The black button on the left side of the presser
foot will lock the presser foot in a horizontal
position if you push it in before lowering the
presser foot. This ensures even feeding at the
beginning of a seam and helps when sewing
multiple layers of fabric such as sewing over
seams when hemming jeans.
When you reach the point of an increased

You also can place another piece of fabric with
the same thickness at the back of the seam. Or
support the presser foot while feeding by hand
and sewing toward the folded side.
