Thank you Prism99 and PaperPrincess... this is exactly the info I was looking for. Like I said, the Brother didn't have this adjustment, well it didn't have many adjustments, so I just got used to compensating and working around issues. Great suggestion PaperPrincess on checking the ankle, I didn't think of that. The presser foot pressure had been set at 7 from the factory, and it's the recommended setting for normal stitching... but if my Shelby just likes a little less pressure - so be it.
I got it when I was in AZ over Christmas, but I can ask my local dealer next time I'm in there.
I love being able to tap into the experience and knowledge on this board. Thanks everyone!
