How the weft yarn presser foot works

The use of the weft yarn presser foot depends on the carriage direction.

The weft yarn presser foot is always active following the knitting system by which the weft yarn carrier is driven.
With a CMS 330W / 530W, the weft yarn carrier is driven by the leading system and the enclosing yarn carrier by the following system.
