How to Reinforce a Seam
Inserting twill tape while overedge sewing will
stabilize the seam.
Insert the tape through the hole in the front of the
foot.
Position the tape under the foot to the back of the
machine and sew the garment seam.
The tape is attached as the seam is sewn.
Braiding by Chaining Off
Place the movable upper knife in nonworking
position.
Insert filler cord such as yarn or twill tape through
the hole in the front of the foot.
Position the filler cord under the foot and chain off
the desired length.
Chained off braids can be used individually or woven
into 3 or 4 ply braids.
