A - '? t Felling foot Lap-felled seams are particularly durable and therefore well known as the typical denim seam. They are also suitable for sportswear, children's wear, blouses and shirts. 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 (for light-weight and heavy-weight fabrics>. • Engage the felling foot in the sewing foot holder. • Place the fabric reverse side to reverse side. • Overlap the raw edge of the lower ply by about 1 -1.5 cm (3/8 to 5/8 inch). • Now place this overlapping edge over the tongue of the felling foot. The fabric must be placed fully under the sewing foot. • Sew along the folded edge with straight stitch. • Afterwards, pull the fabric plies apart and feed the protruding hem into the felling toot. The hem is turned over by the foot and overstitched along the edge. Pull the two fabric plies apart during sewing. Appliqué foot Appliqués are quickly done and always produce a beautiful effect. By using different materials and patterns you can create countless new designs. You can make a perfect, densely stitched seam with the appliqué foot which has a special cutout on the underside for tie zigzag seam. • Insert the appliqué foot into the sewing machine. • Transfer your drafted pattern to the face side/ smooth side of the fusible backing fabric. Remember that any numbers or letters have to be drawn as a mirror image. • Now iron the backing fabric onto the appliqué material. Cut the motif out and pull the paper off. • Place and iron the appliqué parts onto the base material. • Then overstitch all contours with narrow and dense zigzag stitches. When you reach a curve, use the "needle down" function to help you guide the work more easily. Also make sure that the needle stitches over the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later.
