The 'foot' - a metal plate surrounding the needle - that 'mates' with a set of teeth in teh base of the machine.. This grips & releases the fabric while the power is applied.
The presser foot grabs the fabric and pulls it through.

The presser foot, a component of a sewing machine, holds the fabric against the feed dogs. It applies downward pressure to ensure that the fabric moves smoothly as it is fed through the machine, allowing for even stitching. The tension settings and the type of presser foot used can also influence how well the fabric is held in place during sewing.
holds the fabric while sewing. :)
The lever lifts the presser foot to remove the fabric after stitching.
The "presser foot" secures the fabric when it is being sewed and helps feed it through evenly so that the stitches are even and aligned.
A pivot stitch is a sewing technique used to change the direction of stitching without lifting the presser foot. To execute it, the needle is lowered into the fabric at the desired pivot point, the presser foot is lifted, and the fabric is turned to the new direction before lowering the presser foot and continuing to sew. This method is especially useful for creating precise corners and curves in various sewing projects. It helps maintain the alignment of the fabric and ensures clean, sharp turns.
When you stop sewing, leave the needle in the fabric, raise the presser foot, and spin the cloth around. When you lower the presser foot, you begin sewing in the same place where you left off, but you are now sewing in a different direction.
its when you lower the presser foot on to the fabric hit switch on the reverse feed button and slowly move the fabric into a bed of rainbows a unicorns.

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.
The presser foot holds the fabric in place when you stitch. There are several different types of presser feet depending on what you are sewing. There is a different one for putting in zippers and another for sewing on buttons. The list could go on quite extensively.
