The extension can be easily removed for free arm sewing. Free arm sewing is good for circle areas like sleeves, waistbands and pant legs. If socks, knee or elbow areas need mending, the free arm will be best to use. Pull the end of the extension table away from the machine, as shown in the drawing. Push the table back into place to reattach the extension table. Accessory Box The extension table is also a storage box. Pull the door open to see the storage space. Centimeter/Inch Measurements Use this handy tool located on the lower portion of the front of the machine for quick measurements. Circular Sewing Pivot Points The extension table has holes that are 1 cm apart from each other. Use the holes to sew circles and scallops with the optional pivot pin. Foot Pressure Dial Set the pressure dial at "2" for regular sewing. Depending on the weight of your fabric, you may need to increase (higher number) or decrease (lower number) the pressure. 4 PDFMAILER.DE Additional Presser Foot Clearance You can raise the presser foot higher than the normal up position for easy removal of the presser foot or to place heavy fabrics under the presser foot.

When attaching, place shank on needle bar. Lower the presser foot lever. Turn thumbscrew clockwise to tighten. 5 PDFMAILER.DE Seam Allowance Lines The lines on the needle plate help you measure seam width.
