Easy convenience buttons:
- Easy reverse button: The reverse button allows you to easily backstitch for locking seams. With the tip of your finger, this conveniently located button can also be used to stop a stitch pattern before its completion.
- Locking stitch button: The locking stitch button ties off the end of the thread. No need to backstitch to lock a seam. This is ideal for securing seams on delicate fabrics or when using decorative stitches.
- Needle up/down button. Allows you to keep your needle down when the presser foot lifts for quick and easy pivots.
- One-hand needle threader: Thread the machine up to the needle and then let the built-in needle threader take over to get the thread through the eye of the needle.
- Drop feed: Lowering the feed dogs will drop them below the needle plate. When you sew, the feed dogs will not be used. This technique is used for free motion sewing. The feed dogs will no longer pull the fabric in precise increments. When using free motion, you control the speed and the fabric direction.
- Horizontal top loading rotary hook bobbin with clear cover: The jam-proof bobbin system allows you to get set-up sewing quickly. The clear bobbin cover allows you to monitor the bobbin thread supply
