Pearls and Sequins Foot

size. Its wide groove also helps you to make or attach piping.

1. Adjust the upper thread tension.
2. Place threaded beads in groove of the foot.
3. Stitch in place using zigzag stitch with transparent thread.
Cording Foot
Used for embellishing 1 to 3 cords or
decorative threads. Perfect for couching!
1. Slip a cord from the right of the presser foot, and place each cord into
each guide (to use single cord, use the center guide).
2. Place cord under the presser foot, and select zigzag
stitch with maximum stitch width.
Pin Tuck Foot
This presser foot has 7 grooves and produces perfect pin tucks and
corded pin tucks using a twin needle on lightweight fabric. A specially
designed bobbin cover is also included with this presser foot.
1. Install and thread a twin needle.
2. Draw a reference line to guide your first row of stitching and use that
to sew the first row in the center position.
3. Further rows can be evenly spaced by placing the completed row in one of the grooves.
4. Sew slowly for most consistent results.
Ruffler Foot
Makes ruffles with evenly spaced tucks and gathers. The ruffling
blade on the lower portion of the presser foot is moved forward, its
teeth catch a fabric and force it forward into gathers or tucks. The
intervals of tucks can be adjusted.
1. Adjust the amount of tuck or gather by trying different combinations of stitch length, tuck
setting and depth setting.
2. Use a stiff card to slide the fabric from left into the slot, and stitch slowly.
3. Move fabric about 2.5 cm (1”) past the needle to get started.
