That spring and screw affect the inside alternating/vibrating foot.
Oops, I should have left it alone. How do I know how far to screw it down? I haven't seen it mentioned in the service manual I found online.

That spring pushes down on the inside foot, which pushes down on the material under it. Under that is the feed dog with its hole or slot for the needle. If you get prominent pock marks on the bottom from the hole in the feed dog, back off that top screw and let the main pressure spring on the back exert most of the foot pressure. I've attached a manual for the Singer 111w155 and 156 that shows the various views of the parts, including the rear pressure spring. It also contains valuable usage details.
