The Enlighten has the convenience of a snap-on presser foot.
To Release:

3. Raise the needles to the highest position.
4. Push the presser foot release lever located at the back of the
presser foot holder.
5. Carefully turn the presser foot clockwise 90 degrees.
6. Slide the presser foot to the rear to remove.
To Replace:
1. Raise the presser foot lever.
2. Lower the cutting blade.
3. Raise the needles to the highest position.
4. Slide the foot from the left to right.
5. Align the bar of the foot with the groove in the holder.
6. Lower the presser foot lever to snap into place.
The presser foot that comes with the Enlighten has a tape sewing
slot. Insert the tape or ribbon, into the slot in the front of the foot,
then under the sole of the foot. (page 41 for more instruction)
The raised markings on the toe of the foot are seam line guides.
They indicate the needle positions to help guide your fabric for
accurate seaming.
The presser foot pressure has been preset at the factory and
rarely needs adjustment. You may find it necessary, however, to
decrease the pressure for thick fabrics or increase pressure for
thin fabrics to feed more smoothly under the foot. Use a coin to
turn the screw on top of the machine.
To increase pressure, turn the pressure adjusting screw clock-
wise.
To decrease pressure, turn the screw counterclockwise.
When no trimming is desired, as when stitching on a fold, flip the
cutting blade lock switch clockwise to the LOCK position. The
cutting blade no longer moves up and down, but remains in its
lowered position. To re-engage the cutting blade, turn the cutting
blade lock switch half of a turn counter-clockwise. The blade will
start moving automatically when you start sewing.
