Tailor Tack and Blind Hem Feet


T W O  F E E T  I N  O N E  T U T O R I A L

This week we have learnt two more new feet which was quite exciting as I have never used any more specialist feet. I had no idea of what was going to be produced and so I was relatively shocked at how many different things the sewing machine could produce depending on what you do with it. Starting on the left hand side, these stitches were produced using the Tailor Tack foot. This foot creates loops in the thread and can produce anything from scraggly loose loops which almost look like messy handwriting, to perfect packed lines of loops and even seeding by taking either the spool or top thread out. 
On the right hand side second and third lines in are produced using the blind hem foot. This foot is completely different and very neat, however some of the same outcomes can be produced using both feet. For this foot to work correctly you stitch on the fold and then by opening the fold afterwards you can produce lovely outcomes.
