Enchanting Blouse with Fabric Flowers | page New presser feet make sewing quicker and easier!
Presser foot with adjustable guide for IDT™: This presser foot has a “ruler” with guide lines and an adjustable
slider. It’s perfect for topstitching close to edges or hems.
Seam allowance foot: With the seam allowance foot, you always stitch exactly the same distance from the edge
of the fabric. This distance can be adjusted. It’s perfect for stitching the standard 15 mm (5/8”) seam allowances
on garments.
You can find all products at your participating PFAFF® dealer!
Assembly Instructions:
Collar variation:
• Remove the collar and collar stand from your blouse.
Measure the upper and lower edges of the collar stand.
• Attach the ruffler attachment to your machine (see
instructions included with the attachment).
• Thread with sewing thread in top and bobbin.
• Select straight stitch (stitch length 2.5 mm). Set needle
position at “center”. Set the ruffler to 12. The ruffler
will now make a tuck after every 12th stitch. The depth
of the tucks can be adjusted with the screw. Turn the
screw as far to the right as possible.
• Lay the cotton eyelet edging which will be used for the
ruffle in the feed slit.
• Begin stitching. Make sure that the edging always runs
evenly along the right side of the guide.
• Gather 2 pieces of the cotton eyelet edging, cut one to
the measurement of the upper edge of the collar stand
and one to the measurement of the lower edge of the
collar stand. Remove the ruffler from the machine.
• Pin one piece of gathered edging to the outer edge
of the collar stand, right sides facing. Have the
edging taper in on the curves and lay 1 small tuck at
each curve, as needed.
• Attach the Seam Guide foot and stitch the ruffle in
place. Trim the seam allowances.
• Pin the second piece of gathered edging to the neck
edge of the blouse, with wrong side of the edging
facing the right side of the blouse. If applicable, open
the upper seams on the front edges and hide the ends
of the edging. Topstitch the front edges again.
• Sew the collar stand to the blouse again.
Cuffs:
• Cut the grosgrain ribbon into 2 equal pieces.
• Attach the Narrow Edge foot or Adjustable Guide Foot.
• Lay each piece of grosgrain ribbon along the cuff
attachment seam, leaving approximately 25 cm (10”)
extending at each edge of the cuff. Edgestitch the
long edges of the grosgrain ribbon in place. Turn the
narrow edges of the grosgrain ribbon to the wrong
side, twice 4 mm (1/8”) wide and sew in place.
