Sew Easy Foot
3.5 4.0 3–5
Set up for topstitching
The Sew Easy Foot helps you sew in straight lines, no matter
what seam allowance you need. The presser foot has a “ruler”
marked with the most popular seam allowances (3/8", 1/2", 5/
8", 3/4", and 1") and an adjustable guide designed so you can
place the guide anywhere you want. Place the guide along an
already stitched seam or against any edge to give you straight
seams and/or beautiful topstitching. Use both straight and
decorative stitches.
Using the Sew Easy Foot
• Sew two pieces of fabric together using a 5/8" seam
allowance. Press the seam to one of the sides.
• Attach the Sew Easy Foot and set the guide at the 1/2" mark.
• Guide the seam along the guide of the presser foot and
topstitch with a straight stitch. The seam allowance will be
caught in the topstitch.
Hand-Look Quilt Stitch
3.5 2.0–3.0 6–9
Set up for hand-look quilt stitch
Simulate the look of handmade quilting with the Hand-look
Quilting stitch. Thread the needle with either transparent
thread or with a thread that blends with the color of the top of
the fabric. Thread the bobbin with a thread color that
coordinates or contrasts with the top of the fabric, depending
on the look you want for your project (the bobbin thread will
actually appear on the top of the fabric).
Tip: Use a size 100 Topstitch Needle for an even greater effect.
• To get the accurate hand stitched look it is important that
the stitch is sewn using a high thread tension. Make sure to
set the tension according to the recommendations in the
stitch chart.
• Stitch along one of the seams of your project, or around an
appliqué. The handlook effect is created as the bobbin
thread is pulled up to the top of the quilt.
• Use the quilting guide to make even rows of channel
quilting or echo quilting as illustrated. Insert the Edge/
Quilting Guide into the groove at the back of the presser
foot holder and adjust the position to fit your project.
