Split Toe Shirring / Gathering Foot Slant Needle - Singer Sewing Machine Part # 161169

The Split Toe Shirring / Gathering Foot Slant Needle, part number 161169, is a specialized sewing machine presser foot that simplifies the process of making gathers and shirring. To create gathers, use thin elastic thread in the bobbin and adjust the tension to a lower setting (typically 0 or 1) for more defined gathers. Shirring is another technique that adds texture to fabric by creating rows of puckered stitches. To achieve this effect, hand wind elastic thread onto the bobbin and insert it into the bobbin case. Use normal tension and the highest stitch length when sewing. For more flexible gathers, steam the fabric to shrink the elastic thread.

Remember, this foot allows you to achieve lovely gathered and shirred effects effortlessly!
