How to use the Beading foot, Narrow Groove:

Sewing on strung beads or pearls is popular for bridal wear, evening wear, smart/casual wear and crafts. The beading foot is a blessing that makes a tedious task pleasurable.

- Place a string of beads or pearls under the groove on the bottom of the foot.

The guide of the foot aligns edges/seams of fabric so that neatly parallel edge stitching and topstitching can be achieved with ease.

How to use the Gathering foot:
Ideal for creating soft gather in lightweight fabrics, the gathering foot makes it simple to create the gather that you want. The underside of the foot is raised behind the needle with an additional metal plate in front of the needle to produce gathers on a single layer of fabric.
Take the hassle out of gathering with the handy gathering foot.
Note: Ensure to press the Lockout key when attaching and detaching the foot. For models without the Lockout key, turn the power switch off when attaching and detaching the foot.
To attach:
- Push up the presser foot lifter and hold it at the highest postition.
- Hang the rear pin of the foot on the spur of the foot holder and lower the foot lifter slowly until the foot snaps to fit.
To detach:
- Press the lever of the foot holder while pushing up and holding the foot lifter at the highest position to detach the foot.
Machine settings:
- Stitch pattern: Straight stitch (centre needle position)
- Stitch length: 3-5

Sew on one layer of fabric. Do not pull the fabric. The amount of the gathers depends on the weight of the fabric, stitch length and needle thread tension.
Adjust them by test sewing.
