4.13. Setting the presser foot pressure
Set the presser foot pressure by turning the adjusting dial locat-
ed below the indication [Presser foot pressure].
(Setting range: 0 - 5)
Set the presser foot pressure to “3.6” (initial value) in the case
of standard stitching.
Set the presser foot pressure to a smaller value (decrease the
presser foot pressure) in the case of sewing light-weight syn-
thetic materials or elastic materials, and sewing applique, quilt
and curve sections of materials, since in that case uneven ma-
terial feed is likely to occur.
The presser foot
pressure is decreased.
The presser foot
pressure is increased.
4.14. Setting the micro-lifter
Adjust the presser foot height by adjusting the presser foot pres-
sure value.
Set the presser foot height by turning the adjusting dial located
below the indication [Presser foot pressure].
(Setting range: -2.5 - 0)
In the case it is not necessary to slightly lift the presser foot
during sewing, set the presser foot height for the micro-lifter
function to “0”.
Set the presser foot height by turning the adjusting dial so that
the presser foot appropriately holds the material. The larger the
negative set value becomes, the higher the presser foot can be
lifted.
Place the material (for trial stitching) that is the same with the
material to be actually sewn. Then, adjust the presser foot
height and carry out trial stitching.
Be aware, if the presser foot is lifted excessively during sewing,
the material cannot be fed resulting in thread entanglement.
It is possible to sew the material with the presser
foot slightly lifted according to the material thick-
ness.
The micro-lifter function is used for sewing materi-
als such as quilt and velvet that are likely to cause
uneven material feed.
Micro-lifter lifting height can be changed even
during sewing.
Presser foot pressure
value is decreased.
Presser foot pressure
value is increased.
