Knit-edge/piping/beading foot Thick seams in knitted fabrics or imitation furs can be sewn easily with the knit edge foot. In order to obtain a perfect seam on knit fabrics (e.g. shoulder seams), we recommend oversewing a wool thread, pulled slightly taut, into the seam. This will give the seam additional strength and keep it from stretching out of shape. Stitch No: 23 Stitch length: 3-4 mm Stitch width: 6-9 mm Non-stick fancy stitch foot The synthetic coating on the underside of this foot makes it particularly suitable for sewing decorative and utility stitches of up to 9 mm wide on leather, synthetic leather and vinyl. It may be helpful to back these fabrics with a fusible woven or knit interfacing. Due to the stretch of these fabrics, it is important to use a stabilizer under the fabric when embroidering. A needle with a longer eye (system 130 N) is recommended for thicker leather. On softer leathers an embroidery needle works well. • Attach the non-stick fancy stitch foot. • Embroider leather as desired. • Remove stabilizer. Warning! Very closely set stitch, i.e. short stitch length/tight stitch density, may cause leathers, synthetic leathers and vinyl's to perforate. It is important to remember that needle piercing points will remain visible in leather. Stitch No: optional decorative stitch Stitch length: according to the stitch Stitch width: 9 mm
