Adjusting the presser foot pressure

The presser foot pressure is designed to adjust the pressure of the presser foot optimally to the fabric
thickness. When working with thick fabrics. it is recommended to reduce the presser foot pressure. This
provides the advantage that the presser foot is slightly lifted so that the fabric can be moved more easily.
When working with thin fabrics, it is recommended to increase the presser foot pressure. This provides
the advantage that the fabric cannot be moved too easily under the presser foot.
