what's the official name for that doohickey?
Hey, all- I picked up a nice (but dirty) Necchi 534fb. The pressure foot pressure adjustment knob is broken; when you push the button in the middle down, it pops right back up. I'd like to get a new one, but apparently 'pressure foot pressure adjustment knob' isn't what you really call it. What is it actually called, and does anyone know where I can get one? I would assume they're not OEM anymore, although I'm frequently surprised by what's still available new.

I've always just called it a presser foot pressure adjustment knob....try just sewing machine pressure adjustment if you're searching ebay.
On most of my machines, you push the button to increase pressure & push the outer ring to decrease pressure. And the whole mechanism is screwed on. Are you sure it's screwed on completely? If so, have you unscrewed it & looked down the hole to make sure the spring is still down there....& is not broken.

According to my owner's manual for my Kenmore it's called a pressure regulator. That doesn't necessarily mean that's what it's called on your machine, but it may give you a place to start. Good luck on your parts hunt!

Well, that's one more thing to call it-thanks! I'll add that to the search string and see what I can find.

Although, I doubt that you’ll get much of a return on Goggle with that name.....

Just for fun, I googled Necchi pressure adjustment knob and found this little gem http://freenecchisewingmachinefiles...._nova-mira.pdf. Check out the diagram on page 46.
