The presser foot is a small attachment used to hold the fabric flat as it is fed through the machine during sewing. One should turn off the machine before changing the presser foot and only use the one which is designed for your particular model of the machine.

Depending on the type of the presser foot holder the method of releasing the presser foot will vary (pulling it down vertically or pressing the button at the back of the presser foot)

Upper Tension Control Dial

This dial controls the tension of the upper thread. The tension of the thread will affect the quality of the stitches.

If the upper tension is too tight, loops will appear on the surface of the fabric therefore the tension is reduced by turning the upper tension-control dial to a lower number.

If the upper tension is too loose loops will appear on the back of the fabric therefore the tension is increased by turning the upper tension-control dial to a higher number.
