5.9 Height Compensation of uneven layers
If the presser foot is at an angle when sewing over a thick seam, the feed dog cannot grip the fabric and the
sewing project cannot be sewn out properly.
> Place 1 – 3 compensating plates as required from the back of the presser foot close to the needle to level
the fabric layer.
– The presser foot is leveled with the sewing project.
> Place 1 – 3 compensating plates as required from the front of the presser foot close to the needle to level
the fabric layer.
– The presser foot is leveled with the sewing project.
> Sew until the complete presser foot has passed the thick seam.
> Remove the plates of the height compensation.
5.10 Sewing Corners
When sewing corners, only a small section of the fabric is actually on the feed dog. Therefore it cannot grip
the fabric well. By means of the height compensation tool the fabric can be fed evenly.
> When the fabric edge is reached, stop the sewing process with needle position down.
> Raise the presser foot.
> Turn the fabric and place in desired position.
> Place 1 – 3 compensating plates as required on the right of the presser foot close to the sewing project.
> Lower the presser foot.
> Resume sewing until the sewing project is on the feed dog again.
