Setting the Presser Foot Pressure
The presser foot pressure is designed to adjust the pressure of the presser foot optimally to the fabric
thickness. When working with thick fabrics, it is recommended to reduce the presser foot pressure. This
provides the advantage that the fabric can be moved more easily. When the presser foot pressure is set
below 0, the presser foot even lifts to give more space to the thick fabric. When working with thin
fabrics, it is recommended to increase the presser foot pressure. This provides the advantage that the
fabric cannot be moved too easily under the presser foot.
