Adjusting the foot pressure according to the type of fabric you want to use will give you the optimum amount of control over very sheer or thick fabrics. All it takes is making slight adjustments to a screw located on top of the machine. Making such adjustments also gives you better control when operating the machine at high speed.

The tension dials for both needles and the upper and lower loopers are conveniently located on the front of the machine. It’s never been easier to set the correct tensions for whatever type of fabric you’re working on.
