Today, boys and girls, we are going to remove the presser bar from Ms. Rusty. What is the presser bar you ask? Well, it’s the steel bar that attached to the presser foot of course! The presser bar is the tall bar with the spring around it on the left in the photos below.
Here we go! First step is to remove the screw in the presser bar guide bracket
Then it’s necessary to remove the presser regulating thumb screw. Because the name of this part is so confusing, it may help to clarify that the function of this thumb screw is to regulate the pressure that the presser foot applies to the fabric. (Can you tell I had a hard day at work today?). The next two photos show the location of the presser regulating thumb screw and what the front end of Ms. Rusty looks like with out this important piece of hardware.
