Frequently Asked Questions
What does the automatic tie-off feature do? When you reach the end of a seam, you simply press the tie-off button. The machine automatically sews a sequence of locking stitches in place and stops. This keeps your seams from opening up without needing to sew backward, ensuring a professional, clean finish on your garments.
Can I do free-motion sewing on this machine? Yes. You can drop the feed dogs completely by removing the accessory tray and shifting the drop feed lever. This removes the machine's control over fabric movement, allowing you to move your material freely in any direction for darning, thread painting, or stippling.
Does this machine come with a protective travel cover? Yes. The Smarter 260c includes a custom-fitted hard shell plastic cover. This provides excellent protection against impact, dust, and scratches when transporting the machine to sewing meetups or storing it away at home.
