Pearl Piping oot
eading oot
The beading foot is a presser foot designed to attach round trim, such as
strings of pearl beads or piping up to ¼” thick. A tunnel that runs under the
beading foot allows the trim to pass securely underneath while sewing, while
the clear plastic design allows maximum visibility. If your machine allows you
to move the needle from left to right, you can also use the beading foot to
attach piping or corded pintucks.
Pearl bead trim is commonly used in formal wear, especially for bridal wear,
but it can be used for many types of garments. Pearl bead trim is also useful
to ornament housewares, wall hangings, and heirloom children’s wear.
Colored beads can be used to accent fun fashions, and the beading foot can
be adapted to attach sequins.
roove Pintuck oot
Pintuck feet are presser feet designed for sewing pintucks. From the top, the
pintuck foot appears to have little teeth at the front; from the bottom, these
teeth appear as little grooves that run the length of the foot. The differences
between the types of pintuck feet are in the number of grooves running along
the bottom. To sew pintucks, combine the pintuck foot with a double needle.
The double line of stitches pulls the fabric into the grooves, and the multiple
grooves help keep the pintucks evenly spaced and aligned.
Pintucks and smocking can provide traditional decorative finish to garments
and are common in heirloom and custom apparel. Using a pintuck foot can
make adding these embellishments less labor intensive than adding them by
hand. Pintuck feet are also useful for creating faux smocking. By varying the
width and quantity of pintucks, you can provide texture and design to any flat
expanse of fabric and any type of textile project.
