I've done a little more detail clean-up of this machine (removing the oxidized oil residue on the lower needlebar [visible in these photos as that orange color above the foot], finger debris [yuck] in the knurling of the stitch-length indicator and handwheel clutch, etc.) which turned my attention to something I usually ignore - and probably shouldn't - the pressure adjustment. On this machine, it was turned down all the way to its tightest position. This has to put a lot of unnecessary stress on the motor in the same way that a tight belt will. Any suggestions on how to determine the correct setting for the presser-foot pressure? I loosened it to the point where fabric can be pulled out from under the foot, but it takes a good tug. Suggestions?
