I II progi I I Ia G 3 1 I 13-51 - - L t erit a n foot - Lap-feller Lap-feller seams are not only ornamental but strong, too. This makes them very suitable for sportswear and children's wear, men's shirts and Jeans. You can make these seams very effective if you use a sewing thread of a con trasting colour. - Place the fabric reverse side to reverse side. Overlap the raw edge of the lower ply by about 3/8' to 5/8'. - Now place this overlapping edge over the tongue of the lap felling foot. The fabric must be placed fully under the sewing foot - Sew along the folded edge with straight stitch. - Afterwards separate the fabric and feed the protruding hem into the lap-feller The hem is turned over by the foot and is overstitched along the edge. Pull the two fabric plies apart during sewing Gathering foot Beautiful gathering effects, e.g. on children's wear or curtains, can be made quickly and easily with the gathering foot. Gathering by hand is no longer necessary. - Engage the gathering foot by hooking the rear 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 gatherfree fabric from the top through the foot cutout. The fabric parts lie face side to face side - While stitching you must pull the top fabric a little. The harder you pull, the greater the gathering effect you achieve. Be sure you guide the fabric edges evenly through the foot. - Disengage the gathering foot by pushing it down at the front, and take it Out to the back over the groove of the sewing foot holder. TIP: You can also regulate the amount of gather by adjusting the needle thread tension and the stitch length. 75
