Singer XL-400 Other Things You Should Know, Presser Foot Lifter, Feed Dog Control

4. OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

PRESSER FOOT LIFTER

There are three positions for your presser foot.

1.Lower the presser foot to sew.

2.Raise the lifter to the middle position to insert or remove fabric.

3.Lift it to its highest position to change the presser foot or to remove thick fabric.

FEED DOG CONTROL

The feed dogs control the movement of the fabric that is being sewn. They should be raised for all general sewing purposes and lowered for darning, freehand embroidery and monogramming so that you, not the feed dogs, are moving the fabric.

CONVERTING TO FREE-ARM SEWING

Your machine can be used either as a flat- bed or as a free- arm model.

With the extension table in position, it provides a large working surface as a standard flat-bed model.

To remove the extension table, hold it firmly with both hands and pull it off to the left as shown. To replace, slide the extension table back into place until it clicks.

With the extension table removed the machine converts into a slim free-arm model for children’s clothes, cuffs, trouser legs, and other hard-to-reach places.
