Any braid that will fit the Underbraider tube and be stitched through
the centre may be used in the Underbraider. It is sometimes necessary to
force the Braid under the spring by pulling it, or to lift the spring with the
screwdriver. The braid should be well under the foot before starting to sew.
How to Perforate Braiding Designs.
A
may
braiding
design
be
copied
with
the
sewing
machine
by pinning it to several
sheets
of
paper,
as
shown in Fig. 110.
Attach
the
quilter
foot
and,
without
threading
the
machine,
follow the design with
the needle.
You will be able to
make
several
copies
of the design in this
way.
The
perforated
pattern is then pinned
to the material to be
braided and torn away
when
the
braiding
is
finished.
