seams are not only ornamental
but
strong
too
. This makes
them
very suitable
for
sportswear and children's wear, men's shirts
and jeans. You can make these seams very
effective
if
you use a sewing thread
of
a con-
trasting
color.
- Place
the
fabric reverse side to reverse side.
-
Overlap
the
raw edge
of
the
lower ply by
a
bout
1
to
1.5 cm.
-
Now
place
this
overlapping edge over
the
tongue
of
the
lap-felling
foot
. The
fabric
must
be placed fully under the sewing
foot
.
-
Sew along
the
folded edge with
straight
stitch.
- Then
pull
the
fabric apart and feed
the
pro-
truding
hem
into
the
lap-feller. The hem
is
turned over
by
the
foot
and
is
over-stitched
along
the
edge. Pull
the
two
fabric plies
apart
during
sewing.

Gathering foot
Beautiful gathering effects, e.g.
on
children's
wear or curtains, can be made
quickly
and
easily
with
the gathering foot.
This
eliminates
gathering by hand.
- Engage
the
gathering f
oot
by
hooking
the
rear bar
of
the
foot
into the rear groove
of
the
foot
holder. Push
the
foot
upwards
until
it
snaps into
the
front
bar.
-
Place the fabric
to
be gathered
under
the
sewing foot, and the
gather-free
fabric from
the top
through
the
foot
cutout.
The fabric
parts
lie face side
to
face side.
- During stitching you have
to
pull
the
top
fabric a
l
itt
le. The harder you
pull,
the grea-
ter
the gathering effect you achieve.
-
Be
sure you
guide
the
fabric
edges
evenly
through
the
foot
.
