● Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the
needle does not touch the zipper foot
before you start sewing. Choosing a
different stitch will cause the needle to
hit the presser foot and break, and you
may be injured.
● Make sure the needle does not hit the
zipper during sewing. If the needle hits
the zipper, the needle may break and
you may be injured.
