Istruzioni per l'uso

Once installed, the feed dog works in conjunction with the presser foot to move fabric evenly under the needle. Ensure the feed dog is engaged for standard sewing. For certain techniques like free-motion quilting or darning, the feed dog may need to be lowered or covered, depending on your machine's features.

• Posizionamento del tessuto: Place your fabric under the presser foot, ensuring it rests directly on the feed dog teeth.
• Inizio a cucire: Lower the presser foot. The feed dog will grip the fabric and move it forward as you sew.
• Even Feeding: Guide the fabric gently; do not push or pull it forcefully, as this can bend the needle or cause uneven stitches. Allow the feed dog to do its work.

Manutenzione

Regular maintenance of your feed dog ensures optimal performance and extends its lifespan.

• Pulizia: Periodically remove the needle plate and use a small brush or lint remover to clear any lint, dust, or thread buildup from around the feed dog teeth and mechanism. Accumulation can hinder fabric movement.
• Ispezione: Visually inspect the feed dog teeth for any signs of wear, damage, or bending. Worn teeth can lead to poor fabric feeding.
• Lubrificazione: Refer to your sewing machine's main instruction manual for specific lubrication points around the feed dog mechanism, if applicable.
