Pressure is the force the presser foot exerts on fabric while it is
being stitched.
. Smooth, even handling of several thicknesses of fabric results when
pressure is correctly regulated.
Too light a pressure will result in irregular feeding which affects
both quality of stitch and evenness of seams.
Too heavy a pressure not only affects stitch and seam quality but
will mar smooth surfaces and pile fabrics.
Surface finish, as well as the weight and texture of the fabric, must
be considered in determining the amount of pressure needed.
