I am so embarrassed! I am a retired dressmaker, who had a thriving sewing business for 30+ years, who's often wondered what that black button was for, but I never bothered to find out! 🤭 I even BOUGHT a doohickey to put behind the foot to level it and help it sew over thick seams. I recently was blessed to completely redo a room in our new home for my sewing room, but I somehow misplaced said doohickey, and have needed it several times in the past week. Out of frustration, I googled it, and found your video. "Are you kidding me? ", I said out loud. I have had just what I needed right in front of me all these years! I used your tip three times in the last 15 minutes, and it worked like a charm, even at the start of a bulky seam. Thank you so much!
For years I have been sewing I had no idea that this is what that button does I wish you would make more videos on different feet and what they can do Love the video thank you.
To go over thick seams, I slow down (take foot off pedal) and use the hand wheel / lift presser foot manually (the same idea) until over the thick part

All I use my machine for is hemming my jeans. I always had trouble going over the thick folded seams. After seeing this vid I purchased a new J foot with the leveling button, boy what a difference. Thanks. :)
WHAT?!?!?! That's so cool! I wish I could like this video twice!
Same here!!! I always wondered what that the black wheel was for...
Yes, I have wondered about that button! Now I know! Thanks.
Wow, who knew!?! Thx so much!
This was so cool! I always wondered why it had that button! Thank you so much ... no more broken needles on jean seams! TFS xx
me too. But, I looked and it's in the manual (which no one ever looks at, myself included}
Lol now ya know 😅
I have a J foot for my Janome. Never knew what the purpose was of that button so thanks for posting this useful tip!
Thank you so much, this was driving me nuts, thought my sewing machine was about to break yesterday 😂 now I'll use your front wheel drive solution 👋👋
BRILLIANT - I came across your video by accident. I have purchased a new machine and have this type of foot not knowing what it was to be used for. Whilst researching how to sew through thick material your link came up. What a bonus. I am excited to try it and then tell my daughter who I bought the same machine for that she too has this facility.
YES!!!! thank you
Not singling anyone out... But it is amazing how many people who have this foot are totally oblivious to how to use it. Starting at page one of your manual read and apply. Does not matter how many years you have been using a sewing machine...there is always something new to learn. Thanks for the video.
Best explanation for that foot
Great! Thanks!!😊
Can't imagine what is going through the small minds of the trolls who down voted this. It's a really good video of a great aid for sewing.
🎉🎉 thanks for the tip
Mind blown! I never knew what that was for. Thank you
you can also use a flat button the same thickness and slot it at the back.
Amazing, I've been a baby lock gal for 20 years....odd that no dealers or class instructors mentioned this bit of trivia. Sure beets the matchbook trick!
me too. I found it out recently when I bought a new small machine to take to classes. No one had ever told me about it before.
OMG. THANK YOU. Had my machine a few years and could never figure that foot out.
Thanks
OMG! Thank you so much! I was looking for ways to make my own hump jumper, and instead you showed me that I had one built into my J foot all along! You're my hero!
Game changer. Thanks so much
Had one of these for years and didn’t know this😱
Why isn't that widely known? Thank you so much for this video. I looked at my "J" foot and it ha a button! I just have to try this.
I agree. Actually its in the manual. I hardly ever look at it unless I'm stuck!
BL machines rock! Iove all 3 of mine
Awesome straight to the point 👏👏
I just finished sewing the next batch of 57 headbands with buttons. I have had sooooooo many problems with the thick parts. Thank you I love you! Lol! I use that foot all the time, I thought the wheel was like a side balancing wheel or sonething. Starting my next 4 orders for masks and headbands tomorrow! Definitely trying this. My machine sends you love too. 🤣
I have this levelling foot. Just didn't know how to use it. THANK YOU
Thanks so much for sharing. I had difficulty for sewing my Woolen Cashmere cape 4 layers on the collar. I almost do it by hand. Thanks again for your help. Hello from Melbourne. 🤗
My mind is blown! Thank you!
WOOOOOOOW! I had NO IDEA!
I knew the button was for thick material but I didn't realize the technique on how to use it, love the info
I knew about it, tried it but it didn't work. Now I know I have to hold it in until it clicks. Its in the manual if I had bothered to read it. lol
I have one of these J feet, had no idea i could do that! Thank you for sharing this.
And now I know 🤯 Imagine that! Thank you!
I was wondering what the little black knob was for. Thank you for helping me find my J foot's "front wheel drive"!
Thank you so much for this tip.
I always wondered why that foot had that pushy thing on the side! Yay! My feed dogs haven’t been happy with me when I have thicker projects to sew through! Thanks!!!! ❤️
Nice tutorial ma’am thanks for sharing
I have an SE1900 and I didn't know how to use that black button. Thanks so much!
amazing! never knew how to use this!
Mind. Blown.
Life saver
I could never figure out how to make that black lever work on my presser foot! Thank you!
Thank you. Good info I never knew!
Great tip! Never knew the function of it
Terrific video!
Thanks for sharing
I dream to get a baby lock sewing machine but I won't ever be able to afford one. It's so nice n easy to use u all are so lucky
Thanks for sharing this information. I have been wondering how to stitch the handles on a canvas bag.
