Sewing Reinforcement Stitches 

Reverse/reinforcement stitches are generally 

necessary at the beginning and end of sewing. You 

can use the “Reverse/Reinforcement Stitch” button 

to sew reverse/reinforcement stitches manually 

(see page 3). 

If the automatic reinforcement stitch is selected on 

the screen, reverse stitches (or reinforcement 

stitches) will be sewn automatically at the 

beginning of sewing when the “Start/Stop” button 

is pressed. Press the “Reverse/Reinforcement 

Stitch” button to sew reverse stitches (or 

reinforcement stitches) automatically at the end of 

sewing (see page 46).

Sewing Curves

Sew slowly while keeping the seam parallel with 

the fabric edge as you guide the fabric around the 

curve.

Changing Sewing Direction 

Stop the machine. Leave the needle in the fabric, 

and press the “Presser Foot Lifter” button to raise 

the presser foot. Using the needle as a pivot, turn 

the fabric so that you can sew in the new 

direction. Press the “Presser Foot Lifter” button to 

lower the presser foot and start sewing.

When edge stitching a short stitch length close to 

the edge of the fabric, the presser foot may not 

cover enough fabric for proper feeding. Before you 

begin to sew, sew a basting thread at the corner 

point. When you change direction at the corner, 

start sewing as you pull the basting thread toward 

the back.
