Better Late Than Never
Why does it take me so long to try something new out? I'm talking about this Side Cutter sewing machine presser foot that I bought with my Necchi sewing machine years ago. I remember watching the guy demonstrate it and thought what a great idea so I wouldn't have to buy a serger. But then I never used it until yesterday. I wanted to make scarves for the bridesmaids and figured it was time to try it out. It works fairly well on a nice long straight seam but the problem is on the corners. The cutter goes kind of crazy and it's been eating up the material. Thank goodness I started with a bigger piece of material. What this does exactly is cut the edge of the material, roll the seam over and work a zig-zag stitch over it. It's perfect for the scarves. I still have to touch up the spots where the cutter went wild though. I think I would still like to get a rolled seam presser foot and then I wouldn't need to have the cutter. I'm sorry to say my presser feet with both machines are underutilized. I'll have to do something about that.
