ZigZag Foot (A) with Black Button – Accessory of the Month May 2025

 

Do you wonder what the black button on this foot is used for?

It locks the foot in a horizontal position when the black button is held in while lowering the presser foot. This provides even feeding at the beginning of seams and helps when sewing over 3 to 12 layers of fabric, such as sewing over welt seams when hemming jeans. During sewing when you reach the point where the layers increase, lower the needle into the down position, raise the presser foot, hold in the black button and lower the foot, it locks in the horizontal position, continue sewing.

Anti Glue Embroidery Needle – Accessory of the Month April 2025

 

This needle has a special coating making it suitable for embroidery when stitching through fabric layers that are fixed with adhesive spray, iron-on fabric adhesive or glue. The needle itself has the same features as our regular embroidery needles, however the special coating reduces glue residue on the needle itself and the needle eye which minimizes thread breakage. Also, this needle has a longer stitch life, then a regular embroidery needle. Can also be used for applique when stitching through fabrics adhered to a base fabric.

Regular needle stitch life is approximately 8 hours depending on the fabric being stitched.
