¼” Seam Foot without Guide – Accessory of the Month April 2024

 

This foot is the sister foot to the original ¼” Seam Foot with a Guide and is supplied with some Janome 9mm models.

Having no guide, align the right edge of the foot with the fabric edge to stitch a ¼ inch seam in from the fabric edge. The wide footprint allows for the fabric to be fed evenly and controlled while stitching a ¼” seam. Having no guide gives stitching versatility, patchworkers can quickly stitch fabric pieces into blocks, by drawing a centre diagonal line then stitch a ¼” seam on either side, cut along the drawn line to give 2 patchwork blocks. Alternatively, use this foot to topstitch along the fabric edge or parallel to a seamline to embellish your project/garment. The oval hole in the foot allows for the needle position to be adjusted, so a ¼” seam can become a scant ¼” seam.

A handy foot to have for your machine.

Button Sewing Foot – Accessory of the Month February 2024

 

Quick and easy button sewing with a special button sewing foot…. Who would have thought? Hand sewing buttons is a thing of the past! This foot has two bars that attach to the foot holder to provide extra stability and has a textured, rubber sleeve to hold the button securely in place while sewing.

Simply select a zigzag stitch, adjust the stitch width to 3.5mm, drop your feed dogs, place your button under the foot (ensuring on the zig and zag motion the needle enters the holes on the button) and commence sewing. It’s that easy!

Your machine may have built-in sewing applications, making this easy task even easier. You can also use the button sewing technique to decorate quilts and other craft projects, helping them to stand out by giving them a 3D effect.
