9-7. Presser foot adjustment
Turn the pulley by hand to lower the presser foot to the down position, and then proceed with the steps below.
1. Loosen screw (1), set the bottom of the presser foot
(2) lightly against the work piece, and then tighten
screw (1).
Note
If the presser foot is lowered too far, the work piece will
shift when sewing. Also, if the presser foot is too high,
skipped stitches may occur.
2. Turn the pulley by hand, and make sure the needle
enters the center of the needle hole in the presser foot
(2). If the needle is not aligned with the center of the
needle hole, remove cap (3), loosen screw (4), and
turn the presser foot (presser bar) to adjust.
If the needle projects past the presser foot
when the presser foot is raised, injury may
result.

Simply press in on the pulley (1) to turn it by hand. To
turn the pulley, press lever (2) down.
After turning the pulley by hand, be sure to press
