The Baby Lock Fringe/Looping Foot has many different uses.
When making pattern markings, chenille type texture, or heirloom fagoting,
this foot is for you.
MACHINE SETTINGS
| Stitch: | Zigzag |
|---|---|
| Stitch length: | 0.7 |
| Stitch width: | 2.0-5.0mm |
| Tension: | 0.4 |
For all three of these techniques you will be using a zigzag stitch. It is important that you select a stitch width that is no smaller than 2mm and no wider than 5mm. As you can see, there is a bar in the middle of the foot that needs to be cleared by the zigzag stitch. The tension will need to be loosened to create the stitch’s looping effect.
If you are using your Baby Lock Fringe/Looping Foot to transfer pattern markings, it is recommended that you have a full bobbin, as this will use a great deal of thread. Your Baby Lock machine should be set on a slower speed and your stitch lengthened. Sew at a slow, steady speed and avoid fluctuating movements. After sewing is completed, gently separate the layers of your pattern and fabric pieces and cut to separate the threads. Effective for marking darts, pleats and pocket placement.
Great texture can be created when using the Baby Lock Fringe/ Looping Foot. Mark the number of rows you want to stitch and use the same settings as above for pattern markings. Sew on the lines.
When creating heirloom fagoting, place right sides together and sew a seam
using a 5/8” seam allowance.
Sew the zigzag slowly and evenly the entire length of the seam. Use a lighter
weight thread for this technique or there may be a great deal of thread that
is built up in the seam. After the seam is sewn, gently open the seam
allowance and press back on each side. Decorative stitches can be used to hold
seams in place and will frame the fagoting stitches.
