Juki LS1341 - presser foot adjustment

[MackProvisions]

I just picked up a used 1341 and noticed some of material slightly slips while sewing. When the needle reaches the top most, shouldn't the presser foot go all the way down to the throat plate? If so, can anyone help me and explain how to adjust the presser bar to go down?

As a note the difference between a 1341 and 341 is minimal. You probably don't have the manuals for your machine so here a some that will be helpful as well as a needle size to thread size chart link ( https://www.tolindsewmach.com/thread-chart.html ) :

I would imagine that it same as 1541 . there an access plate on backside that you have to get to a screw . It little hidden and you have to look Upward to see it. You have to lift UP the manual press-foot lever to even see and have access to the screw . You also have to make the foot height adjustments with presser-foot lever locked Up position with loosening and then re-tightening the screw .

Looks like your outer toe is not touching down. I'm not sure how to adjust that on the 341.

Is the foot lift hung up on something?

Are those the correct presser feet for the machine?

If the presser foot is not going all the way down, lower the presser bar. There is either one or two screws securing it to the crank shafts that activate its up and down motion.
