How do you tighten presser foot lock on Kenmore sewing machine 158-19412?
This is from the manual I have - Push down on the outer ring of the pressure regulator. (located at the top & left round knob, of the machine) This will release the pressure on the presser foot. To increase the pressure, push down inner pin until a suitable pressure is obtained. Insufficient pressure may cause poor feeding of the fabric, skipped stiches, or difficulty in guiding the fabric. If feed dogs or presser foot marks appear on the fabric, reduce the pressure. When sewing multiple thickness or heavy fabric, reudce the pressure. Increase pressure when sewing lighter weight fabrics.
