Thanks for reminding me about the presser foot pressure adjustment screw. The machine I learned on had it and I've missed it on the newer machines.
In fact, I think that may be why I got so frustrated working on a wall hanging for #5 son back when he was in HS. The top fabric kept getting pushed ahead of the bottom and it came out all wonky several times. Finally got it so it wasn't too bad.

When my 32 yr old son was about 2 I made him a simple blue & white pieced quilt, twin size & did all of it -including stitch in the ditch quilting on my regular machine with a regular foot. It was all I had & never dreamed of sewing machines that do so, so much!

A lot of the electronic/computer machines may have a special "function" to set pressure, but most of the "good" machines do have the adjustment capability.
