Speed
All stitches and embroideries in your machine have a pre-set,
maximum allowed sewing speed to provide a good stitch
result.
The machine will never sew faster than the maximum allowed
sewing speed for the selected stitch/embroidery. Touch the
speed button when the machine is not running and a pop-up
on the screen will indicate the speed setting. You can set the
speed by touching the slider in the pop-up or by touching the
speed button. Each touch of the speed button increases the
sewing speed one step. If the machine is set to maximum
speed, each touch will instead decrease the sewing speed until
minimum speed. Then each touch increases the speed again.
If you change the speed setting while sewing no pop-up will
appear.
Needle Stop Up/Down
Touch needle stop up/down to set the position of the needle
when you stop sewing. The needle will move up or down
when you touch the button. When needle stop down is set, a
needle icon with an arrow pointing down is shown on the
screen.
Tip: You can also tap the foot control to raise or lower the needle once
you stop sewing. Tapping the foot control does not change the set stop
position.
Cut Function
Touch the cut function button and your machine cuts the
upper and bobbin threads, raises the presser foot and needle,
and activates the FIX function for the next start.
To cut threads at the end of a stitch or stitch program, touch
the cut function button while sewing. A scissor icon will flash
on the screen, alerting you that a cut is requested. When the
stitch or stitch program is completed, your machine cuts the
upper and bobbin threads, raises the presser foot and needle,
and activates the FIX function for the next start.
Note: If automatic FIX and selective presser foot lift has been deselected
in temporary sewing settings, FIX function will not be activated and
presser foot will not be raised when using the cut function.
Touch the cut function button when embroidering and your
machine cuts the upper and bobbin threads instantly.
Some optional accessories are attached in the two small
circular holes in the needle plate just above the bobbin cover.
Do not use the cut function when an accessory is attached in
these holes as that may interfere with the automatic thread
cutter located under the needle plate.
Reverse
When reverse is active, the reverse indicator is lit. For
permanent reverse, touch the reverse button once before
starting to sew. The reverse indicator will be lit and the
machine sews in reverse until you touch the button again to

cancel. If you press the reverse button while sewing, the
machine will sew in reverse for as long as you keep the button
pressed.
Reverse is also used when sewing for example manual
buttonholes, darning stitches and tapering stitches to step
between the parts of the stitch.
START/STOP
Touch the START/STOP button to start and stop the
machine sewing or embroidering without using the foot
control. Touch START/STOP to begin and touch again to
stop.
FIX function
FIX is used to tie off a stitch. Touch the button to turn the
function on/off. The indicator next to the FIX function
button is lit when the FIX function is active. When beginning
to sew with FIX function active, your machine sews a few tie-
off stitches and continues with the selected stitch. Touch FIX
while sewing and your machine sews a few tie-off stitches and
stops automatically.
You can activate automatic FIX in settings, see .
STOP function
Touch STOP when sewing to conclude a stitch or stitch
program. Your machine fixes the thread and stops
automatically when the stitch or stitch program has been
completed. Touch STOP before starting to sew and your
machine sews only one repetition of the stitch. Only one
stitch is displayed on the screen. The indicator next to the
STOP button is lit when the STOP function is active. To
cancel the function, touch STOP again or select a new stitch.
The STOP function is cancelled when the stitch is completed.
The STOP function is also used to repeat a sewn length when
sewing tapering, (see ) and when sewing manual buttonholes.
Presser Foot Down and Pivot
The presser foot is lowered automatically when you start
sewing. To lower the presser foot before starting to sew,
touch the presser foot down and pivot button. The presser
foot will be completely lowered and the machine firmly holds
the fabric. Touch presser foot down again to go to pivot
position.
In embroidery mode touch presser foot down to lower the
presser foot to embroidery position.
Presser Foot Up and Extra Lift
Touch the presser foot up button once to raise the presser
foot. Touch again and the presser foot will raise to extra lift
position, and the feed teeth will be automatically lowered to
make it easier to get heavy fabric under the presser foot.
In embroidery mode, the extra lift makes it easier to insert or
remove the hoop.

12 1 Introduction

Presser Feet
Note: For the best sewing results, use only presser feet designed for and
compatible with your DESIGNER SAPPHIRE™ 85 machine.
Utility Foot A
Snapped onto the machine upon delivery. Used mainly for straight stitching and zigzag
stitching with a stitch length longer than 1.0mm.
Decorative Stitch Foot B
For sewing close zigzag stitches (satin stitches) with less than 1.0mm stitch length,
other utility stitches or decorative stitches, use this foot. The tunnel on the underside of
the foot is designed to feed smoothly over the stitches.
Buttonhole Foot C
For manual buttonholes. This foot has guidelines to determine buttonhole length. The
middle measures ⅝″ (15mm) from the fabric edge. The two tunnels on the underside
of the foot ensure smooth feeding over the buttonhole columns. The finger on the
back of the foot holds cording for corded buttonholes.
Blindhem Foot D
For blindhem stitches. The inner edge of this foot guides the fabric. The right toe of
the foot is designed to ride along the hem edge.
Zipper Foot E
This foot can be snapped on either to the right or to the left of the needle. This makes
it easy to sew both sides of the zipper. Move needle position to right or left to sew
closer to zipper teeth or for covering large cording.
Non-Stick Glide Foot H
This foot, with a non-stick coating underneath, is used when sewing foam, vinyl, plastic,
or leather to keep these materials from sticking to the foot.
Edging Foot J
Used for overcasting and seam/overcasting, with stitches that have a stitch width of 5.0
and 5.5mm. Stitches form over the pin which prevents puckering at the edge of the
fabric.
Quilter’s ¼″ Piecing Foot P
Used when piecing quilt blocks. The foot has distance guideline marks ¼″ (6mm) and
⅛″ (3mm) from the needle.
Sensor Q-Foot
The Sensor Q-Foot is recommended for hoop embroidery.
This foot is also used for free motion sewing, free motion quilting and free motion
embroidering. When using the Sensor Q-Foot for free motion, select free motion
spring action in the free motion options pop-up in sewing mode.
1 Introduction 13

Embroidery/Darning Foot R
Used for free motion embroidery, free motion quilting, free motion stitching and free
motion darning. When using this foot, select free motion floating in the free motion
options pop-up in sewing mode.
This foot can also be used for hoop embroidery.
Side-Motion Foot S
Used for side-motion/omnimotion stitches.
Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot
Plug into the machine then enter the desired buttonhole length to sew sensor one-step
buttonholes. The middle mark measures a ⅝″ (15mm) from fabric edge.
Self-Adhesive Glide Plates
If sewing on foam, vinyl, plastic, or leather, the material can stick to the foot and
prevent the sewing machine from feeding properly. When using any of the above
materials, sew on a piece of scrap fabric, to make sure the machine feeds smoothly. If
not, fasten the self-adhesive glide plate to the underside of the presser foot.
Interchangeable Dual Feed
The Interchangeable Dual Feed Foot with changeable presser feet is designed to feed
layers of fabric and/or batting evenly. It is perfect for quilting, sewing velvet, stretch
fabrics, imitation leathers and fabrics that need precise pattern matching. Snap on the
Changeable Straight Stitch Foot when using the straight stitch in the center needle
position with a stitch length up to 6mm. Snap on the Changeable Zigzag Foot when
selecting stitches up to 7mm wide and 6mm long.