SEW Happy to help!
Wow! I have been sewing for many years, I never knew that excellent piece of information, thankyou, thankyou, I have subscribed
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for posting this! My sewing machine could not go over any fabric over two layers without stopping, and I had no idea how to fix this. I tried this and it helped so much! I still got some jamming issues unfortunately, but it was a lot better than before. Thank you!
amazing tip thank you!!!
thanks for this tip!
Mind blown!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I was wondering what that was thank you so much
What?!!! That is pretty dang amazing! I never knew what that was for! I hope I remember to use it now☺️👍🏻
Wow that’s what that button was for, I’m so happy, I was giving up on my sewing project ❤️🧶👜🧵👛
You just saved my day!
Game changer!
The black button is on my J foot on my brother sewing machine . I didn't know what is was for until now thank you
Me too, read my comment on this video ! I have been sewing for years & embarrassingly never knew; face palm ! Oh my, the hours I have wasted cursing my poor Brother.... (machine AND familial, LOL!)
Wow didn't know this. Thank you.😁
I always wondered about that button! thanks
Thank you!!
That is Amazing! I always wondered what that was for! Thank you
Omg… 😅thank u!
That’s simply awesome 👏🏼. I wondered what that button was for. Turning it has done___nothing!
You are the best!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you. I've always wondered what that button was for.
Thank you sew much for this great video! Have to give it a try in the future! Thanks for your time!
Why I'm watching this only after it took me three hours and some serious sweating to shorten a thick pair of jeans? 😓😅 Thank you so much, I'm going to try this.
What a terrific video. I was just a bit curious about why I had so much trouble sewing terry cloth towel material. You answered that question plus you solved about a dozen other problems I wasn't even aware had solutions. Thank you
thank you!
Oh. My. Gosh. Face palm !!!! I feel like a complete dunce after sewing all these years, never knowing what it was for (however, in my defense, I was self-taught & had no UA-cam in the 1980s, LOL !).... I own various machines for different projects, but also for different fabrics - I mostly create home furnishings with the occasional pajama pants here & there - however, my Brother CS6000i never seemed to handle thick fabric well, but I just checked & it indeed has the button on its default J foot; I just tried it with a thick tapestry scrap and HOLY MONKEY IT WORKS !!!! I was often breaking needles & thread and suffered multiple bobbin problems on the thick stuff so I simply resigned myself to bring out my 1970s-era trusty metal machine that plows through anything anytime I needed some heavy lifting. But now I think I can better handle more projects on it without having to switch out, thus saving time and MAJOR FRUSTRATION, thank you so..... Excellent video !!!! Cheers !
I was shown this when I first got my Quilter's Dream machine; but, I'd forgotten exactly how to do this. Thanks!
Thank you so much...never could figure what that was for...and I was just looking into a hump jump
Great! Another useful tip I didn't know about and will definitely be using often.
Wow this is wonderful... Thanks
THANK YOU!!
Gonna try soon to make some jeans. This top will come in handy.
Thank you!!! I’ll give it a try!!! ♥️
Ok, so I just pressed down on my standard foot and it got me through. Still THANK YOU!
Awesome!
fantastic..!!!
Wow thanks didn't know this.
Thank you! I knew what it did but forgot how to use it.
well dang! thank you
Sure beat the jeans-a-majig
Just found your video. I have had my brother for 8 years and often wondered what the black spring button was for. Wow. Thank you.
Can you do this at the beginning of a thick seam.?
My walking foot industrial Juki even has a challenge
Glad I reviewed Babylock videos before I ruined the application of front pockets on a linen jacquard robe.
just sewed my first face mask and was having trouble with the exact same seam hump where I have to sew over the pleats. Had issues because I didn't know about this feature. First time using my new sewing machine. Thanks
captainkrunch What kind of sewing machine do you have? I have a cheap Singer one... do you think this will solve the problem for me too ( If I Even have that J-foot; I’ll have to see....)
I wish all sewing machine are like this then we can use just one machine that can sew everything and it be better for the enviroment for the long hall cause there many sewing machines are old one like mine can't even sew one thick fabric , and to get it fix cost more than buying a new one so is ridiculous, and this machine properly cost a fortune.
Mine doesn’t have it how can I sew more than one layer of fabric without it bunching up ?
I have a Brother sewing machine with a J plate but no button. Weird. But thanks for the tip, will see if I can still make this work without the button.
I've been using it when starting on very thick fabric but I never realised I could have pressed the pressure foot down as well.
I need a new j foot it seems. Mine has nothing in it to do that. I have to use my ruler a lot to help...
Hi! I thought this was a wonderful video! You are a great teacher and I must subscribe for your videos. With this J foot, does it apply for all sewing machines? I'm a newbie and am having issues with thicker fabric. Thank you!
Janet.
I have it on my Brother.
Hmmm what if what your trying to sew doesn't fit under the foot even when its raised?
then you need the Jeans-a-jig. I got one with my BL machine in the tool box. But, you can buy them at your dealer or even at JoAnn's for a generic one in the notions where needles, etc are.
