Foot controi
The foot control regulates the speed at
which you sew.
Position the foot control as shown, with
your heel on the floor.
To increase speed, gently press down with
the ball of your foot.
To decrease speed, release your foot
pressure slightly.
NOTE: The foot control is sensitive and
will increase or decrease your
sewing speed immediately.
Practice on a scrap of fabric tO
regulate your sewing speed to
your taste and needs.
For most sewing, the groove in the Feed Balance Dial should
point to the arrow (" _ ").
You may rarely need to adjust the dial. But, if necessary, use
this dial to regulate the feed balance for:
* Buttonholes (See P. 68 for details)
* Any "stretch" stitch such as patterns [] , _]
[] - [] - [] and monogramming
when sewing on very particular fabrics.
