Presser foot with half-sole and edge guide

Presser foot with half-sole left and edge guide (0273 006874) for exact stitching in the seam shadow – helpful for processing of lining with double lining inner lip e.g. italian waist band lining.
Compensating foot for 1.6mm topstitching width
Topstitching through the waistband on the waistband edge at 1,6 mm
Topstitching of straight or curved waist bands with a margin of 1,6 mm (optional hinged compensating foot 0274 006834) on the left hand side of the waistband with optional compensating foot for flexible use, e.g. for Casual trousers, ladies’ trousers and skirts etc.
Presser foot stroke adjustment
Presser foot stroke adjustment for trouble-free topstitching of the waistbands
When processing thicker materials and pile fabrics (e.g. velvet / cord), the sewing foot stroke adjustment can be set to a value of up to 10. This helps to "float" the presser foot over the material, without putting pressure on the waist band. Warping the waistbands in sewing direction against the pile (line direction) is thus prevented. Only the needle and puller transports the material.
