ADJUSTING PRESSURE AND FEEDING OF FABRIC
General Sewing. Usually for normal sewing the pressure bar cap or darner release
(Fig. 19) is at its lowest position and the drop feed knob is turned to "HIGH” position(Fig. 18)
Sewing regular weight fabrics. When lighter pressure is required to sew satisfactorily on
bulky, heavy material, the pressure cap should be about halfway down. Release all
the way by pressing the snap lock (A, Fig. 20) , and then press cap(B) down again to
halfway spot. To sew thin, lightweight fabrics lower the feed slightly by turning the
knob to " low ” position.

below the needle plate. To the return feed to
