Accessories and needles ih' f 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 3/8 "to 5/8(1 -1.5cm). • 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. Stitch: 1 Stitch length: 3 Tension: 4-5 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 satin stitch seam. • 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 appliqué. Position and press your appliqué pieces in place on your base fabric. Place a stabilizer under your work area. • Stitch over all contours with a narrow satin stitch zigzag. Make sure that the needle sews over the outer edge so that no fraying occurs later. Stitch: 3 Stitch length: 0.35 Stitch width: L5-4.O Tension: 2 - 3 82
