Pfaff 620117896 Elastic presser foot

The elastic presser foot guides and stretches the narrow (6-12 mm) elastic bands as you sew them onto the fabric. It is perfect for sportswear, lingerie and other techniques for inserting elastic bands.

• Prepare the serger for the desired stitch.
• Loosen the screw on the front of the foot to apply rubber bands to reduce tension on the roller. Insert the elastic band into the presser foot.
• Fit the presser foot and pull the elastic until it reaches behind the presser foot.
• Tighten the tensioning screw to tighten the elastic.
• Turn the handwheel over to sew a few stitches and secure the elastic.
• Place the fabric under the presser foot and sew the elastic and fabric together.
• Check the spot and adjust the tension if necessary.

Note: To adjust the strap tension:

• Turn the tensioning screw to the right to increase tension
• Turn it to the left to loosen it.
• Be careful not to pull the fabric while sewing.
