Altering Presser Foot Pressure
The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set
and requires no particular re-adjustment according to the type
of fabric (light-or-heavy weight).
However, if you need to alter the presser foot pressure, turn
the presser foot pressure adjusting screw using a coin.
•
For sewing very thin fabric, loosen the pressure by
turning the screw counter-clockwise, and for heavy
fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.
•
To return to initial pressure foot setting turn the presser
foot pressure adjusting screw to become flush with the
face cover.
Raising or Dropping the Feed dog
With the sewing table detached, the feed dog lever can be
located on the back of the free arm.
Sliding the lever to position (b) will lower the feed dog, for
example during button sewing or freehand embroidery.
If you wish to continue sewing normally, slide the lever
•
to position (a) in order to raise the feed dog.
The feed dog will not be raised if you do not turn the
•
handwheel, even if the lever is slid to the right.
•
Make a complete turn to raise the feed dog.
