1. Use your machine! The best way to get acquainted with your new machine is to use it!
2. Hearing a buzzing noice when first turning on your machine? The bobbin winder is probably engaged.
3. If you have the space, keep your box! This is the safest place for your machine to travel or be moved.
4. If you are disposing of the box, make sure you removed all accessories out of the packaging! The #3A, Buttonhole Foot, tends to hide nestled in the styrofoam.
#50, Three Sole Walking Foot
Perfect for straight line quilting, for sewing more than two layers of fabric together or for sewing slippery, difficult to handle fabrics. We love this foot for a variety of reasons, and think it should be one of the first
you reach for in a multitude of situations!
