Needle, thread, fabric feed

Feed-dog and fabric feed with compensating plates
The feed-dog can work
normally when the foot is level.
Thick fabrics: feed-dog and sewing corners
If the foot is at an angle, e.g.
when sewing over thick to thin
or vice-versa, the feed-dog
cannot grip and feed the fabric
and the fabric hangs up.
The gap between the two rows
of teeth is relatively large due
to the width of the stitch plate
hole.
When sewing corners only a
small section of the fabric is
actually on the feed-dog so
that it cannot grip the fabric
well.

Uneven layers
To solve this problem, place
one, two or three compensa-
ting plates as required behind
the needle under the presser
foot.
To correct the height in front of
the foot, place one or more
plates to the right of the foot
close to the needle. Sew until the
foot is level again and remove
the plates.
Correct this by placing one
or more compensating
plates as close as possible
to the edge of the fabric.
