Binding a Bianket

THE EVEN FEED FOOT

The Even Feed foot improves the feeding of

fabrics that tend to stick, stretch, or siip whiie

being sewn. The foot feeds top and bottom

fabric layers together so that seams start

even, feed evenly, and end even. At the same

time, its hold-and-llft action makes it ideal for

stay stitching and for topstitching. The Even

Feed foot should always be used with the zig

zag plate.

Use It When Stitching:

• Knits, stretch fabrics, synthetics

• Shiny fabrics — vinyls, patents, satins

• Plaids, stripes, patterns

• Bonded fabrics

• Pile fabrics — velvets, fake furs, brushed

fabrics

• Leather and leather-look fabrics

• Dungaree seams, welt and slot seams

• Belts, waistbands, and patch pockets

• Blanket binding and pleats

Do Not Use It When:

• Speed Basting

• Sewing with Flexi-Stitch patterns

Preparing Fabric

The Even Feed foot will not correct inac

curacies in weaving and cutting, so make

sure the grain (of woven fabric) or rib (of

knits) is true when you cut your garment. If

you are sewing a stripe, plaid, or print, cut

fabric pieces to match exactly at the seam

line. Line up fabric edges (and first stripe)

carefully at seam starts and secure with a pin

placed at right angle to the seam line.

Most short seams need not be basted. But for

seams In plaids and for long or shaped seams,

basting or pinning is advisable.
