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.

turn dial from
NORM
toward
MAX.
