Accessories and needles I . 2 ,$ - Felling foot Flat felled seams are particularly strong and are commonly known as jeans seams. Seams on sportswear and chil dren's wear, blouses and shirts are more durable with this technique. You can make these seams particularly decorative by us ing 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 about3f8to5/8(1-1.5cm). 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 (stitch length 2.5-3 mm). • Separate the fabric and feed the pro truding 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. 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. Ap pliqués can also be made more effective with this seam. • Attach the cording foot. • Place the pearl thread in the foot so it leads through one of the grooves at the front and lies under the presser foot at the back. • Select a narrow satin zigzag stitch, stitch A1 with the pattern adjustment button (9). Overstitch the pearl thread with a nar row satin zigzag stitch. This produces what is known as the purl seam. Tip: You can also obtain a remarkable effect by overstitching a medium pear! thread with a thread of a different color. 45
