Auto Pivot and Presser Foot Height Adjustment

[@cynthiafiekers2120]

Can I adjust the pressure foot tension while sewing? I sew rope and the pressure foot tension has a tendency to “warp” the rope? I have an S7

[@janomehqjanomecanada4908]

Yes, in the settings mode, you will be able to adjust the foot height for pivoting and the pressure of the presser foot. Page 90 of your instruction manual has more detailed information. Happy Sewing!

Very helpful. I knew about about the autopivot but not that it could be height adjusted.

Hello, sorry to bother you but had a question. I came across your video which is amazing. I have the Janome MC 8200QC and when I am sewing my zipper tabs onto my zippers after it goes over thickness of the zipper it doesn’t come back down tight to the thin layers of fabric. So it kind of makes squiggle lines. How do I get it to adjust from the thick to thin? Thank you so much

[@amystogsdill2083]

Looks like the pressure foot lever is loose, not sure how to fix this? Thank you

Hi Amy! The presser foot will adjust to the different layers when it's truly flat and straight. You can adjust the presser foot pressure to further accommodate and customize the thickness. Happy Sewing!

Is there an auto pivot on mc6700p

[@janomehqjanomecanada4908]

HI Cathie! No, the MC6700P has a manual presser foot lift, though use of the knee lifter to raise the presser foot is almost like auto-lift, lol!

Hi can you use auto pivot on the janome memory craft 8900 qcp?

[@janomehqjanomecanada4908]

HI Bernadette, the MC8900 does not have an auto-pivot feature, but you can select to needle down to stay in the fabric, and use the knee lifter to raise the presser foot, so that's achieving the same result as auto-pivot
