Clearance Between Presser Feet

the outer presser foot at the end of feeding, the
needle should be positioned in the center of the
feed dog hole. Rotate the balance wheel so the
inner presser foot is at its furthest back position,
toward the outer presser foot
two presser feet should not touch. Now rotate
the balance wheel so the feed dog is as far

foot). The needle should be centered in the feed
dog hole.
