bTurn the presser foot pressure dial at the back
of the machine to adjust the pressure of the
presser foot.
The presser foot pressure can be set to one of
four levels (between 1 and 4). The larger the
setting, the stronger the pressure. Use setting 1
or 2 for thick fabrics, use setting 4 for thinner
fabrics.
cWhen you are finished sewing, reset the dial to
3 (standard).
Sewing thick fabrics
■If the fabric does not fit under the presser foot
If the fabric does not fit easily under the presser
foot, raise the presser foot lever even higher to
bring the presser foot to its highest position.
■If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric does
not feed at the beginning of stitching
Zigzag foot “J” is equipped with a feature that
keeps the presser foot level.
aSewing direction
aWhen you encounter a seam that is too thick
to feed under the foot, raise the presser foot
lever.
bPress the black button (presser foot holding
pin) on the left side of zigzag foot “J”. Keep
the button held in and lower the presser foot.

XRelease the button. The foot will lock in
place level with the seam, allowing the
fabric to feed.
XOnce the trouble spot has been passed, the
foot will return to its normal position.
