7-10 7. Accessories :.f :., / Fringe foot With this special foot for fringe embroidery you can produce fantastic effects in no time. This foot is particularly effective on terry cloth. • Mark your desired pattern with a fabric-marking pen. • Place a piece of stabilizer under the fabric. • Attach the fringe foot. • Embroider the motif row by row. For circles you must work from the outside inwards. • When using heavier threads, you should select a slightly longer stitch length. Always sew a test seam first. • When you have finished, pull the work carefully from the machine by holding the last loops. If you pull too quickly, you will pull the end loops flat/tight. • Knot the beginning and end threads on the reverse side. Stitch No: 3 Stitch length: 0.5 - 1 mm Stitch width: 1.5- 2.5 mm Felling foot Flat felled seams are particularly strong and are commonly known as jeans seams. Seams on sportswear and children's wear, blouses and shirts are more durable with this technique. You can make these seams particularly decorative by using a sewing thread of a contrasting color. The felling foot is available in two different widths. • Attach the felling foot to the presser foot holder. • Place the fabrics' wrong sides together. • Overlap the raw edge of the lower ply by about 3/8-5/8" (1-1.5 cm). • Place this overlapping edge over the tongue of the felling foot. The fabric must be placed fully under the presser foot. • Sew along the folded edge with a straight stitch. • Separate the fabric and feed the protruding hem into the felling foot. The hem is turned over by the foot and is overstitched along the edge. Pull the two fabric layers taut during sewing. Stitch No: 1 Stitch length: 3
