bHold up the presser foot holder with your right hand, and tighten the screw.
With your left hand, turn the screwdriver clockwise.
Note
●If the presser foot holder is not correctly installed, the thread tension will be incorrect.
CAUTION
●Be sure to securely tighten the presser foot holder screw, otherwise the presser foot holder may fall off and the needle may strike it, causing the needle to bend or break.
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.
Note
●Thread the needle manually when using the walking foot, or only attach the walking foot after threading the needle using the needle threader.
