Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your UpStart Components Snap On Zig Zag Presser Foot, compatible with Kenmore 385.15208400 Sewing Machines and Part #5011-4. This replacement presser foot is designed to restore or enhance the functionality of your sewing machine for various sewing applications, improving efficiency and professional results.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the Snap On Zig Zag Presser Foot onto your sewing machine:

1. Power Off: Ensure your sewing machine is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet before beginning installation. This prevents accidental operation and ensures safety.
2. Raise Needle and Presser Foot Lifter: Use the handwheel to raise the needle to its highest position. Then, raise the presser foot lifter lever to lift the existing presser foot.
3. Remove Old Presser Foot: Locate the small lever or button at the back of the presser foot holder. Press or lift this to release the current presser foot. Carefully slide the old foot off.
4. Align New Presser Foot: Position the UpStart Components Snap On Zig Zag Presser Foot directly under the presser foot holder. Ensure the crossbar of the presser foot aligns with the groove on the presser foot holder.
5. Snap On: Lower the presser foot lifter lever. The presser foot holder should snap securely onto the crossbar of the new presser foot. You should hear a click, indicating it is properly attached.
6. Verify Installation: Gently try to pull the presser foot off to ensure it is firmly attached. If it moves, repeat step 5.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Snap On Zig Zag Presser Foot is ready for use. This foot is primarily designed for zig-zag stitching, but can also be used for straight stitching and other basic sewing tasks.

• Select Stitch: On your Kenmore 385.15208400 sewing machine, select the desired stitch pattern (e.g., zig-zag, straight stitch). Ensure the stitch width is appropriate for the opening of the presser foot to prevent needle breakage.
• Place Fabric: Position your fabric under the presser foot, aligning the edge as needed for your seam allowance.
• Lower Presser Foot: Lower the presser foot lifter lever to bring the presser foot down onto the fabric.
• Begin Sewing: Start sewing at a moderate speed. The wide opening of the zig-zag foot allows the needle to move freely from side to side for zig-zag stitches without hitting the foot.
• Adjust Settings: Adjust stitch length and width as required for your project. Always test on a scrap piece of fabric first.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your presser foot.

• Cleaning: After each use, especially if sewing with lint-producing fabrics, use a small brush or lint roller to remove any thread fibers or dust accumulated on and around the presser foot.
• Storage: Store the presser foot in a clean, dry place when not in use, preferably in a sewing machine accessory box, to prevent dust accumulation and damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the presser foot for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. A damaged presser foot can affect stitch quality or even damage your machine.
