Gathering/Shirring Foot G
The Gathering/Shirring Foot G is perfect for simultaneously stitching
and gathering two layers of fabric. You can increase the gathering by
setting a higher differential feed and adjusting the stitch length.
Sewing:
1. Set the machine for a 4-thread overlock seam. Differential feed: 2.
2. Snap on the Gathering Foot G.
3. Insert the bottom fabric layer between needle plate and Gathering
Foot G all the way to the upper cutter, right sides together.
4. Insert the top fabric layer right side down into the opening of the
Gathering Foot G, making sure it is even with the bottom layer.
5. Lower the presser foot and sew. Hold top layer taut while guiding
lower layer with no tension. Sew the layers together as it gathers.
Tip: Increase the needle thread tension if needed.
Strap and Belt Loop Foot L
The Strap and Belt Loop Foot L is used to create straps and belt loops
with a cover stitch. When properly positioned into the Strap and
Belt Loop Foot L, the bias tape is folded under automatically.
Sewing:
1. Set the machine for a 2-needle coverhem wide or a 3-needle coverhem.
2. Cut a strip of bias fabric 1 1/8’’ (2.8 cm) wide (heavier-weight fabrics
require the slightly narrower width strips), cutting one end at a 45
degree angle.
3. Insert cut angle into Strap and Belt Loop Foot right side of the fabric
facing up. Pull the bias strip under and extend it behind the foot.
4. Attach the Strap and Belt Loop Foot L to the machine.
5. Sew the
fi
rst few stitches. Stop and clip the needle and looper thread
close to the presser foot. Sew at medium speed. Continue sewing,
checking the fabric as you sew to ensure proper feeding.
