The black button on the right
side of the presser foot will lock
the presser foot in a horizontal
position if you push it in before
lowering the presser foot. 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.
When you reach the point of an
increased thickness, lower the
needle and raise the presser
foot. Press the toe of the foot
and push in the black button,
then lower the foot and continue
sewing.
The black button releases
automatically after sewing few
stitches.
You also can place another
piece of fabric with the same
thickness at the back of the
seam. Or support the presser
foot while feeding by hand and
sewing toward the folded side.
