Fringe
foot
fj
With
this
special
foot
for
loop
embroidery
you
can
produce
fantastic
effects
in
no
time.
This
foot
is
particularly
effective
on
terry-cloth.
•
Mark
out
your
desired
pattern
with
chalk
or
the
J
magic
pen.
•
Use
a
stabilizer
for
the
material.
•
Insert
the
fringe
foot.
•
Embroider
the
motif
row
by
row.
For
circles
you
have
to
work
from
the
outside
inwards.
•
When
using
thicker
threads
you
may
have
to
select
a
longer
stitch
length;
it
is
best
to
sew
a
test
seam
first.
•
When
you
have
finished,
pull
the
work
out
of
the
machine
carefully
because
if
you
pull
too
fast,
you
will
pull
the
loops
tight.
•
Knot
the
threads
on
the
reverse
side.
This
classical
sewing
technique
can
be
used
perfectly
well
on
many
fabrics
such
as
cottons
and
light
woollens.
With
pintucks
you
can
give
a
nostalgic
touch
to
underwear
and
children’s
wear.
•
Insert
the
pintuck
foot.
•
Swap
the
needle
for
a
twin
needle
(1.6
or
2
mm
needle
clearance)
e.g.
130/705
H-ZWI
needle
thickness
80.
•
Thread
up
the
two
needles.
•
Now
set
the
needle
thread
tension
quite
tight
(at
about
5)
to
make
the
seam
more
prominent.
•
Sew
one
pintuck.
When
you
sew
the
second
one
you
can
let
the
first
one
run
parallel
in
one
of
the
foot’s
grooves.
This
ensures
that
the
spaces
between
the
pintucks
always
remain
the
same.
Tip:
If
you
wish
to
emphasize
the
pintuck
effect,
you
can
fit
a
“cording
tongue”
on
the
front
edge
of
the
needle
plate.
Its
guide
shifts
the
fabric
upwards
thus
making
the
pintucks
look
even
more
voluminous.
Sewing
with
a
gimp
thread
makes
a
similar
optical
effect,
it
makes
the
pintuck
even
broader.
However,
with
a
gimp
thread
you
work
without
a
cording
tongue.
•
First
remove
the
needle
plate.
•
Thread
the
gimp
thread
upwards
through
the
hole
in
the
needle
plate.
•
Return
the
needle
plate
to
its
position.
The
notch
between
the
needle
plate
and
the
sewing
machine
provides
space
for
the
gimp
thread.
This
thread
must
be
fed
under
the
detachable
work
support,
so
that
it
does
not
become
tangled
during
sewing.
•
While
sewing
the
cording,
the
material
must
be
pulled
lightly.
