the presser
foot

TO REGULATE THE
PRESSURE
ON THE
MATERIAL
ON
THE
MATERIAL
Medium
light weight
fabrics
require
an
intermediate
pressure.
If
sewing
fine
silk or
filmy
fabrics,
lighten
pressure
by
turning
thumb
screw
C,
on top
of
the
machine
over
to
the
left
so
that
it
screws
upward.
It
sewing
heavy
napped
fabrics,
increase
the pressure
by
turning
this
thumb
screw
over
to the
right
so that
it
screws
downward.
The
pressure
should
be
only
heavy
enough
to
prevent
side
creeping
of
the
material
and
still
obtain
a uniform
stitch.
Pile
fabrics
require
a
lighter
pressure
than
their
appearance
of
thickness
would
indicate,
and
stitching
should
be
in the
direction
of the
nap on
napped
fabrics
and
in
the
direction
of
the pile
on
pile
fabrics.
