Sewing from the Edge of Thick Fabric
The black button on the zigzag foot locks the foot in the
horizontal position.
This is helpful when you start sewing at the extreme edge
of thick fabrics or for sewing across a hem.
Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where you
want to start sewing.
Lower the foot while pushing in the black button. The foot
is locked in the horizontal position to avoid slipping.
After a few stitches, the black button is released
automatically.
