新壓腳到~New presser feet

玩拼布到現在一年多了

我總算狠下心買了貴貴的壓腳

It's been more than one year

since I picked up quilting. And finally I bought

essential presser feet yesterday.

均勻壓布腳(日製): A Walking foot:

自由曲線壓腳(台製) A darning/free motion foot

因為這兩種壓腳必須拆除腳脛,我把裝置的過程拍下來

These are the screw-on type of feet.

Below is how to remove the foot holder to attach a walking foot:

1. 把針和壓腳抬起,壓腳卸下

(Raise the needle and presser foot,

remove the latter.)

2. 把螺絲逆時針轉開,卸下腳脛

(Loosen the screw to remove the foot holder.)

3. 將均勻壓布腳中間部份卡在螺絲跟柱子中間,這時控制桿會自然落在鎖針的黑色螺絲鉗上,再把螺絲順時針鎖緊即可.(Attach the walking foot to the presser bar with the lever on the needle clamp, and secure it with the screw.)

4. 把控制桿推入凹槽中,可以調整寬度,而不用畫線吧,我猜.
(Push the quilting guide downward into the slot.)

I'm not sure what it's for exactly. Maybe with the guide we don't need to draw quilting lines in advance?)

自由曲線壓腳也同樣裝法

(Do the same thing to attach the free motion foot.)

自由曲線壓腳還要做一個下沉送布齒的動作

不好拍照,乾脆獻醜錄下來.反正我是野人嘛,不怕醜.^o^
The feed dog is to be lowered while using the darning foot.

I have a short video for how to lower the feed dog.

(Odd enough that it's not on my machine manual.

I learned this from the foot seller. The video isn't bilingual, though :p

I look forward to using the walking foot to finish my rose bag.

Next week I'll definitely post it on here.

But not today, because it's Moon Festival.

We're having a family feast tonight. ^^*
