Push down outer ring of presser foot pressure regulator

foot. To increase pressure, push down inner pin until
suitable pressure is obtained.
For ordinary sewing, the inner pin should be about half
way down. When sewing multiple thickness or heavy
material, reduce the pressure: Increase it when sewing
sheer fabrics.
Insufficient pressure may cause skipped stitches or dif-
ficulty in guiding the fabrics. If feed dog or presser foot
marks appear on the fabric, reduce the pressure.
