and attach the embroidery frame.
aPress .
→The settings screen appears.
bPress .

cDisplay page 8 of the Embroidery settings
screen.
Memo
• When the LED pointer is turned on, the presser foot
height is automatically adjusted according to the
fabric thickness.
• If is pressed again, the fabric thickness is
remeasured and the presser foot is set to the
optimum height.
• If the embroidery foot “W2” is not attached,
appears in gray.
Note
• With thick elastic fabric, the position will be
misaligned only at raised parts in the fabric. In this
case, manually adjust the position according to the
thickness of the fabric.
• With fabric that has a very uneven surface such as
quilting, the position is not correctly aligned. In this
case, the pointer indication should be used only as a
reference.
