Applique Foot – Accessory Of The Month April 2019

Posted on April 4, 2019 | Leave a Comment

This presser foot is shorter than most for easier maneuvering around curves and corners when sewing applique pieces. It’s made of clear plastic for easier viewing as you sew. The foot also has markings for you to line up the exact position that you needle will start in depending on the stitch selected. As the foot hook onto the back of the shank then clips down it means that the foot wont move on you while you are working your way around applique pieces.

This Accessory of the Month has a bonus project for you to make.
