This, is the edge stitching foot! I have had this about a month and never used it until last night. You know, I get in a rush and don’t always want to stop and change feet.
It’s easy to master. Just put your fabric next to the “wall” and get moving. I don’t own a serger or plan on ever buying one. This is a lifesaver for me and my denim obsession! I use the stitch that looks like the over lock stitch. The needle position determines how close to the edge it sews. On the right you can see the stitches. Yay!!!!! No homemade looking jeans for me. It is perfect for top stitching also! Again, a must have for making jeans. I really like using the right needle position. I hope you enjoyed and learned something! Until next time sew, love, and happiness!
UPDATE!
I’ve been sewing denim again…but now I have more toys to play with. I purchased the Levi’s buttons from Amazon. At the same time I also purchased more denim needles, the top stitching thread, and stronger fusible facing. I’ve recently found some really strong elastic that even makes the waistband of stretch lightweight denim hold it’s own around your middle. Probably not a problem for some of you 😉 but, as I age things like this are pretty important.
I really hesitated about the Levis buttons, I thought a special tool was needed to attach them to the garment. As it turns out there are a few really good tutorials online about installing these into your garment. I think they are going to be pretty snazzy on a jean jacket. I am amazed at all the variety of sewing notions available online. We are so lucky to have them at our fingertips.
