Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment
#22
I adjust mine all the time, depending on how many layers of fabric I'm sewing through and whether or not the top and bottom fabrics feed together correctly. It's good to know that some machines don't allow this adjustment - one more reason to keep sewing on my 40-year-old Kenmore.

Pressure Foot Adjustment
Thanks for the info on the Janome 9400. I recently purchased this machine (love it). Have quilted several baby quilts and had no problem with the pressure of the foot. After reading the post I wondered if I might need to consider adjusting the pressure foot at some point.Always nice to hear advice from another quilting friend.

I didn't realize I could adjust the pressure on my 'newer' machine and had trouble trying to stitch through a thick, fleece, robe belt loop so had to go to my other machine. I then discovered I could adjust this machine and now don't have that problem. It's about the only time I've needed heavier pressure.
