something I learned the hard way - QUICK RELEASE
I learned about pressure foot quick release tension buttons by accident... I pushed the button and it flipped up - suddenly my machine doesn't pull fabric???? WHAT???????
Ms Egor got her hands on one of the little nuts on the top of a 401 one time and I had to learn to adjust the pressure...
Ms Egor got her mitts on a machine and turn the screw that holds the spring in place and the whole works hit the ceiling all at once... Don't read on if you are faint at heart. nah - just kidding.
There are several kinds of 'releases' for the pressure foot tension. A lot of older machines do not have any quick release they just have a plain old nut up there and you can turn it and set the foot pressure and I'm hoping the pictures all come up this time. If not I'll do them a page or so down.
