Lap-feller
Lap-feller seams are not only ornamental but
strong too. This makes them very suitable for
sportswear and children's wear, men's shirts
and jeans. You can make these seams very
effective if you use a sewing thread of a con
trasting color.
—
Place the fabric reverse side to reverse side.
—
Overlap the raw edge of the lower ply by
about ito 1.5 cm.
—
Now place this overlapping edge over the
tongue of the lap-felling foot. The fabric
must be placed fully under the sewing foot.
-.
Sew along the folded edge with straight
stitch.
—
Then pull the fabric apart and feed the pro
truding hem into the lap-feller. The hem is
turned over by the foot and is over-stitched
along the edge. Pull the two fabric plies
apart during sewing.
Beautiful gathering effects, e.g. on children's
wear or curtains, can be made quickly and
easily with the gathering foot. This eliminates
gathering by hand.
—
Engage the gathering 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 gather-free fabric from
the top through the foot cutout. The fabric
parts lie face side to face side.
—
During stitching you have to pull the top
fabric a little. The harder you pull, the grea
ter the gathering effect you achieve.
Be sure you guide the fabric edges evenly
through the foot.
—
Disengage the gathering foot by pushing it
down at the front, and take it out to the
back over the groove of the sewing foot
holder.
TIP: You can also regulate the amount of
gather by adjusting the needle thread tension
and the stitch length.
