REGULATING
PRESSER
FOOT
PRESSURE
The
pressure
regulator
adjusts
the
pressure
A
-that
the
presser
foot
exerts

is
important
because
it
enables
the
fabric
to
feed
smoothly
and
evenly,
without
being
marked.

being
used
when
the
pressure

is
in
the

is
an
all-purpose
setting
that
can
be
used
for

a
wide
variety
of

fabrics
of
different
weights
and
textures.
