REVERSE STITCH CONTROL
It is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in reverse. This is called back tacking. Back tacking fastens the ends of the seams firmly and prevents raveling.
When reverse stitching is needed, turn the J control clockwise and hold there during sewing. The fabric will immediately start
feeding backwards and seam will be fastened.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
Push down the outer ring of the pressure regulator. This will release the pressure on the presser foot. To increase the pressure, push down inner pin until a suitable pressure is obtained.
insufficient pressure may cause poor feeding of the fabric, skipped stitches, or difficulty in guiding the fabric. If feed dogs or presser foot marks appear on the fabric, reduce the pressure.
For sewing of medium weight fabric, the inner pin should be pushed all the way down.
When sewing multiple thicknesses or heavy fabric, reduce the pressure with the pin ½ way down.
Light weight fabrics need full pressure, unless feed dog marks are visible on fabric. Reduce slightly to eliminate marks, but retain good feeding.
