Sewing On The Heavy Fabric - Bernette Chicago 7 Instruction Manual

Sewing on the heavy fabric

The black button on the left side of the presser foot will lock
the presser foot in a horizontal position if you push it in before
lowering the presser foot. This ensures even feeding at the
beginning of a seam and helps when sewing multiple layers of
fabric such as sewing over seams when hemming jeans.
When you reach the point of an increased thickness, lower
the needle and raise the presser foot.
• Press the toe of the foot and push in the black button,
then lower the foot and continue sewing.
The black button releases automatically after sewing few
stitches.
You can also place another piece of fabric with the same
thickness at the back of the seam. Or support the presser
foot while feeding by hand and sewing towards the folded
side.
