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.
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.
• The tape is attached as the seam is sewn.
