The Proper Presser Foot
Changing the sole
Pull presser foot shank lever toward you, to
remove the sole. (Fig.46 Step 1) Place desired
sole under shank and lower presser foot
lever onto the sole. (Fig.46 Step 2) Sole
will be locked in automatically. (Fig.46 Step
3)
The All Purpose Foot
This foot (Fig.47) is flat on the bottom and
has a wide hole to accommodate wide
stitches. This foot should be used for all of
your normal sewing so that you can use any
stitch without changing the foot. This foot is
fine for straight stitching. (If fabric is pulled
down with the needle, use left needle position
for more control.)
The Embroidery Foot
This foot (Fig.48) has a wide groove carved
out on the bottom. This groove allows the
foot to pass over dense stitches such as the
satin stitch without catching on the stitch.
It is transparent to make stitch placement
easier. Do not use this foot for normal sewing
of lightweight fabrics. Since it is grooved, it
will not hold the fabric taut enough to
produce a good stitch.
The Straight Stitch Foot
This foot (Fig.49) is flat on the bottom and
has only a narrow hole to accommodate only
straight stitching. It may be used on sheer or
soft fabrics for more control when the all
purpose foot allows the fabric to be pulled
with needle. When using this foot, the needle
position should always be on “M”, and
the width on “O” to avoid hitting the foot
and breaking the needle.
The Buttonhole Foot
This
foot (Fig.50) has a frame. This frame
holds the fabrics taut enough to produce a
good buttonhole.
