Sewing with the Dual Feed Device

Machine settings
Pattern: D1
Thread tension: AUTO
Presser foot: Dual feed foot AD
Foot pressure: 7
NOTE:
Patterns number D1, D2, D3 and D4 can be sewn with
the dual feed device.
The dual feed device is extremely effective for sewing
with hard to feed material such as vinyl or leather. It also
eliminates layer slippage.
NOTE:
See page 25 for how to attach the dual feed foot and to
engage the dual feed device.
Sewing
Raise the presser foot and position the fabric next to a
seam guide on the needle plate. Lower the needle at the
point where you wish to start.
Pull the needle and bobbin thread toward the rear.
Lower the presser foot.
Start sewing at medium speed. Gently guide the fabric
along the seam guide letting the fabric feed naturally.
When seaming plaid fabrics, match the plaids of the
upper and lower layers and pin them together.
Dual feed adjusting dial
The dual feed adjusting dial should be set at "0".
However you may need to adjust the dual feed balance
with this dial since the effect of the dual feed varies
depending on the type of fabric.
Test sew on scrap piece of the fabric you intended to sew
to check the feed balance.
(A): If the lower layer puckers, turn the dual feed
adjusting dial toward "+".
(B): If the upper layer puckers, turn the dual feed
adjusting dial toward "–".
1 Upper layer
2 Lower layer
3 Dual feed adjusting dial
Set the dual feed adjusting dial to 0 when dual feed
mechanism is not used.
NOTE:
Reducing the foot pressure will also improve the feed
balance.
