Sewing on Heavy Fabrics
The black button on foot A will lock the foot in a horizontal
position if you push it in before lowering the presser foot.
This ensures even feeding at the beginning of seams and
helps when sewing many layers of fabric such as sewing
over welt seams when hemming jeans°
When you reach the point of an increased thickness, lower
the needle and raise the presser fool Press the toe of the
foot and push in the black button, then lower the foot and
continue sewing.
This button releases automatically after a few stitches.
Note: When sewing an edge, select stitch pattern 11.
