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 fabric by
about 3/8'' to 5/8'' (1-1.5 cm).
• 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.

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 fl at 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.
