Continuous Decorative Pattern; Sewing Lightweight Fabrics; Using The Even-Feed Foot; Attaching The Even-Feed Foot - Singer 9985 Instruction Manual

CONTINUOUS DECORATIVE
PATTERN
Use the Satin Foot for continuous decorative stitch
patterns. This foot has a groove on the underside
to allow satin stitches (or other closely spaced
stitches) to feed freely under the foot.
No. 19-116
Satin Foot (B)
To customize the continuous decorative stitch
pattern, you may adjust the length and width of
pattern. Experiment with fabric scraps until you
achieve the desired length and width.
A. SEWING LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS
When sewing lightweight fabrics, it is suggested
that you use stabilizer on the backside of the
fabric. This can help prevent stitches from
puckering the fabric.
USING THE EVEN-FEED
FOOT
The Even-feed Foot equalizes the feeding of the
upper and lower layers of fabric and improves the
matching of plaids, stripes, and patterns. This foot
helps to prevent uneven feeding of very diffi cult
fabrics. Use this foot also for sewing quilts.
