ELASTIC FOOT
This special sewing foot is for sewing on elastic tape. In the same operation, the fabric is trimmed, serged and gathered by
the constriction of the elastic tape.
Preparing the sewing machine
Differential feed setting: set at “N” position
Stitch length: 4-5
Needles: use 1 or 2 needles, depending on tape width
Thread tension: standard setting
Inserting the elastic tape
• Loosen screw (2) so that brake (1) at opening (4) is opened by 1.5 to 2 mm.
• Place in elastic tape (3) and pass it back under the foot.
• Tighten brake (1) with screw (2) again. The more screw (2)” is turned, the stronger
the pressure of the brake (1) is on the elastic tape and thus the greater the gather effect.
Note:
When the sewing foot is raised, the elastic tape should be pulled through brake (1) slightly loosened.
