DARNING AND EMBROIDERY ATTACHMENT
Fabrics that require skillful hand­
ling may be darned and embroid­
ered with expert results when the
Darning Sind Embroidery Foot is
used.
This attachment is an aid to all
who desire perfection in free mo­
tion embroidery and applique work.
The foot firmly holds the fabric as
the needle enters and rises from the
work, while fully revealing the line
of design to be followed.
THE GATHERING FOOT
Single or multiple rows of shir­
ring can be quickly and expertly
placed with this attachment. Evenly
spaced shirring is insured as this
foot is designed to lock fullness into
each stitch. The amount of fullness
is very simply controlled by stitch
length and degree of tension.
Use straight stitch setting only.
THE EDGE STITCHER
This attachment, used with the straight
stitch setting, has slotted guides which
regulate placement of stitching at edge
of fabric.
Among its many applica­
tions are the joining and inser­
tion of lace, tucking from pin
width to 1/4", French seaming
and seam piping, facing and
seam finishing.
THE TUCKER
Since the beauty of
tucking lies in explicit
accuracy, the Tucker will
contribute greatly to the
attractiveness
of this
work.
Tucks up to 1" may be
stitched and marked in
one operation.
Two adjustable scales
are provided to gauge
tuck width and spacing.
Use either straight or
decorative stitch setting.
