Gathering; Dual Feeder (Only Emerald™ 203) - Viking Emerald 203 User Manual

GATHERING

Turn off the main switch.
1. Snap on the gathering foot. Switch on the
sewing machine.
2. If you are only using one piece of fabric,
place it under the presser foot and sew a
straight stitch. The fabric will gather.
3. If you are using two pieces of fabric place
one piece under the presser foot and the other
piece of fabric in between the cut in the foot
(see picture).
4. Start sewing. The bottom layer of fabric will
gather while the top layer stays fl at.
DUAL FEED FOOT
The dual feed presser foot is designed to feed
layers of fabric and/or batting evenly. Perfect
for quilting, sewing velvet, some stretch fabrics,
imitation leathers and fabrics which need careful
pattern matching. It also helps to prevent uneven
feeding of very diffi cult fabrics.
1. Remove the presser foot ankle by unscrewing
the ankle screw.
2. Place the dual feed on your machine from the
back, positioning the lever over the needle
clamp screw (A). Then screw the dual feed
onto the presser foot bar with the black screw
found together with the dual feed foot (B).
3. Make sure both the needle screw (A) and the
attaching screw (B) are tightly secured.
Reduce presser foot pressure to 3.
How to Attach the Guide
The two guides included with the dual feed will
help you sew parallel rows of stitching side by
side as in channel quilting or tucking. There is one
guide for the left side, and one for the right.
• Place the guide into the slot on the back of
the dual feed foot (C) and push it down.
• Adjust the space between the foot and the
guide by pulling it to the left or to the right.
