But it is often not used by sewists because they don’t know what to do with it. This post talks about why machines have a pressure setting. But let me say that this is not a feature you will use on a regular basis.You do not need a pressure adjustment for most general sewing. However, when the need arises, it’s great to have it. First of all, let’s talk about the reason for having a pressure setting at all. The word, pressure, refers to the amount of force the presser foot exerts on the fabric when the foot is in the down position. If there is too much pressure, it inhibits the fabric and restricts its movement, so it doesn’t feed well under the foot. If the pressure of the foot is too light, the fabric may slip and slide, again causing it to feed improperly.
