Operating Instructions

The Double Piping Presser Foot is designed to simplify the creation and attachment of piping. Follow these steps for optimal results:

Creating Piping Cord:

1. Prepare Fabric Strip: Cut a fabric strip on the bias (diagonal to the grain) for flexibility, or on the straight grain if less stretch is desired. The width should be sufficient to wrap around your chosen cord with seam allowance.
2. Insert Cord: Place your piping cord inside the folded fabric strip.
3. Position Under Foot: Place the fabric-wrapped cord under the piping foot, ensuring the cord sits snugly within one of the two grooves on the underside of the foot.
4. Adjust Needle Position: Adjust your needle position if necessary so that it stitches as close as possible to the cord without stitching onto it.
5. Sew: Sew slowly and steadily, guiding the fabric and cord to maintain an even seam allowance. The foot will help keep the cord in place.

Attaching Piping:

1. Prepare Project: Pin or baste your prepared piping to the right side of your fabric project edge, aligning raw edges.
2. Position Under Foot: Place the project with the piping under the piping foot. The piping cord should sit in one of the grooves, allowing the needle to stitch directly next to the cord.
3. Sew: Stitch along the piping, ensuring your needle is as close to the cord as possible. The foot's design helps maintain a consistent seam.
4. Add Second Fabric Layer (if applicable): If attaching piping between two fabric layers, place the second fabric layer right sides together over the first layer and piping. Stitch again, following the previous stitch line, using the piping foot to guide.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the presser foot with a soft, dry cloth to remove any lint or dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the presser foot in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a dedicated sewing accessory box, to prevent scratches or damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the foot for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. If the foot appears damaged, replace it to ensure proper sewing machine function and stitch quality.
