braiding and fringe foot (how they work & their uses)

The braiding foot (also known as couching or cording foot) is a specialty foot that fits in place of the standard foot. It’s used to attach decorative trim such as braid, cord, piping, yarn, and ribbon to fabric.

The hole located in the top of the foot allows the trim to be threaded through the top and then under the foot. This standard sized hole allows for trims of up to 5mm in width, but some feet allow for size adjustments which makes working with different widths of trim easier.
The foot is easy to use and works with straight, zigzag and decorative stitches.

Braiding Foot Stats-

1 . Size: Up to 5mm trim width or adjustable.
2. How to attach: Just like the standard foot, the braiding foot comes as a snap on unit.


A fringe foot (also known as a looper foot or tailor tack foot) is a cool addition to your sewing toolbox. With just a zigzag, you can incorporate a lot of decorative, textured looks to your projects.
The fringe foot is probably one of the most versatile presser feet for adding decorative details to your sewing projects.

1. Chenille effect
This style is easy to achieve and looks impressive! For this effect, you leave the loops intact, forming a little arc on top of the fabric, perfect to highlight shaped details. I love the look of a few straight lines next to one another, going through the whole project.

Settings for your machine:
Stitch: Regular zigzag or triple zigzag (for a fuller look)
Stitch length: 0 - 0.5 (buttonholes settings)
Stitch width: 3-5
Spool tension: 0-1
Directions:
1. Holding the thread tails with your left hand, start sewing with your fringe foot, following your design

2. Eyelash loops
Start by sewing a line of zigzag stitches, following the instructions for the chenille stitch. Switch to a regular or open presser foot.

Turn your work so you're looking at the wrong side of the seam, where the bobbin thread is. Make sure it sits on the opposite side of where you're going to sew your triple straight stitch seam.


On the right side of the fabric, sew using a triple straight stitch to lock the threads. Turn your work so you're looking at the wrong side again, and pull out the bobbin thread.
