I made a video about it and put it up here: Sewing Machine Pressure Settings:

I hope this helps :)

Thanks so much for the great video. That went through my mind when I sat down at the machine today, but I could not remember how to change the foot pressure. I think now it is on the side of the machine (it is a pfaff). I am getting out the book tonight and making sure! I am using a poly batt because I had it on hand. I used to use warm and natural but have not sewn in a few years and am just getting back into it. I think I might try it again now that I have some helpful hints from everyone.
