Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Sewing Advisor cards work? Match your fabric weight and technique on the pop-out cards and they show the recommended presser foot, stitch length, stitch width, and thread tension settings.
Can I sew stretchy knits without popping threads? Yes. Dedicated stretch stitches expand with elastic knit fabrics, preventing seam popping when garments are worn.
Is free-motion embroidery or stippling easy on the Onyx 25? Yes. Disengage the feed dogs with the drop-feed switch, attach a free-motion presser foot, and guide fabric in any direction for stippling, darning, or thread painting.
