REGULATING PRESSER FOOT
PRESSURE
The pressure dial regulates the pressure that
the presser foot exerts on the fabric. Correct
pressure is important because it enables the
¡fabric to feed smoothly and evenly, without
being marked.
The NORM (normal) setting is an all purpose
setting that can be used for sewing a wide va­
riety of fabrics of different weights and tex­
tures. Intermediate notched settings above and
below NORM (normal) are also provided. When
you need extra control to sew, regulate the
setting to heavier or lighter pressure to suit
the fabric being used.
Lower the foot before setting pressure.
• To increase pressure, turn dial from NORM
toward MAX.
• To decrease pressure, turn dial from NORM
toward ^ .
• For darning, set dial on ^ .
