Um, confused... The foot control generally will not raise the presser foot. It should advance the feed dogs.

Testimonial: "Thank You for your attempt to help and sorry to confuse you. This machine has electronics, when the foot peddle is pressed in the front it raises the presser foot, when you put pressure at the back of the peddle it stitches...My foot peddle is not doing either???"

    Perhaps you can test your foot control unit on another machine to see if it is the foot control or the machine. My guess is the foot control is defective.

SOURCE: Presser foot wont raise and lower

Does the presser foot move at all when the machine is first turned on?
Do the needle and feed teeth calibrate when the machine is first turned on?
You probably need to locate your nearest authorized repair center.

SOURCE: The presser foot came off Brothers sewing machine

position the foot under the shaft making sure the horizontal pin on the foot is in line with the horizontal groove on the end of presser foot fitting on the shaft. Lower the pressor foot arm and it should snap right on. If not, press it up manually. the directions should be in your manual. If you don't have your manual, you can get it online at www.brother-usa.com

SOURCE: The presser foot lifter of my Singer 9432 has disconnected

Had the same problem.
Open the cover where the light bulb is.

Follow the presser foot rod up into the machine.

You will find a metal keeper with a set screw facing the now open end of the machine.

That set screw has most likely come loose.

Since the presser foot is spring loaded to the down position leave the presser foot raising lever in the down position.

With your flat bladed screwdriver, gently push the metal keeper to it's lowest position. If it does not go easy, loosen the metal keeper set screw a bit. Lefty loosey.

Tighten the set screw on the metal keeper. Righty tighty.

The pressure foot on my bernina bernette 715 won't move

Troubleshoot this. Here are some steps you can take:

Safety Setting Adjustment:
In newer firmware versions (V9.xx), a safety sewing setting was added to prevent the ruler foot from hitting the needle holder when the foot is hovering and the needle is down.
If your presser foot only raises slightly (about 2mm), it might be due to this safety setting.

To resolve this, change the setting from the maximum of 2mm to a maximum of 6mm.
Remember to switch it back to the original setting when using the ruler foot.

Check the Needle Position:
Ensure that the needle is in the highest position (raised) before attempting to move the presser foot.
If the needle is down, the presser foot may not move freely.

Inspect for Obstructions:
Examine the area around the presser foot for any obstructions, tangled threads, or debris.
Make sure there's nothing preventing the presser foot from moving smoothly.

Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment:
Uneven fabric feed can occur if the pressure on the presser foot is too high or too low.
Adjust the presser foot pressure according to the thickness of the fabric you're working with.

Power Cycle and Reconnect:
Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source.
Reconnect it and power it back on.

Refer to the Manual:
Consult your Bernina Bernette 715 user manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to the presser foot. If these steps don't resolve the problem, you may have to take it to a professional repair service.

My Elna SU's light turns on when plugged in and switch turned on. However, when I step on the peddle, the machine does nothing.

I suspect there is something wrong with the foot control unit or the electrical connection between the foot control and the machine.

Presser foot stopped working I turned

Did you connect your machine then press the foot control before you lowered you presser foot? I have a CS6000 and that is what E1 means on my machine. You did not put your model number in so I don't know. You can look in your manual or go online to www.brother-usa.com and look it up for your machine. Try unplugging and plugging it in again, but put your presser foot down then step on your foot pedal.

How to use a zipper foot please? I have lost instructions and have no idea which is the zipper foot or how to use it can you help please.

  1. Step 1 To prepare the fabric for a centered zipper application, use the standard presser foot to baste the opening of the fabric shut using 5/8 inch seam allowance. Press the seam allowance open. Place the zipper teeth side down on the seam allowance and pin the zipper to the seam allowance only.
  2. Step 2 Release the standard presser foot from your machine. There may be a button or lever behind the foot that you need to press. Put the standard foot in its holder or someplace where it won’t get lost.
  3. Step 3 Decide which side of the machine you want to attach the zipper foot to. Zipper feet are asymmetrical, with one side that’s wider than the other. You’ll want to put the narrow side toward the zipper teeth, and the wider side away from the zipper teeth.
  4. Step 4 Attach the zipper foot to the sewing machine. You may need to line up the bar on the zipper foot with the presser foot holder, then lower the presser foot by lowering the lever. Raise the presser foot and make sure the zipper foot is securely attached.
  5. Step 5 Place the prepared fabric with the pinned zipper in the sewing machine. Lower the needle into the zipper tape and the seam allowance only, then lower the zipper foot. Stitch the zipper tape to the seam allowance. To sew the other side of the zipper to the seam allowance, remove the zipper foot from the sewing machine and install it on the other side of the presser foot holder.
  6. Step 6 Topstitch the outside of the fabric to each side of the zipper tape, making sure that the zipper foot is on the appropriate side of the machine for each side. Remove the basting with a seam ripper.
