Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment
The presser foot pressure is pre-set for sewing on medium
weight fabric. When sewing in different fabric weights,
adjustment might be needed. Generally, decrease the presser
foot pressure when sewing in light weight fabric and increase
it when sewing in heavy weight fabrics. Always test sew on a
sample of your fabric before sewing on your project.
Increase or decrease the pressure in small increments by
turning the presser foot pressure screw.
Less pressure: Decrease the pressure by turning the
adjustment knob in counter-clockwise direction towards the "-".
More pressure: Increase the pressure by turning the
adjustment knob in clockwise direction towards the "+".
Back to standard setting: Turn the adjustment knob until the
distance from the front cover to the "head" of the screw is
10mm (3/8").
Stitch Width Settings
The stitch width can be increased or decreased by changing the
needle position or with the cutting width lever.
Width Adjustment by Changing Needle Position
A) When only the left needle, or when both needles are used
the stitch width is approx. 6mm (¼").
B) When only the right needle is used the stitch width is
approx. 3mm (⅛").
Width Adjustment with the Cutting Width Lever
By fine tuning the cutting width, using the cutting width lever,
adjustments are possible within the range shown below:
When only the left needle is used: 5 - 7mm
When only the right needle is used: 3 - 5mm
Move the lever up and down to adjust the stitch width, "7" is
the widest and "1" is the most narrow setting.
