What is the Tension Release Lever?
The Tension Release Lever raises the Hopping Foot and releases
the tension on the thread. You can watch the tension disc plates
open as you lift the lever.
NEVER start sewing with the lever up, because there is no tension
on the thread, and the bottom stitches will be huge loops.
How Do I Adjust the Height of the Hopping
Foot for Thicker or Thinner Batting?
Adjustment Screw:
If you are quilting on batting that is thicker than normal, you
might need to raise the Hopping Foot. Loosen the screw
holding the Hoping Foot on, slide the foot up for thicker or
down for thinner. Be sure to tighten the screw after your
adjustment.
The normal height of the Hopping Foot should be
approximately the height of a dime, or three business cards
when the needle is in the down position.
