How does embroidery foot Q attach?
conditional
Hold embroidery foot Q with an index finger around its rear lever. While pressing the lever, place its bar above the needle-clamp screw, keep the foot vertical, and secure it with the embroidery-foot screw.
Lock all keys and operation buttons, raise the presser-foot lever, use the exact foot Q, and firmly tighten the screw. A wrong or loose foot can cause needle strike and injury. This does not establish a standardized shank class or universal foot compatibility.
Place the correctly wound bobbin so its thread unwinds left, hold it down, guide the thread around the cover tab and through the slit, cut the thread, and replace the bobbin cover.
Lock all keys and operation buttons first and keep the bobbin held down while routing the thread. The source's bobbin symbol is only an orientation reference.
Insert a straight needle with its flat side toward the rear until it touches the needle stopper, then securely tighten the needle-clamp screw.
Raise the needle, lock the controls, and remove or reinstall embroidery foot Q as directed. Tighten securely with the screwdriver without excessive force.
Do not oil this machine as an owner; it is manufactured with the necessary oil.
If the handwheel becomes difficult to turn or unusual noise occurs, stop using the machine and contact an authorized Brother service center. Do not apply oil to the bobbin case.
Unplug the machine, remove the documented parts, and use the cleaning brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove lint and dust from the race, from the bobbin-thread sensor, and from the surrounding area, as the manual directs.
Follow the documented removal sequence; needle-plate-cover removal differs depending on screw presence. Do not oil the bobbin case. Align the case's triangle with the machine's circle mark during reassembly, and replace a scratched or burred case through authorized service.
Which way does the needle face?: Insert a straight needle with its flat side toward the rear until it touches the needle stopper, then securely tighten the needle-clamp screw.
With the flat side of the needle toward the rear of the machine, insert the new needle until it touches the needle stopper.
