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.
