Fabulous Foot Friday!! (It is still Friday in Alaska.)

For one last week I am continuing on my top/edgestitching theme. Can you tell that I need a lot of help in this area? Anyway, today I am going to show you the Edge Joining Foot.
As you can see from the picture this one is a little different because it has the guide right in the middle. I LOVE this foot for stitching in the ditch. It really helps get your stitch right along the seam. Holding the fabric on each side of the seam helps open it up to get the stitches right down in there. You can see the seam with stitching in the ditch on the right in the next picture. The other use for this foot is for snugly joining two edges of fabric together. This is especially nice for lace or trim insertion. I used a zigzag stitch. You can see how it is directly over the middle of the two pieces. The seam is surprisingly strong when pulled on.











Totally unrelated to sewing but I just had to include this picture of my little superhero.




















Thank you so much for visting! Have a great day!

Until next time...

  2. Tamara, I have to thank you for remembering to use my feet :) . I rarely take them out of the attachment box on my machine, but just took this one out about two hours ago as I was looking for something to help me reconstruct my leather skirt. Alas, I put the darn thing back and it probably would have helped me stitch my seams. I still have two more so maybe I'll use it tomorrow.
