Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the hinged presser foot on your industrial sewing machine:
- Power Off: Ensure your sewing machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source for safety.
- Remove Existing Foot: Loosen the screw that holds the current presser foot in place. Carefully remove the old presser foot.
- Select Correct Size: Choose the desired size of hinged presser foot (1/16", 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", or 1/2") based on your project's seam allowance requirement.
- Position New Foot: Align the new YEQIN hinged presser foot with the presser foot bar. Ensure the guide is positioned correctly for your desired seam.
- Secure Foot: Insert the attachment screw through the hole in the presser foot and tighten it securely to the presser foot bar. Do not overtighten.
- Test Clearance: Manually lower the presser foot and needle to ensure there is no interference and the needle passes cleanly through the foot's opening.

Operating Instructions
Once the presser foot is installed, follow these guidelines for optimal use:
- Fabric Placement: Place your fabric under the presser foot, ensuring the edge of the fabric aligns with the right guide of the foot for a consistent seam allowance.
- Start Sewing: Begin sewing at a moderate speed. The hinged design allows the foot to adapt to slight variations in fabric thickness.
- Maintain Alignment: Continuously guide the fabric against the right guide to ensure a straight and even stitch line.
- Turning Corners: When approaching a corner, stop with the needle down in the fabric. Lift the presser foot, pivot the fabric, lower the presser foot, and continue sewing. The guide will help maintain the seam allowance around the corner.
- Adjustments: If you notice uneven stitching, check your fabric alignment against the guide and ensure the presser foot is securely attached.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your presser feet:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the presser foot with a soft, dry cloth to remove any lint or fabric residue.
- Storage: Store the presser feet in a dry place to prevent rust or damage. The original packaging or a dedicated sewing accessory box is recommended.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the presser feet for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. Replace any damaged feet to ensure consistent stitch quality.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is required for the presser feet themselves. Refer to your sewing machine's manual for machine lubrication instructions.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Seam Allowance | Fabric not consistently aligned with the guide. | Ensure fabric edge is always against the right guide during sewing. |
| Needle Hitting Presser Foot | Presser foot not properly installed or tightened; incorrect needle size. | Re-install and securely tighten the presser foot. Verify needle is appropriate for your machine and fabric. |
| Fabric Not Feeding Smoothly | Excess lint or debris under the foot; presser foot pressure too low (machine setting). | Clean the presser foot and feed dogs. Adjust presser foot pressure on your sewing machine if applicable. |
