THE PROPER PRESSER FOOT
• Changing the Foot
Pull the presser foot shank lever
toward you to remove the foot.
(Fig. 48 — Step 1) To attach
place the desired foot under the
shank and lower the presser bar.
(Step 2) Foot will be locked
automatically. (Step 3)
• The All Purpose Foot
This foot (Fig. 49) is flat on the
bottom and has a wide hole to
accommodate wide stitches. This
foot should be used for all
normal sewing.
• The Straight Stitch Foot
This foot (Fig. 50) is flat on the
bottom and has only a small hole
to accommodate only straight
stitching. It may be used on
sheer or soft fabrics for more
control when the all purpose
foot allows the fabric to be
pulled with the needle.
• The Buttonhole Foot
This foot (Fig. 51) has a frame
which
holds the fabric taut
enough to produce a good
buttonhole. The markings on
the side allow exact buttonhole
length to be made.
» The Embroidery Foot
This foot (Fig. 52) has a wide
groove carved out on the bot­
tom. This groove allows the foot
to pass over dense stitches such
as the satin stitch without
catching on the stitch. . It is
transparent to make the stitch
more visible. It has two small
grooves in the front to make
cording easier. Do not use this
foot for normal sewing of light­
weight fabrics. Since it ¡s groov­
ed it will not hold the fabric taut
enough
to produce a good
straight stitch.
• Cording and Zipper Foot
This foot (Fig. 53) is a very
narrow width, with needle open­
ing cuts at its right and left sides
to sew in zippers and insert cord­
ing.
