Note

If the presser foot holder is not correctly installed, the thread tension will be incorrect.

Using the optional walking foot

With the optional walking foot, both pieces of fabric

are fed evenly by the feed dogs and the teeth on the 1 presser foot. This is useful when sewing fabrics that

are hard to feed such as vinyl and leather and when sewing fabrics that easily slip such as velvets or when quilting.

Use the screwdriver to attach the walking foot.
