SATIN FOOT
The Satin stitch foot is grooved on the bottom to permit dense
stitching to pass under it easily. It is most useful for sewing
satin stitches. It can also be used as an alternative to the All
Purpose or All Purpose Foot when sewing stretch stitches.
Closely spaced zigzag (page 23) stitches are called satin
stitches. This is an attractive stitch used primarily for
appliqueing and bar tacking. Slightly loosen top thread tension
for satin stitching. Use a backing of stabilizer or interfacing to
avoid puckering.
NOTE on starting to sew with satin stitch foot:
Pull both threads under the foot, to the left of the foot of the
foot before starting to sew in order to hold threads with the
foot or top thread may be entangled on the underside of fabric.
CUT & HEM
This foot is used to trim excess material while sewing.
1. Move the plastic sleeve that covers the needle clampscrew
to the right.
2. Attach the cut & hem, making sure the attachment’s “arm”

the stitch width. Never use a straight stitch.
4. Cut a ½” wide by 1”deep notch at the top edge of your
fabric.
5. Place the fabric OVER the first metal platform and then
UNDER the second metal platform. If the foot is not cutting,
it is usually because the material is not placed OVER the

6. Sew slowly and gently guide the fabric. The cut & hem
works best if no more than ½” is being trimmed.
SPECIAL ACCESSORIES
1/4” FOOT
This foot provides a perfect ¼” seam guideline, which is useful
when piecing quilt blocks. Markings on the foot alert when to
pivot the fabric.
1. Select straight stitch.
2. Snap on the ¼” Foot.
3. Stitch the pre-cut fabric pieces together. Keep the fabric's
edge even with the foot's right edge. There is no need to tie
off at the seam ends.
4. Iron the seams flat, ensuring precision of your work and
better alignment of all corners. All seam allowances should
be positioned in one direction and preferably be placed
under the darker-colored material, so they cannot be seen
on the right fabric side.
5. Place matching strips together as desired and pin together
at each corner, ensuring accurate alignment of all corners.
Remember that even the smallest discrepancies will add
up and distort your design. Join together the strips and iron
the seams. Upon completion of your patchwork design,
iron again on the right fabric side.
* The cut & hem is an optional accessory.
* The straight stitch foot is an optional accessory.
