Embroidery & Darning Foot (Slant Shank) The Singer Featherweight Shop

With the right instruction, feed-dogs covered or lowered, and the appropriate embroidery/darning attachment, Machine Embroidery can range from the ‘Practical’ (darning) to the ‘Artistic’!

 

You can start out simple – everything, as you know, takes practice. But, before you can start at all, you will certainly need this Embroidery/Darning Attachment to help you.

 

 

#1 ~ The foot has a snap-up and down mechanism which allows you to easily slip your Machine Embroidery Hoop in and out of position.

 

#2 ~ The wider hole allows easier stitch viewing.

 

I made the sample in the photos above in about 10 minutes – counting the time it took to change the thread colors.

 

Red-Work, Blue-Work, Green-Work, or what-ever-color suits your fancy are going to have an entirely different meaning with the ability to embroider it on your machine. Remember the old-fashioned Friendship quilts?  Take your finished quilt squares to a bridal shower and have all in the wedding party sign them in pencil or water-erasable fabric ink. Then follow their signature with your Embroidery Attachment – what a unique (cherished) gift that would be to present the bride. Or even as a baby gift, you could use a vintage iron on transfer with the oh-so-darling prints and patterns from yesteryear and embroider a Nursery-Rhyme Quilt.  My mother has one (which I hope to inherit someday) and it is one of her most-treasured possessions.

 

With a little practice, you’ll be able to follow a signature in no time at all. I watched a good friend of mine do it after just a couple samples of her own name. She finished an entire baby quilt with signatures from a baby shower.

 

Instructions for use will be included.
