Single needle cording foot Cording is a technique in which pearl cotton or a fine cord is overstitched to produce a purl seam. With this technique you can obtain a similar effect to braiding. Appliqués can also be made more impressive by this seam. • Attach the single needle cording foot. • Place the gimp thread into the foot so that it leads through one of the grooves at the front and lies under the sewing foot at the back. • Now overstitch the gimp thread with narrow, dense zigzag stitches. Tip: You can obtain a remarkable effect by overstitching a medium pearl thread with a thread of a different color. Program: 32 Stitch length: 0.35-1 Stitch width: 1.5-2.0 Tension: 3 L Shirring foot Beautiful gathering effects on, for example, children's wear or curtains, can be achieved quickly and easily with the shirring foot. • Attach the shirring 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 fabric to remain flat, down wards through the foot cutout, The fabric layers lie face side to face side. L • During sewing, you must pull the top fabric a little. The harder you pull, the greater the gathering effect you create. • Be sure to guide the fabric edges evenly { through the foot. • Disengage the shirring foot by pushing it down at the front and remove it in the direction of the groove of the sewing foot holder at the back. Tip: By increasing the needle thread tension and the stitch length, you can increase the gathering effect. Program: 00 [ Stitch length: 3 Tension: 3-5 1• [ I [ 166 I
