BLSO-LP Piping Foot
Instructions
Piping can be made for finishing detail on projects ranging from home decorating to the finest heirloom garments. This piping foot accommodates a 2mm piping cord. The clear view allows you to see exactly where you are stitching for perfect placement. The left position groove and markings on the foot allows for piping cord to be properly placed for a 3/8” seam allowance.
MACHINE SETTINGS:
| Stitch: | Straight Stitch |
|---|---|
| Stitch length: | 2.5 |
| Stitch width: | Adjust width setting to achieve needle position desired |
| Piping cord: | 2mm |
TO MAKE PIPING:
- Attach the Piping Foot.
- Cut fabric strips (bias or on-grain) wide enough to cover the cording plus seam allowances.
- Wrap the fabric over the cord.
- Place the fabric and cord under the foot aligning the cord in the groove on the underside of the foot.
- Adjust your needle so the needle drops right next to the cord. Sew. The grooves will guide the cord so the fabric covers it evenly.
TO STITCH PIPING INTO A SEAM:
- Attach the Piping Foot.
- Align the piping along the seam line on the right side of the fabric. Place the second piece of fabric on top with the right sides together.
- Start by placing your needle in the left position and move the needle to the right using the width control.
- Stitch in place. The piping will guide through the groove on the underside of the foot.
Note:
- When inserting pre-made piping into a garment, adjust the needle position so it stitches one setting closer to the cord, to cover the first row of stitching.
- Adding notches into the seam allowance of pre-made piping will allow for turning in tight curves and corners.
