Adjusting Walking Foot Pressure; Changing Direction; Finishing A Row Of Stitches - Strongarm Walking Foot Sewing machine User Manual

Heavier fabric requires more foot pressure. This is applied by turning the knob on the top of the
machine above the foot and next to the foot lift lever. Insufficient foot pressure is a common
cause of dropped stitches when sewing thick fabric.

Changing Direction.

To change direction while sewing, stop the machine and then turn the wheel so the needle is
in the fabric. Raise the walking foot using the foot lever and turn the fabric to face the new
direction. Lower the foot and continue sewing.

Finishing A Row Of Stitches.

To finish, lock the stitches by reversing and then sewing forward again over the last
centimeter of stitching. Move the wheel by hand so the needle is in the top position. Raise the
foot and remove the fabric. Raising the foot also releases tension on the thread allowing you
to remove your fabric. Cut the thread close to the fabric leaving at least 10cm of thread
remaining in the machine.
