Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment
Does anyone ever adjust it?
|
I do, when I'm machine quilting I adjust to keep it much looser so that the quilt will move easier as I free motion.
|
Yep, for fmq and ruler work (novice learner here with both of these).
|
Yes. If I have many layers of fabric to sew through (such as with purses or bags), or a very fluffy batting, I will adjust the pressure.
|
Yes, I do in order for the pressure to fit the project I'm working on. However, with my new machine, I was told not to do that. It's suppose to adjust automatically...but I really need some control over it. So, I'll get on the Naughty List because I do fiddle with it.
|
I loosen the pressure to do FMQ and to machine sew binding onto the front of quilts. Any other time it needs to be adjusted.
|
My Bernina 1230 does not allow for presser foot adjustment, so I never do it. Have not needed it either. I have adjusted the pressure in some of my vintage machines -- usually to loosen it so both fabrics feed evenly under the foot.
|
I learned to use the presser foot pressure adjustment on my first Bernina. I really like how it makes it easy to sew on different fabrics and thicknesses.
|
Yes. For thick projects.... hemming geans, quilt sandwiches, binding.... if the project seems to be dragging.
|
With my Janome 6600 I had to constantly adjust the pressure foot pressure
specially when sewing over thick seams and for quilting. Now that I'm using the Janome 9400 I don't have to. It seems to do it automatically. Sewing over thick seams is a dream. |
