Cording Foot - Singer Futura Quartet Instruction Manual

OVERCASTING FOOT
The guide on the overcasting foot aligns with the raw edge of
the fabric. As you sew, thread forms around the pin in the foot.
The fabric edge is kept flat as the stitch locks the edge of the
fabric to prevent it from unraveling.
1. Place a single layer of the fabric under the foot. Align the
raw edge of the fabric against the extension guide on the
right toe of the foot.
2. Sew along the fabric edge.
3. When finished sewing, pull the fabric out toward the back
of the machine so that the stitches slide off the pin in the
overcasting foot.
Note: Do not sew in reverse when using the overcasting
foot.
NARROW (ROLLED) HEMMING FOOT
This foot aids in rolling the fabric's edge. The foot is designed
to sew straight, so avoid curves and sharp turns.
1. Select a soft medium weight fabric.
2. For approximately 1 inch of the fabric, press a 1/8" hem,
then turn fabric again and press, making for a total of ¼" of
the fabric being turned up.
3. Stitch approximately ½" of the folded hem.
4. Leave needle in fabric and lift presser foot.
5. Guide fabric into scroll of foot.
6. Lower fabric and continue to sew, holding the thread tails
firmly.

CORDING FOOT

This foot is used for gathering, shirring, decorative stitching or
applying trims.
1. Thread the needle with the machine embroidery thread. If
you have chosen a rayon sheen as embroidery thread, use
a special bobbin thread, called bobbin fill, in the bobbin.
2. Reduce the upper thread tension. This will allow the needle
thread to produce a smoother finish on the fabric's surface,
giving the embroidery a more pronounced appearance.
3. Pull the cord under the small black tension disc from right
to left, so that it runs through the foot's center groove.
Place the cord end under the cording foot, so it runs in the
foot's center groove at the back.
Hint: To prevent fabric distortion, reinforce the fabric with
stabilizer.
4. Place the fabric under the cording foot. Sew along the
marked lines. The cord is automatically applied while
sewing and overstitched with a narrow satin stitch. Make
sure the cord is completely overstitched. If not, increase
the width of the zigzag stitch.
5. At the beginning and end of the seam, secure the threads
at the back of the fabric by tying a knot or stitching the cord
in place. The cord can simply be trimmed at both ends.
6. If using the foot to gather, select the zigzag stitch to stitch
over the cord. Remove fabric from machine and draw fabric
in while holding the cord until desired gathers are achieved.
