When sewing heavy or thick fabrics, the toe end of the presser
foot tends to lift up when it comes to seams or other bulky
areas. To sew these heavy or thick fabrics:
1. When the toe of the presser foot begins to tilt up, lower the
needle into the fabric and then raise the presser foot lifter.
2. Push the Stabilizer Pin (located on the right side of the All-
Purpose Foot) and at the same time lower the presser foot
lifter. The presser foot should now be level on the thick
fabric.
3. Start sewing. After a few stitches, the Stabilizer Pin will
release.
a. The presser bar lifter can be raised one step higher for
placing heavy materials under the presser foot easily.
