Newer computerized models usually have a pressure adjustment in the form of a dial on the left side of the sewing machine head.
Older machines generally did not include that information in the manuals. It is usually a screw that is accessible from the top of the machine, inside the cover--most often directly above the presser foot. Sometimes it is a plunger-type button--the further down it is depressed, the tighter the pressure.
there should be a place to adjust the "feed dogs" on your machine. They should be able to be raised or lowered to give you proper to get the pressure of the pressure foot where you want it.
Hi JoEllen,
The walking foot replaces the normal pressure foot on your machine. There is a screw on the left-hand side of the pressure shaft that holds the ankle (if your Necchi uses snap-on feet) on the shaft. Loosen this screw until the pressure foot (or the pressure foot/ankle combination) comes off. Now slip the walking foot on where the other foot came off and tighten that screw. You're ready to go!
Dad taught me to service machines when I was about 12. Back then, foot pedals ran on small discs of carbon, and he gave me lots, to service My foot pedal. That was circa 1960. Likely you need a replacement foot pedal. I would look for one on Ebay. Just - where I find all sorts of 'Stuff'.
sounds like the feed dogs may be down or not working. Watch to see if the little teeth are moving under the pressure foot when you stitch( try to run unthreaded and with foot up no fabricto check) May be a button to turn up the feed dogs.
