STRAIGHT STITCH FOOT
This foot is used when sewing lightweight fabrics, such as
chiffon and silk. It will help prevent the fabric from being pulled
into the needle plate opening.
1. Verify that the needle will line up with the opening of the
foot before starting to sew.
2. Sew slowly and guide the layers.
OPEN TOE FOOT
This foot provides a more visible view of the area that you will
be stitching. Because of its open area at the front, you can
see markings much more easily.
1. Set machine to desired stitch.
2. With a marking pencil or chalk, trace the outline for your
design or pattern on the right side of the garment. Hint: Use
a marker that can be removed easily in case the stitching
does not cover it completely.
3. Sew, following the outline you have traced onto your fabric.
INVISIBLE ZIPPER FOOT
This foot provides a hidden closing on skirts, dresses and
other garments.
1. Verify that the needle will line up with the opening of the
foot before starting to sew.
2. Before closing the seam on your project, use a fabric
marker to mark the desired bottom end of the zipper on
both sides of the zipper opening.
3. Fold in and press the seam allowances of both opening
edges and open out the pressed edges.
4. With right sides together, place the first half of the opened
zipper along the first edge of the opening, ensuring that the
teeth of the zipper end at the creased edge.
5. Baste in place.
6. Place the fabric under the presser foot, so that the teeth
of the zipper are lined up with the groove of the zipper
foot. Topstitch the zipper in place, ensuring that the needle
penetrates the tape of the zipper close to the teeth.
Continue sewing until the presser foot reaches the zipper’s
slider, backstitching at the end of the seam.
7. On the opposite side, close the zipper. With right sides
together, make sure the two sides of the zipper are properly
aligned. Pin in place, open the zipper and baste in place.
8. Place the fabric under the presser foot, so that the teeth of
the zipper are again lined up with the groove of the zipper
foot. Topstitch the zipper in place, ensuring that the needle
penetrates the tape of the zipper as close to the teeth as
possible.
9. Continue sewing the second seam until the presser foot
reaches the zipper’s slider, backstitching at the end.
* The straight stitch foot is an optional accessory.
* The open toe foot is an optional accessory.
* The invisible zipper foot is an optional accessory.
