Drive & Feed System
DC Motor & Differential Feed
Powered by a high-torque DC motor with 5-step presser foot pressure adjustment and upper knife drive from below for smooth fabric control. Differential feed ensures wave-free seams in knits and prevents puckering in fine fabrics.

The FHS knee lifter raises and lowers the presser foot, keeping both hands free to guide and position your fabric as you sew.
