14. Presser Foot Adjustment
The machine has an adjustable presser foot that can be set from 0.5mm to 3.5mm above
the needle plate. The presser foot height should be changed when the thickness of the material you are
sewing changes dramatically. To adjust the presser foot height, the software must be open, and your machine
must be on and communicating with it. A hoop with the fabric you will be using should be installed.
1. Adjusting the presser foot is easiest with the needle case moved to needle 16. It is not necessary, but
it makes the adjustment gear easier to see. If the machine is not on needle #16, the gear can still be
accessed. Do not attempt to move the needle case during the following steps.
2. Tap to lower the needle and the presser foot.
3. Locate the presser foot eccentric (gear) behind the needle case.
4. Turn the gear with your ngers to adjust the presser foot height up or down as needed.
5. Set the presser foot height over an unsewn section of the fabric. Set the presser foot so that it is just
touching the material.
6. Once adjusted, conrm through the dialogs onscreen to return the needle to head up.
