THE
EVEN FEED
FOOT
The Even Feed foot improves the feeding of
fabrics that tend to stick, stretch, or siip whiie
being sewn. The foot feeds top and bottom
fabric layers together so that seams start
even, feed evenly, and end even. At the same
time, its hold-and-llft action makes it ideal for
stay stitching and for topstitching. The Even
Feed foot should always be used with the zig
zag plate.
Use It When Stitching:
• Knits, stretch fabrics, synthetics
• Shiny fabrics — vinyls, patents, satins
• Plaids, stripes, patterns
• Bonded fabrics
• Pile fabrics — velvets, fake furs, brushed
fabrics
• Leather and leather-look fabrics
• Dungaree seams, welt and slot seams
• Belts, waistbands, and patch pockets
• Blanket binding and pleats
Do Not Use It When:
• Speed Basting
• Sewing with Flexi-Stitch patterns
Preparing Fabric
The Even Feed foot will not correct inac
curacies in weaving and cutting, so make
sure the grain (of woven fabric) or rib (of
knits) is true when you cut your garment. If
you are sewing a stripe, plaid, or print, cut
fabric pieces to match exactly at the seam
line. Line up fabric edges (and first stripe)
carefully at seam starts and secure with a pin
placed at right angle to the seam line.
Most short seams need not be basted. But for
seams In plaids and for long or shaped seams,
basting or pinning is advisable.
