Dan,
Oh yea....presser foot adjustment. The job of the presser foot is to hold the
material down until the needle breaks free on it's initial up-stroke.
The only other thing to be aware of when setting presser foot heigth is the
type of material you are sewing on. If it is leather, suede, velour, velvet,
etc...and if the presser foot is leaving a footprint from battering the
material, then raise it a notch or so and slow down the machine a bit.
For most materials that you will be sewing on, including caps (XT ONLY) all the
way down and up two clicks is the norm. Running too high of a speed on too
thick of a material with the presser foot too low may even result in cutting of
the material from the battering taking place.
Sweatshirts or anything with loft to it, needs to be "Compressed" by the
presser foot, not just touching the top of it. Think of taking the material
between your thumb and forefinger and squeezing all of the air out of it...same
thing with the presser foot....
Just remember the job of the presser foot is to HOLD that material DOWN until
the needle breaks free from the material on the upstroke. If the material is
allowed to lift, called "flagging", then thread breakage and fraying is a sure
result.
