FREE MOTION COUCHING FOOT
for 9 mm stitch width sewing machines Ref: 202-142-007
Enjoy embellishing your work with cords, strips and yarns by free-motion
stitching. Zigzag stitch as well as straight stitch can be used making it easy
to sew any line or shape precisely. Two different feet are included to match
material Thickness.
Caution
Make sure to press the Lockout key when replacing the foot or attaching a binder.
For models without the Lockout key, turn the power switch off when attaching and detaching the foot and binder.
Please refer to your machine’s instruction manual for accessory attachment and removal information.
To Change the foot
Loosen and remove the setscrew and remove the foot. Put the other foot on the
foot holder. Align the hole in the foot and threaded hole in the foot holder.
Insert the setscrew into the hole and tighten it to secure the foot.
To Attach:
Select the straight stitch with center needle position. Press the Lockout key
or turn the power switch off. Remove the foot holder. Place the free motion
couching foot on the presser bar from the rear with the pin on the needle
clamp screw.
Tighten the thumbscrew firmly and turn the hand wheel to check if the needle
enters in the center of the needle hole in the foot.
To Prepare:
If you use a monofilament transparent thread, put the net on the spool of
thread to prevent the thread from slipping off the spool and jamming around
the spool pin.
Hold a length of yarn with both hands and slip it through the slit and into
the guide hole in the guide plate. Pass the yarn through the hole in the foot
from the notch and draw it to the rear.
