Piping Foot - Pfaff select 150 Owner's Manual

Piping foot

Insert packaged piping into seams and
edges for a tailored nish. Cover cord
with fabric for specialty piping.
To stitch piping into a seam:
1. Snap on the Piping Foot
2. Place piping along the seam line
on right side of fabric. Place second
piece of fabric on top with right sides
together.
3. Put fabric and piping layers under
Piping Foot with the piping in the
groove on the underside of the foot.
Sew with a straight stitch, length 2.5.
The groove on the underside of the
foot will guide the piping as you sew.
To make piping from your fabric:
1. Cut bias or crosswise grain strips,
wide enough to cover the cording plus
seam allowances.
2. Lay the cording on the wrong side of
the fabric strip and wrap the fabric
over the cord.
3. Place the fabric and cord under the
Piping Foot with the cord in the
groove on the underside of the foot.
4. Stitch. The groove will guide the cord
so the fabric covers evenly.
TIP: When you sew this piping into a
garment, adjust the needle position so it
stitches one setting closer to the cord to cover
the rst stitching.
