Sewing thick fabrics

If the fabric does not fit under the presser foot

If the fabric does not fit easily under the presser 
foot, raise the presser foot lever even higher to 
bring the presser foot to its highest position.

If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric does 
not feed at the beginning of stitching

The fabric may not feed when thick seams are 
being sewn and the presser foot is not level, as 
shown below. In this case, use the presser foot 
locking pin (black button on the left side of zigzag 
foot “J”) so that the presser foot remains level 
while sewing, allowing the fabric to be fed 
smoothly.
