3.5 Sew thick areas
> Fit the zigzag foot.
– The black knob on the right-hand side of the presser foot locks the presser foot in a horizontal
position if it is pressed in before lowering the presser foot (1). This ensures even feeding at the
beginning of a seam and helps when sewing multiple layers of fabric such as sewing over seams when
hemming jeans.
> Once the highest point has been reached, lower the needle and raise the presser foot.
> Press the foot tip and the black knob, lower the presser foot and continue sewing.
– The black button releases automatically after sewing few stitches.
