• General Sewing
For normal sewing, except when sewing on very
heavy and bulky fabrics, the center pin (A) of
the pressure control should be at its lowest posi­
tion, with the feed dog height at the UP position,
obtained by pressing the part of the feed
dog height button to the right of the rotary
hook. For special fabrics, as mentioned above,
reduce the pressure by half. To do so, press the
outer ring (B) of the pressure control, then press
the centre pin (A) down again, to the half-way
position.

on the feed dog height button so that the feed dog drops well below the needle plate. To
