Turn the presser foot pressure dial at the back
of the machine to adjust the pressure of the
presser foot.
The presser foot pressure can be set to one of
four levels (between 1 and 4). The larger the
setting, the stronger the pressure.
Use setting 1 or 2 for thick fabrics, use setting 4
for thinner fabrics.

When you are finished sewing, reset the dial to
3 (standard).
