Beading foot This presser foot is used for sewing on bea ding sequins and strass bands as well as lead and ordinary cords. Setting the machine Set your machine to the 3-thread overedge seam (narrow or wide depending on bead size> Stitch length should be between 3 and 4 Working: 2 Raise the needle to its uppermost position and insert the beading foot. Insert the string of beads into guide 1 and beneath guide 2 approx. 2 inches (5 cm) behind the sewing foot. Hold the beads in place with a few stit ches, then lay the fabric face up under the sewing foot and sew the beads onto the sel vage. Note: For sewing on lead beading, we re commend threading the two overedge loo pers with bulk thread and correcting the ten sion if necessary. The stitch length is between F and 2. If you wish to sew the beading into the fa bric as shown to the left, the needle thread tension must be loose (approx. -5). Lay the material reverse side to reverse side and guide the crease past the upper blade while sewing. Pull the fabric apart; the beading is now on top. Sew a test seam. 68
