Accessories and needles 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 3/8ß to 5/8ß (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 (stitch length 2.5-3 mm). • 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. Cording foot Cording is a technique in which pearl thread or a Àne cord is overstitched to produce a purl seam. With this you can obtain an effect similar to braiding. Appliqués 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. Model 1022, 1032: Select stitch D with the pattern adjustment button (9) and then the zigzag stitch in the required width. Set stitch length to "buttonhole". Model 1042: Select stitch D with the pattern adjustment button (9). Set stitch length to "buttonhole" and stitch width to "2". • Overstitch the pearl thread with a narrow satin zigzag stitch. This produces what is known as the purl seam. Tip: You can also obtain a remarkable effect by overstitching a medium pearl thread with a thread of a different color. 57
