• You cannot use any decorative stitch with side feeding, or stitches over 7.0 mm in width. Use fabrics with a thickness of

less than 4mm (approx. 3/16”).

• Special care is required for the pivot pin; Neglectful treatment may cause injury. Young children should

be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the attachment. When attachment is not in use, always

keep the pivot pin in the indicator to avoid its loss.

• We recommend that you use the extension table on

your sewing machine for smooth fabric control.

• Do not raise the extension table when the circular

devise is attached.

• The pivot pin may be released if you hold up the

fabric while attached to the circular attachment.

When holding up the fabric gently press down on the

top of the pivot pin.

• When sewing smaller circles or using fabric with a

grain or uneven textures, a perfect circle may not be

achieved.

• Some of presser feet such as the side cutter cannot

be used with this attachment, always test your

accessory feet with the attachment.

• When using this attachment test the sewing speed

of your machine for the best results.

• When sewing larger pieces of fabric or garments,

make sure that your fabric or garment does not get

caught on the machine creating drag or distortion of

your design.

may hit the pivot pin and damage the pin or the

machines threading mechanism.

• Do not slide the indicator by holding onto the pivot

pin, doing so may cause the pivot pin to bend or

break.

• A stabilizer is always required when sewing on any

fabric or garment to prevent stretching or puckering.

Depending on the type of fabric being sewn, will

determine wether you use permanent, iron on,

temporary or a sticky stabilizer.

• When sewing a small diameter circle, we

recommend that you first pin the fabric to the

attachment and then set the indicator to your

desired size.

• Do not leave the pivot pin inserted in your fabric

and not attached to the circular attachment. To do

so may result in accidental injury or machine

damage.

■ BRAIDING FOOT

You can use a wide variety of braiding up to 5mm in

width, using straight, zigzag and select decorative

stitches.

• This is not an exact count due to the number of

variables i.e. stitch length, fabric used, thread and

the stabilizer. You may be able to adjust the length

of the stitch, depending on the stitch used,

increasing or decreasing to get a closer match so

that your circle closes without overlapping or

shortage (a).

• Always stitch a trial version of the design checking

the stitch length, width and the direction of sewing,

making sure that it is suitable for your project.

• Additional calculations may be necessary if your

pattern overlaps.

• Do not use this foot when sewing with densely

woven braiding that is difficult for the needle to

penetrate easily. Doing so could result in needle

breakage, damage and/or injury.
