UTILITY GARMENT SEWING OVERCASTING FOOT #25003589
6 M/C Code: MA, MC* The Overcasting Foot is used to keep the fabric edges from curling up when you overlock or zigzag stitch the edge to prevent raveling. The metal bar in the center of the foot holds the fabric flat as the thread wraps over the edge for a serged effect. 1. Snap on the Overcasting Foot. 2. Place fabric under the foot with the edge aligned against the guide on the right side. 3. Select overlock, zigzag or other desired stitch. 4. Adjust length. Adjust width so that the needle doesn’t hit the bar in the center of the opening in the foot. 5. Sew, keeping fabric edge aligned against the guide on the foot. *Models 4208 and 4212 require the optional universal shank part #250033996 #250035996 M/C Code: MA, MB, CA, CB, CC, EA, EB, EC GATHERING FOOT #250035296 M/C Code: MA, MB, MC, CA, CB, CC, CE, EA, EB, EC The Gathering Foot is used to form gathers in fabric. It can gather a single fabric or gather and attach to a second flat fabric simultaneously. It works best on light to medium weight fabrics. The foot has a large needle opening to allow for various needle positions and a slot that opens the left. To gather a single layer of fabric: 1. Attach the Gathering Foot securely. 2. Place the fabric under the foot and sew. 3. For a wider seam allowance, move the needle to the left. To gather and attach a second flat fabric simultaneously: 1. Attach the Gathering Foot securely. 2. Place the fabric to be gathered under the Gathering Foot right side up. 3. Place the fabric that will attach to the gathered fabric into the slot from the left side opening with the right side down. 4. Sew, keeping the two layers of fabric aligned, but not holding them to prevent them from feeding while stitching together. Note: A longer stitch length and tighter tension will produce fuller gathers. 14
