CHANGING PRESSER FEET
The presser feet that are supplied with
your machine snap on and off a common
shank. To change the foot:
1. Raise presser foot lifter and turn
handwheel toward you to raise needle
to its highest position.
2. Press toe of presser foot upward (as
far as it will go) and then snap down
to remove the foot.
3. Center the new presser foot under the
shank and lower the presser-foot
lifter so that the shank fits over the
presser-foot pin.
4. Press down on presser-foot screw until
foot snaps into place.
To remove the complete foot (with
shank), as for free-motion darning or
embroidery instructed on page 60,
loosen the presser-foot screw and
remove shank and foot together.
CHANGING NEEDLE PLATES
1. Raise needle to its highest position and
raise the presser-foot lifter (you do not
need to remove the presser foot).
2. Open slide plate with downward finger
pressure. Draw plate toward you,
opening it all the way to raise the
locking pin that holds the needle plate
in place.
3. Place thumb under right side of needle
plate; lift and withdraw plate to the
right.
4. Insert new needle plate under locking
pin and over positioning pin.
5. Close slide plate to lower locking pin
and secure the needle plate.
