Using Advanced Monogramming

Foot “N+”

This presser foot can be used in the same way as

monogramming foot “N”. We recommend using

advanced monogramming foot “N+” when sewing

fabric that is hard to feed, such as leather and

vinyl.

Memo

• The speed that is set using the sewing speed

controller will be the main foot controller’s

maximum sewing speed.

• When the multi-function foot controller is

connected, the “Start/Stop” button cannot be

used to start sewing.

Note

• In order to avoid stepping on the cord with the

main foot controller, pass the cord between

the tabs.

tabs, and then insert the plug into the jack on

the main foot controller.

Note

• Sew test stitches on the fabric before sewing

your project.

• If character/decorative stitch patterns

become misaligned, make adjustments to the

pattern settings. For details on making pattern

adjustments, refer to “Making Adjustments” in

the Operation Manual (Sewing).

Changing the Start and End

Angles of the Stitch Pattern

(Stitch Tapering Function)

The angles of the start and end of stitch patterns

can be changed. This is useful when sewing

projects with sharply defined angles or decorative

stitching, attaching appliqués, etc.

Use the method for finishing sewing the stitch

pattern, according to your needs.

Keep the product out of the reach of children

to prevent accidental ingestion of small parts.

IMPORTANT

• Touch the LCD screen with the transparent

disc on the fine tipped stylus pen. Using any

other part to touch the LCD screen may cause

scratches.

• Do not pull on the transparent disc, otherwise

damage may result.

Memo

• Touching the LCD screen with the fine tipped

stylus pen at an excessive angle may prevent

the contact position from being correctly

detected.
