Cording foot Cording is a technique in which pearl thread or a fine cord is overstitched to produce a purl seam. With this you can obtain an effect similar to braiding. Appliqués can also be made more im pressively by this seam. • Engage the cording foot. • Place the filling thread in one of the front grooves of the foot, then place the filling thread in the back groove under the foot shoe. • Now overstitch the filling thread with narrow and dense zigzag stitches. TIP: You can also obtain a special effect by overstitching a medium pearl thread with a thread of a different colour. Shirring foot Beautiful gathering effects, e.g. on children's wear or curtains, can be made quickly and easily with the shirring foot. • Engage the shirring foot by hooking therear bar of the foot into the rear groove of the foot holder. Push the foot upwards until it snaps into the front bar. • Place the fabric to be gathered under the sewing foot, and the gather-free fabric from the top through the foot cutout. The fabric plies lie face side to face side. • During stitching you have to pull the top fabric a little. The harder you pull, the greater the ga thering effect you achieve. • Be sure you guide the fabric edges evenly through the foot.

TIP: You can also regulate the amount of gather i i by adjusting the needle thread tension and the stitch length. 00 Program: 00 Stitch length: 3 Tension: 3-5 cc .L o.c 0Cl) I I I I 154
