FRINGE FOOT
*Optional Purchase
This foot is used to create 3-dimensional texture on fabrics,
producing a fringe effect. Fringe can be created two ways:
with the loops left intact, or with the loops trimmed on one side
for an "eyelash" effect.
MACHINE PREPARATION
Remove the presser foot and presser foot holder. Attach the
Fringe Foot. Tighten the thumb screw securely.
Apply stabilizer behind the fabric, to prevent the stitches
from tunneling in while sewing.
EYELASH FRINGE
Set the machine for an overcast or overedge type of stitch.
Select the widest width setting, but a short length setting.
Draw the line where you want the left swing of the needle to
sew.
After sewing the row of stitches, slide the fringe off the foot,
toward the back. To create an eyelash effect, use a sharply
pointed scissor to trim the thread loops close to the fabric on
the right-hand side of the loops. Lightly brush the threads with
LOOPS INTACT FRINGE
Select zigzag stitch. Set the stitch width according to the look
you want for your project. Set the stitch length for a short
setting (about 1mm). Turn the hand wheel toward you slowly,
to make sure that the needle clears the foot. Sew several rows
next to one another as desired. Remove the presser foot and
presser foot holder. Attach the Fringe Foot. Tighten the thumb
screw securely.
