Cording foot
Cording is a
technique
in
which
pearl thread
or
a fine cord is over-stitched
to
produce a
purl seam.
With
this
you can obtain
an
effect
similar
to
braiding.
Appliques
can also be
made more impressive by
this
seam.
-
Mark
the required
motif
on
the
fabric, avoi-
ding
too
tight
curves
or
angles
if
possible.
- Engage the cording
foot
and place
the
fil
-
ling yarn in one
of
the
front
grooves
of
the
foot, then place
the
filling
yarn in the back
groove under
the
foot
shoe.
-
Now
overstitch
the
filling
yarn
with
narrow
and dense zigzag stitches.
Now
you have
made what is called a purl seam.
TIP: You
can
also obtain a special effect by
e overstitching a
medium
pearl thread
with
a
a thread
of
a
different
color.

Applique foot
Appliques
are quickly
mad
e and always pro-
duce a beautiful fancy e
ffect
. By using
diffe
-
rent materials and patterns you can
obta
in
many
different
variations. You can make a
perfect, densely stitched seam
with
the
appli-
que
foot, because
it
has a special
cutout
on its
sole
for
the
zigzag seam.
-
Insert
the
applique
foot
in
the
sewing
machine.
- Transfer your drafted pattern
to
the
face
side,
smooth
side,
of
the
fusible
backing
fabric. Remember
that
e.g. letters have
to
be
drawn
in mirrored fashion.
-
Now
iron the backing
fabr
ic
onto
the
appli-
que material. Cut
the
motif
out
and pull
the
paper
off
.
- Place and iron on
the
applique parts on
the
base material.
-
Afterwards
overstitch all contours
with
nar-
row
and dense zigzag stitches.
When
you
reach a curve, use
the
"needle
down"
(model
6232)
function
to
help you guide
the
work
more easily. Also make sure the
needle passes
the
outer
edge so
that
no
fraying occurs later.
