SEWING HEAVY FABRIC
When sewing heavy fabrics, the toe end of
presser foot tends to lift up and sewing can
not be started smoothly. In such case, place
a piece of cardboard or fabric of same thickness
under the heel end of the presser foot.
The presser foot lifter can be raised 1 step
higher for placing heavy materials under
the presser foot easily.
