Just remember that the goal of the presser foot is to hold the material down to help the needle break free of the fabric and keep the fabric from lifting (flagging). All the way up, down 1 or 2, all the way down, up 1 or 2, whatever, are just guidelines. Set the presser foot according to the material you are sewing on. If you are sewing on fleece or blankets, jackets with thick linings, towels, etc, compress the material with the presser foot, don't just let the presser foot down to touch the top of the material, compress it like squeezing it between your thumb and forefinger......
