| Friday Fun Fact! Does your sewing machine have adjustable presser foot pressure? Not all machines can adjust how firmly the presser foot presses down, but if yours can, you should be taking advantage of it! Where to find it: Look on the top or side of your machine. Don't confuse this with the tension dial! When in doubt, check your manual. This Husqvarna (top) has the presser foot pressure dial on the front of the machine. This Singer (center) has it on top and this Bernina (bottom) has the dial on the side. The higher the number, the stronger the pressure. In general, Heavy fabrics = less pressure Light fabrics = more pressure When to adjust: - The fabric slips and slides away from under the foot (+ pressure) - The fabric is not feeding and you have to push it through (- pressure) - You're getting a "potato chip" edge on knits (- pressure) |
