Presser Foot Height Adjustment
Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment
The presser foot pressure adjustment dial has been preset at
the factory and rarely needs adjustment. You may find it
necessary, however, to decrease the pressure for heavy
fabrics or increase pressure for thin fabrics to feed more
smoothly under the foot.
To increase pressure, turn the presser foot pressure adjust-
ment dial forward.
To decrease pressure, turn the presser foot pressure adjust-
ment dial toward you.
The presser foot pressure dial can be adjusted from 0, least
amount of pressure, to 9, highest amount of pressure. The
standard pressure setting is 5.
The presser foot height adjustment dial actually has two
functions - straight sewing or curved sewing. This dial is locat-
ed on the left side of the machine.
The straight sewing position is for straight sewing only.
The presser foot lies on top of the fabric and the feed dog pulls
the fabric through much like a standard sewing machine. (See
page 25 )
The curved sewing position allows for ease of fabric rotation
or movement. When the needle penetrates the fabric the
presser foot will raise slightly so fabric can be easily
manipulated. (See page 26 )
Suggestions for the dial settings are:
0 – Straight sewing
1 – Curved sewing for lightweight fabrics
2 – Curved sewing for medium weight fabrics
3 – Curved sewing for heavy weight fabrics or
fabric with batting
