Operation Manual

a.
Regulating
the
Pressure
on
the
Sewing Fool
There
should
be
just
enough
pressure
on
the
sewing
foot
to
allow
the
fabric
to move
along
easy.
It
is
rarely
necessary
to
change
the
pressure.
The
pressure
is
strongest
when
the
inner
pin
is all
the
way
down,
but
this
strong
pressure
is
seldom required
and
should
be
used
only
for
extremely
thick
and
stiff
material.
When
making
long
stitches
on
several layers
of
thick
material,
you
should
not
press
the
inner
pin
all
the
way
down
as
the
thick
material
by
itself
will
force
the
sewing
foot
upwards
which
automatically
increases
the
pressure.
To
release
the
pressure,
press
down
on
the
outer
ring
to
have
the
inner
pin
go
all
the
way
up.
When
you
need
only
slight
pressure
for
sewing
fine
and
medium
weight
material
you
just
press
the
pin
down
a
short
way
to
leave
it between
the
two
extreme settings,
so
that
it
will
suit
the
thickness of
the
fabric.
This
is
the
normal
setting
most
often
required.
When
working
on
fabrics
such
as
card
and
velvet
which
may
easily
be
marked
by
the
sewing foot,
you
should
always
sew
with
reduced
pressure.
With
the
inner
pin
in
its
highest
position
and
the
feed
dog
lowered,
darning
may
be
done
with
the
normal
sewing
foot
and
without
an
embroidery
hoop
(see
page
33).
