However, if you need to adjust the presser
foot pressure, turn the presser adjusting
screw with a coin.
For sewing very thin fabric, loosen the
pressure by turning the screw counter
clockwise for less pressure on the fabric,
and for heavy fabric, tighten by turning it
clockwise for more pressure on the fabric.

threader down, catching the thread
under the guide.
1b. Push the needle threader all the way

in front of the needle, so the thread
catches into the small hook.
2a. Let the needle threader gently swing
back.
2b. The hook pulls the thread through
the needle eye and forms a loop
behind the needle. Pull the thread
loop out behind the needle.
3. Place the thread under the presser
foot and cut the thread.
Note: The needle threader is
designed to be used for size 70-120
needles. You cannot use the needle
threader for size 60 needles or
smaller, the wing needle, twin needle
or triple needle. There are also some
optional accessories that require
manual threading of the needle.
