REGULATING PRESSER FOOT
PRESSURE
The pressure regulator adjusts the pressure
that the presser foot exerts on the fabric. Cor
rect pressure is important because it enables
the fabric to feed smoothly and evenly, without
being marked.
The normal setting is being used when the
pressure regulator is in the middle position.
The normal setting is an all-purpose setting
that can be used for sewing a wide variety of
fabrics of different weights and textures.
Lower the foot before setting pressure
1. To increase pressure, slowly press down on
pressure regulator A until desired pressure
is reached.
2. To release pressure regulator, press down
on the round base B.
