When
straight
stitching
with
the
all
purpose
foot, the needle may be moved to get closer
to an edge or to make guiding of the fabric
more
convenient,
as
in
topstitching.
The
needle can also be moved in relation to the
zipper
foot
in
order
to
take
full
advantage
of the feed dog.
Caution:
When
using
the
straight
stitch
foot
use the M position of the needle only.
Adjusting for the Fabric
Feed Dog Control
This lever (Fig. 39) will raise or lower the feed
dog as indicated. Since the feed dog carries
the
fabric
through
the
machine,
this
lever
allows
the
feed
to
be
regulated
for
various
materials and types of sewing.
High:
For the greatest height of the feed dog
and
best
grip
on
the
fabric.
This
is
the
position used for most sewing.
Low:
For
less
height
of
the
feed
dog
and
more gentle hold on the fabric. This position
is used for sewing delicate fabrics.
Down:
In
this
position,
the
feed
dog
is
completely below the needle plate surface and
therefore
does not
move the fabric at all.

Pressure Control
This
control
(Fig.
40)
regulates
how
heavily
the presser foot rests upon the fabric. It is
numbered from 0-5 with .stops at the half-way
points
as
well.
The
higher
the
number
the
heavier the pressure. The lower numbers give
lighter
pressure.
Zero
gives
no
pressure.
Lighter weight fabrics need more pressure for
better hold against the feed, whereas heavier,
bulkier
fabrics
require
less
pressure
to
eliminate pushing on the top layer of fabric.
Normal pressure is 5.
