Pressure Dial
The pressure dial should be set at “3“ for regular sewing.
Reduce the pressure to “2” for applique, cutwork, drawn
work, basting and embroidery.
Set the pressure to “1” when sewing chiffon, lace,
organdy and other fine fabrics. Velour and knit with a lot
of stretch may also require a “1” setting.
Align the number on the dial with the setting mark.

Presser Foot Lifter
The presser foot lifter raises and lowers your presser
foot.
You can raise it about 0.6 cm (1/4ý) higher than the
normal up position for easy removal of the presser foot
or to help you place heavy fabric under the foot.
