Sewing heavy fabric
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 fabrics 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 lifter. Press the toe of the foot
to the horizontal line 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.
