Sewing on Heavy Fabrics
The button 1 on presser foot A locks the foot in a
horizontal position when pushed in while lowering
the presser foot. This ensures even feeding at the
1
beginning of seams and helps when sewing many
layers of fabric, such as welt seams used to hem
jeans.
For best sewing results, always place fabric so you
can sew up and over the seam rather than into the
seam.
When the seam is reached, lower the needle and
raise the presser foot. Press in the button on the
foot while lowering the foot and continue sewing.
Button on foot releases automatically after a few
stitches have been sewn.
