REGULATING PRESSURE
The amount of pressure that is applied to the fabric by the presser
foot is adjusted by the pressure cap (1). The upper position gives the
least amount of pressure while the lowest position gives maximum
pressure.
,
To increase the pressure, push down on the pressure cap to obtain
the desired setting. To decrease the pressure, press down on the
snap lock ring (2) to allow the pressure cap to return to its maximum
height. Then reset to the proper pressure.
Normally the pressure cap will be in the lowest position. If the top
layer of fabric tends to push out further than the bottom layer of
fabric, Pressure should be decreased. This often happens on bulky
fabrics, such as wools, and on knits.
