Foot control

The foot control regulates the speed at which you sew.

To increase speed, gently press down with the ball of your foot.

To decrease speed, release your foot pres-

sure slightly.

NOTE : The foot control is sensitive and

will increase or decrease your

sewing speed immediately. Practice on a scrap of fabric to

regulate your sewing speed to your taste and needs.
