CLEAR PIPING FOOT (4130971-45)
Insert packaged piping into seams and edges for a tailored inish. Cover cord
with fabric for specialty piping. The clear view allows you to see the piping
placement and see exactly where you are stitching. The clear view enables you to
see the irst row of stitching and adjust your needle position to stitch next to the
original row. Straight Stitch, length 2.5.
To Make Piping From Your Fabric:
1. Snap on the Clear Piping Foot.
2. Cut bias or crosswise grain strips
wide enough to cover the cording
plus seam allowances.
3. Lay the cording on the wrong side
of the fabric strip and wrap the
fabric over the cord.
4. Place the fabric and cord under the
Clear Piping Foot with the cord in
the groove on the underside of the
foot.
5. Sew. The groove will guide the cord so the fabric covers it evenly.
Hint: When you sew this piping into a garment, adjust the needle position so it stitches one
setting closer to the cord, to cover the irst stitching.
To Stitch Piping into a Seam
1. Snap on the Clear Piping Foot.
2. Place the piping along the seam line on the right side of the fabric and stitch
in place with piping in the groove
of the foot.
3. Place the second piece of fabric on top with the right sides together.
4. Put fabric and piping layers under the piping foot with the piping in the
groove on the underside of the foot. Sew. The groove on the underside of
the foot will guide the piping as you sew.
Hint: Notch the seam allowance of the piping on curves and corners.
