Knit-edge foot
As the knit-edge foot has a presser foot
sole of varying height, thick knitted fabrics
can be sewn with ease. To do so select
the open or the closed overlock stitch
(models 1032 and 1042) or the zigzag
stitch. In order to obtain a perfect seam
on knit fabrics, we recommend oversew-
ing a wool thread, pulled slightly taut, into
the seam. This will give the seam addi-
tional strength and keep it from stretching
out of shape.
Quilt and patchwork foot
The quilt and patchwork foot allows you
to sew accurate 1/4 or 1/8ß seams. The
distance from the needle to the outer right
edge of the foot is 1/4ß (0.63 cm) and to
the inner right edge 1/8ß (0.31 cm).
Patching
• Attach the quilt and patchwork foot.
• Sew together your pieces of fabric with
the straight stitch. For a seam allow-
ance of 1/4ß, guide your fabric along the
outer right edge of the foot. For a seam
allowance of 1/8ß, guide your fabric
along the inner right edge of the foot.
Quilting
(Sewing through the top layer, Á eece layer
and bottom layer of the quilt)
• Sew the three layers of the quilt (e.g.
with the straight stitch) approx. 3 mm
from the seam line.
