How to Use the Multipurpose Elastic Foot in 2025

Achieve precise results on overlock or coverstitch machines using the updated Multipurpose Elastic Foot and Elastic Gathering Guide—designed for elastic tape and thread applications.

Setup Instructions

• Choose your stitch type: either 3-thread wide overedge or 4-thread overedge seam.
• Select the correct Elastic Gathering Guide based on your elastic width.

Installation and Adjustment

• Attach the Elastic Gathering Guide onto the elastic foot.
• Loosen the screw at the top and insert the elastic into the guide slot.
• Pull the elastic beneath the foot, extending it behind the presser foot.
• Tighten the screw to set the desired gathering ratio.
• Align the adjustable guide so the elastic feeds directly under the needles.

Sewing Process

• Place fabric under the elastic strip.
• Begin stitching manually with the handwheel for better control.
• Continue sewing at medium speed, allowing the guide to gather and feed the elastic evenly.
