REGULATING PRESSER FOOT
PRESSURE

The pressure regulator adjusts the pressure
that the presser foot exerts on the fabric. Cor

rect pressure is important because it enables

the fabric to feed smoothly and evenly, without

being marked.

The normal setting is being used when the

pressure regulator is in the middle position.

The normal setting is an all-purpose setting
that can be used for sewing a wide variety of
fabrics of different weights and textures.

Lower the foot before setting pressure

1. To increase pressure, slowly press down on

pressure regulator A until desired pressure
is reached.

2. To release pressure regulator, press down

on the round base B.
