Presser Foot Height
To adjust the presser foot height, the machine must be turned on and Bravo OS must be launched. A
hoop with fabric must also be installed. You can set the presser foot height in the middle of a design.
If you set the presser foot height over a sewn section of the design, set the presser foot so it barely
touches the stitching.
If you set the presser foot height over a bare section (unsewn) of the fabric, set the presser foot so that
it comes close to the fabric but does not touch it (leave a gap between the fabric and the presser foot
roughly equal to the thickness of the thread). Always set your presser foot to allow for the highest point
in the design. You can adjust the presser foot height at anytime in the design as long as the machine is
stopped and the current needle is taken to bottom dead center.
Presser foot height may vary slightly with each machine and with each operator. It will be dependent on
many variables such as thread type and thickness, fabric, needles, and operator preference. The ideal
setting on presser foot height is so that the presser foot just touches the fabric at the point where the
needle begins the upstroke (it starts to move back up).
1. Click the Bottom Center button in the Head Timing tab to take
the needle to bottom dead center.
2. Use the presser foot adjustment eccentric located behind the
needlecase and adjust the presser foot height up or down as
needed. It is recommended that the presser foot is set at this
point to where it just touches the fabric.
3. Click the Head Up button in the software Head Timing menu.
Close the Maintenance menu screen in the software by clicking
on the OK button (Figure 1).
