When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may
become misaligned or the fabric may not feed
correctly. If this occurs, place thin paper or
1
stabilizer material under the fabric and sew it
together with the fabric.

The black button on the right side of the
presser foot will lock the presser foot in a
horizontal position if you push it in before
lowering the presser foot.
This ensures even feeding at the beginning
of a seam and helps when sewing multiple
layers of fabric such as sewing over seams
when hemming jeans.
When you reach the point of an increased
thickness, lower the needle and raise the
presser foot. Press the toe of the foot and
push in the black button, then lower the foot
and continue sewing.
The black button releases automatically after
sewing few stitches.
You also can place another piece of fabric
with the same thickness at the back of the
seam. Or support the presser foot while
feeding by hand and sewing toward the folded
side.
