Know What the Presser Feet Will Do

• Check the Presser Foot

The presser feet are an important feature ot this machine. You need to know

what each foot does in order to use them effectively.

Your presser toot is held in place by a toot holder. Each presser toot merely

snaps on the toot holder, which is seldom removed.

If you need to remove or attach the toot holder, here is what you do:

with the threaded hole in the

presser bar.

2. Fit the toot holder screw into the

hole.

3. Tighten the screw by turning it

toward you.

14

• Change the Presser Foot

Use the correct presser toot tot the stitch you wish to sew. Consult the Stitch

Pattern Chart and the detailed directions for sewing with the various presser

feet.
