particularly decorative by using a sewing
thread
of a contrasting color. The felling
toot is available in two different widths.

foot holder.
• Place the fabrics wrong sides together.
• Overlap the raw edge of the lower
tabric by about 3/8 to 5/8 (1-1.5 cm).

Shirring foot
Beautiful gathering effects 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 presser foot, and the fabric to
remain flat on the top through the foot
cut out. Make sure the fabrics are
placed right sides together.
• Hold the top fabric slightly taut while
sewing. The more you hold the top
fabric the greater the gathering effect
you will achieve.
• 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 presser
foot holder at the back.
Tip: Tighter gathers can be achieved by
increasing the needle thread tension and
the stitch length.
