Presser Feet Tutorial


I have been stalking my Singer Featherweight + attachments in eager anticipation of their arrival - I imagine making little samples of everything with beautiful, decorative, written instructions to pass down to my future offspring (more ab that later) - but here is a really good video showing the application and use of assorted presser feet. Most of these are available (though slightly modified for the 'low shank attachment') for the Featherweight and the other videos in the playlist are also quite good. 

SO excited!

Sewing Tip(s) of the day:
1. If you lower your needle before lowering the presser foot, it keeps the needle from unthreading. This always happens to me.

2. When making pin-tucks, it is best to pin tuck the fabric before cutting out the pattern piece to ensure size perfection. For years I've been engaging in complicated math problems in an attempt to calculate how to allow for pin-tucks...

Amazing.

Also, this is a great blog with Singer accessories, info etc..
