Presser Foot
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A very short dictionary entry on the presser-foot of a sewing machine, taken from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It defines the part as a foot-plate that presses on the goods and holds them against the rough face of the feed. A line drawing (Fig. 3936) shows the presser foot on a vertical post with a thumb-screw/lever mechanism, above a serrated feed dog and a toothed feed wheel.
