SPECIAL ACCESSORIES SATIN FOOT The Satin stitch foot is grooved on the bottom to permit dense stitching to pass under it easily. It is most useful for sewing satin stitches. It can also be used as an alternative to the All Purpose or All Purpose Foot when sewing stretch stitches. Closely spaced zigzag (page 23) stitches are called satin stitches. This is an attractive stitch used primarily for appliqueing and bar tacking. Slightly loosen top thread tension for satin stitching. Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing to avoid puckering. NOTE on starting to sew with satin stitch foot: Pull both threads under the foot, to the left of the foot of the foot before starting to sew in order to hold threads with the foot or top thread may be entangled on the underside of fabric. CUT & HEM This foot is used to trim excess material while sewing. 1. Move the plastic sleeve that covers the needle clampscrew to the right. 2. Attach the cut & hem, making sure the attachment's "arm" screw, securing the foot. 03 09 76 5.0 - 7.0 2.0 - 4.5 the stitch width. Never use a straight stitch. 4. Cut a ½" wide by 1"deep notch at the top edge of your fabric. 5. Place the fabric OVER the first metal platform and then UNDER the second metal platform. If the foot is not cutting, it is usually because the material is not placed OVER the 6. Sew slowly and gently guide the fabric. The cut & hem works best if no more than ½" is being trimmed. 1/4" FOOT This foot provides a perfect ¼" seam guideline, which is useful when piecing quilt blocks. Markings on the foot alert when to pivot the fabric. 1. Select straight stitch. 2. Snap on the ¼" Foot. 3. Stitch the pre-cut fabric pieces together. Keep the fabric's edge even with the foot's right edge. There is no need to tie off at the seam ends. 4. Iron the seams flat, ensuring precision of your work and better alignment of all corners. All seam allowances should be positioned in one direction and preferably be placed under the darker-colored material, so they cannot be seen on the right fabric side. 5. Place matching strips together as desired and pin together at each corner, ensuring accurate alignment of all corners. Remember that even the smallest discrepancies will add up and distort your design. Join together the strips and iron the seams. Upon completion of your patchwork design, iron again on the right fabric side. 58 * The cut & hem is an optional accessory. 00 * The straight stitch foot is an optional accessory.
