The relationship of the two feet affects the ability
of the machine to transition from thin to thick
materials. If a foot is getting stuck on the fabric,
adjustment may be necessary. Having the
outside presser foot set at the recommended
maximum height will improve feeding of varied
thickness fabric assemblies.
Generally, for sewing heavy and medium weight
fabrics, the outside presser foot height should
be about 4mm and the height of the inside
presser foot should be at about 2mm.
When the outside presser foot height is
increased, the inside foot lift will decrease
proportionately. Decreasing the height of the
outside presser foot will increase the height of
the inner foot and smooth the sewing/feeding
operation.
To adjust the relationship between the two feet,
lower the presser feet and rotate the balance
wheel until the outside presser foot is in the
upmost position. Next, loosen the screw for the
crank (

) (there are 2 cranks about 4" apart
and either one will make the adjustment). After
loosening the screw, grab the outer presser foot
and manually move it up or down as desired
(set between 2mm and 4mm above the needle
plate). Tighten the screw when done.
