Stop/Start button
No need to have you foot control plugged in to sew. Simply select your desired stitch, lower your foot and push the stop/start button and when you have finished just push the button again and the machine will stop sewing.
Speed Limiter
Adjust the speed of sewing to suit you needs. If you are a beginner and just want to take things easy or you are doing something more intricate, you can slow the machine down and no matter how heavy you press on the foot control it will only stitch out at the speed you have set the machine to. The machines has a top sewing speed of 700 stitches per minute.
Needle Up/Down Control
Simply press the needle up/down button to lower the needle and you can start sewing and finish with the needle in the down position, which allows you to raise the foot and turn your fabric easily.
