TEXI Ballerina manual operation
APPLIQUE
1. Position the applique on fabric with glue, fusible iron on stabilizer
or basting stitches.
2. Sew along the edge of the applique. Align the straight part of the stitch
with the edge of the applique to give this project a handmade
appearance.
3. When pivoting corners, lower the needle in the right side of the stitch.
Raise the presser foot and use the needle to pivot and turn the fabric.
INSERT ZIPPERS
Align the right side of the left side of the zipper foot pin with the presser
foot holder, lower the presser foot lever to attach the foot.
1. Needle stitches to the left of foot.
2. Needle stitches to the right of foot.
3. To insert zippers, consult the zipper package for instructions on how
to prepare zipper placket and place zipper. To sew close to the zipper
on the right side, snap the zipper foot onto the presser foot holder on
the left side so the needle passes through the opening on the left side
of the foot. Snap the foot onto the presser foot holder on the other
side of the foot to sew close to the left side to the zipper.
To insert piping, purchase pre-made piping or cover cording with a bias
strip of fabric using the zipper foot snapped on to the right side of
the presser foot holder. Place the piping between two layers of fabric.
Stitch with the piping next to the foot so the stitching is tight against
the cord.
