•Sewing on Heavy Fabrics

Pressing the black button on Foot A (before lowering) locks it in a horizontal position. This ensures even feeding at the beginning of seams and helps when sewing many layers of fabric. When you reach a point of increased thickness, lower the needle and raise the foot. Press in the black button, then lower the foot and

continue sewing. It releases automatically after a few stitches.
