Fancy Trim Foot : This is an optional accessory.
3. Slide the sequins into the groove at the front of the presser foot.
Make sure you have pulled a piece of the sequin trim under the foot
and through the back of the foot before you start to sew.
4. Test sew on a scrap of fabric.
5. Sew slowly to prevent sewing through sequins.
Gathering Foot : This is an optional accessory.
The Gathering Foot is used for gathering or shirring fabrics. It works
best with lightweight fabrics.
Gathering Fabric
1. Remove the presser foot holder and attach the Gathering Foot.
Tighten the side screw securely.
2. Place the fabric to be gathered under the presser foot.
3. Set the machine to Straight Stitch.
4. Lower the presser foot.
5. Sew a row of stitching. The pressure that is placed on the fabric from
the back of the foot will cause the fabric to gather.
6. Adjust the upper thread tension dial to help achieve the amount of
fullness desired. Less tension will result in softer gathers, more
tension will result in fuller gathers. The stitch length dial can also be
used to adjust fullness. The longer the stitch length setting, the more
fullness that is achieved.
Gathering and Attaching Fabric in One Step
1. Remove the presser foot holder and attach the Gathering Foot.
Tighten the side screw securely to ensure that the foot is properly
attached.
2. Place the fabric to be gathered under the presser foot, right side up.
3. Place the top layer of the fabric right side down in the Gathering
Foot’s slot.
4. Set the machine to Straight Stitch.
5. Sew, guiding the two layers together.
Use the Fancy Trim Foot to decorate your projects
with sequins. This foot guides the sequins through
a groove at the front of the foot while your sewing
machine stitches them in place.
Note: Use only circle round sequins. Make sure that
the sequin trim flows freely through the opening on
the foot.
1. Thread with invisible thread on top and all-
purpose sewing thread in the bobbin.
2. Snap on the Fancy Trim Foot and select a Hand
Look Appliqué Stitch. Adjust the stitch length to
2-3 and the width according to the width of the
sequins. Make sure to use Tear-Away stabilizer
underneath your fabric.
