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 decora tive by using a sewing thread of a contrasting color. The felling foot is available in two diffe rent widths. Appliqué foot Appliqués are easily sewn 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 its sole for the satinstitch seam. - 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 3/8 to 5/8 (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. - 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. - Attach the appliqué foot - Transfer your drafted pattern to the paper side of a fusible, paper-backed webbing. Remember that any letters or numbers have to be drawn as mirror images. - Iron the fusible webbing onto the appliqué material. Cut out your motif and peel the paper from the back of the applique. - Position and press your applique pieces in place on your base fabric. - Place a stabilizer under your work area. - Overstitch all contours with a narrow satin stitch zigzag. Make sure that the needle oversews the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later. Program: 1 Stitch length: 3 Tension: 1 - 5 Program: 3 Stitch length: 0.35 Stitch width: 1 .5 - 2 Tension: 2 - 3 102
