When free motion (free hand) sewing at slow speed 
(less than 200 rpm) the presser foot moves up and 
down. The foot is down when the needle is down 
to hold the fabric in place while the stitch is formed. 
The foot is raised with the needle so the fabric can 
be moved without risk ing to bend the needle. At 
faster sew ing speeds (over 200 rpm) the foot stays in 
the glide (pivot) position so the fabric can be moved 
easily for free motion sewing.
