REGULATING PRESSER FOOT
PRESSURE

The pressure dial regulates the pressure that
the presser foot exerts on the fabric. Correct

pressure is important because it enables the

¡fabric to feed smoothly and evenly, without

being marked.

The

NORM

(normal) setting is an all purpose

setting that can be used for sewing a wide va­

riety of fabrics of different weights and tex­

tures. Intermediate notched settings above and

below

NORM

(normal) are also provided. When

you need extra control to sew, regulate the
setting to heavier or lighter pressure to suit
the fabric being used.

Lower the foot before setting pressure.
