Use the fringe foot to create loop embroidery as if by magic. It’s a whimsical effect that looks especially good on terry cloth or velvet.
The Decorative fringe stitch is specially designed for the fringe foot.

- The stitch is made that it works also when cutting up the loops, the knots will keep the thread in the fabric
- When cutting up the loops the best suitable thread for it is polyester thread or cotton thread.
- Can be used with machines that can load a stitch from a USB memory stick
How to use:
- Mark your desired pattern with a fabric marking pen
- Place a piece of stabilizer under the fabric
- Set the upper tension to 2 – 3 (loosen the tension until no bobbin thread comes to the surface)
- Select the decorative fringe foot stitch or a zigzag stitch (length 0.5 – 1.0).
- Sew the stitches row by row. For circles, work from the outside in.
- When using heavier threads, you should select a slightly longer stitch length. Sew a test sample first.
- When finished, pull the work carefully from the machine by holding the last loops. If you pull too quickly, you will pull the end loops flat / tight.
- Knot the beginning and end threads on the reverse side.
Tips
This foot can be used for tailor tacks. The foot has a groove underneath to allow you to create loops over cords.
Caution: Stitch width should not exceed 6mm, but not narrower than 2.5 mm when using a zigzag stitch.
