Adjusting the Presser Foot Pressure
The pre-set standard presser foot pressure can be used for general sewing work. Reduce the presser foot
pressure for tricot fabric or for loosely knitted fabrics. For firm materials, increase the presser foot pressure.
The presser foot pressure is designed to adjust the pressure of the presser foot optimally to the fabric
thickness. When working with thick fabrics, it is recommended to reduce the presser foot pressure. This
provides the advantage that the fabric can be moved more easily. When the presser foot pressure is set
below 0, the presser foot even lifts to give more space to the thick fabric. When working with thin
fabrics, it is recommended to increase the presser foot pressure. This provides the advantage that the
fabric cannot be moved too easily under the presser foot.
> Turn the knob to the right to reduce the presser foot pressure.
> Turn the knob further to the right to raise the presser foot.
> Turn the knob to the left to increase the presser foot pressure.
