Hold up the presser foot holder with your
right hand, and tighten the screw.

clockwise.

installed, the thread tension will be

Using the optional walking
foot
With the optional walking foot, both pieces of fabric
are fed evenly by the feed dogs and the teeth on the
presser foot. This is useful when sewing fabrics that
are hard to feed such as vinyl and leather and when
sewing fabrics that easily slip such as velvets or
when quilting.
Use the screwdriver to attach the walking foot.
Note
● Thread the needle manually when using the
walking foot, or only attach the walking foot
after threading the needle using the needle
threader.
