It also makes sewing curves a breeze…
The “HD” stands for Heavy Duty which highlights the robustness of this foot and its shape originates from an industrial sewing machine attachment.
This advanced new foot can smoothly control materials such as leather and vinyl which are a risk to catch in the feed dogs. When using this foot, the base of the needle is clearly visible, making your work easier.
It’s for high speed straight stitch machines: for 9mm/7mm high shank models.
The HD Roller Foot
An innovative new foot that can smoothly control materials such as leather and vinyl which are prone to catch. When using this foot, the base of the needle is clearly visible, making your work easier.
Point 1 – Smooth feeding of fabric
Because the roller holds the material while rotating, materials such as leather and vinyl are fed smoothly.
Also makes sewing curves a breeze.
Applications: piping
Thick piping cord can also be sewn with the needle directly beside the cord, with no interference from the foot.
*Can be used with piping cord which is 17mm or less in diameter.
Point 2 – Adjust roller position relative to needle position
For great sewing results, position the roller and needle close to each other. As well as the role of holding down the fabric, this has the effect of keeping the stitch length as uniform as possible.
- With sharp curves, setting a short stitch length is also effective.
- Test sewing and then adjusting thread tension and stitch length is recommended.
Point 3 – The roller part is retractable
The roller can be retracted to the left side to make a space around the needle and allow for easier threading.
The roller part can be moved while pushing the screw at the top of the foot.
Point 4 – The handling of delicate materials
When working with delicate materials such as leather, enamel and vinyl, you can place a thin layer of paper between the roller and the feed dogs in order to prevent leaving marks on the material.
If the pressure is too strong, scratches or damage to the roller may also occur, so adjusting foot pressure to recommended values is advised.
(For recommended foot pressure for each sewing machine, please refer to the Roller foot instructions).
