To sew from the edge of thick fabric:

The Black Button on the zigzag foot locks the foot in the horizontal position.

This is helpful when starting sewing from extreme edge of thick fabrics or sewing across a hem.

Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where you wish to start sewing.

Lower the foot while pushing in the black button. The foot will be locked in the horizontal position to avoid slipping.
