Adjusting Pressure

Dial

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 marred. The numbered settings on the

pressure dial will assist you in obtaining the correct pressure for the fabric

you are using. Generally, heavier fabrics and fabrics of knit and stretch
construction require a high number setting (heavier pressure); lightweight
fabrics, a lower setting (lighter pressure). But fabric texture must also be

considered. Soft fabrics, for example, require less pressure than crisp

fabrics.

When darning without an embroidery hoop, you should set the dial at the

lowest setting, D. See page 51 for instructions.

Lower the presser foot before setting pressure.

• To increase pressure, turn dial to higher number.

• lo decrease pressure, turn dial to lower number.

• For darning, set dial on D.
