DECORATIVE & CRAFTING SEWING CORDING FOOT #250034
596 M/C Code: MA, MC With the Cording Foot, surface embellishment can be added to fabrics with decorative cords, threads, or thin yarns. The grooves in the foot keep the cords parallel and flat while guiding them back through to the groove under the presser foot as they are stitched to your fabric. This foot may also be used for shirring and gathering. 1. Snap the Cording Foot onto the sewing machine. 2. Select a zigzag or decorative stitch. Adjust the width to stitch over the cords. The selected stitch should use forward motion, avoid backward motion stitches. 3. Slide the cords from the right, under the guides and into position in the grooves. 4. Pull the cords into the open slot behind the guides. Pull to the back and under the foot. Check that the cords are flat and parallel. Tie them together behind the foot to keep them in place. 5. Place your fabric underneath the Cording Foot and sew. A stabilizer may be needed to keep the fabric flat and smooth. #250034696 M/C Code: MB, CA, CB, CC PINTUCK FOOT #250036096 M/C Code: MC*, CB, CC, EA, EC The Pintuck Foot is used for heirloom sewing, embellishing garments, table linens and bed linens. Generally, this foot is used with a twin needle (SINGER® Style 2025) to create evenly-spaced raised tucks in the fabric. It works best with very fine to medium weight fabrics. A series of grooves on the underside of the foot keep the tucks from being flattened and serves as guides for stitching parallel rows of tucks. 1. Snap on the Pintuck Foot. 2. Insert a narrow twin needle. 3. Thread the machine with two spools of thread. 4. Increase the top thread tension. 5. Set the machine for a straight stitch. 6. Using a marking tool, mark the first row of stitching (can be straight or wavy). 7. Position the fabric under the foot aligning the marking with the center of the foot and stitch the first tuck. 8. To stitch the second tuck, position the first tuck into one of the other grooves. Which groove used will determine the spacing of the tucks. *Models 4208 and 4212 require the optional universal shank part #250033996 Twin Needle Style 2025 #D043090 (4mm size 90 regular point) #D07419 (4mm stretch) Note: A contrasting thread will produce a more pronounced tuck. 19
