Yes, the VERITAS Marion has an auto-lock function, also known as the automatic sewing function. This function is used to secure the start and end of a seam.
The automatic sewing function makes it possible to lock the start and end of the seam by sewing several times in the same place, creating a knot that secures the seam. This function eliminates the need to sew forwards and backwards several times at the start and end of a seam.
Yes, the thread tension is set using a rotary dial on the top of the machine, the default setting of which is “4”. The correct setting is important for good sewing results and depends on the fabric/stitch combination.

Maintenance
The sewing machine must be disconnected from the power supply for maintenance and cleaning. The throat plate can be removed and the feed dog and bobbin case cleaned with a brush. The hook should be regularly cleaned of lint and thread remnants and lubricated with sewing machine oil (not included! Do not use regular cooking oil!). It is important to maintain the machine regularly to ensure a long service life.
The LCD display and the surface of the machine should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a damp cloth with a little neutral detergent can be used.

The blind stitch foot is a special presser foot that was developed for sewing invisible hems. It is used to sew hems so that the seam on the right side of the fabric is barely visible or not visible at all.
The satin stitch foot is a special presser foot developed for sewing satin stitches and other decorative stitches. It is characterized by a continuous notch on the underside. This notch allows the foot to glide easily over the thickness of the stitch shape created by closely spaced zigzag stitches and to feed the fabric evenly.
