Fancy Stitch Foot<br />
The IDT System engages with many of<br />
the presser feet provided with the PFAFF<br />
creative 4.5 to ensure even feeding<br />
of fabrics and smooth stitching. After<br />
unzipping the zipper about half way I<br />
used presser foot 1A to sew the side<br />
seams, then the bottom one closed.<br />
Blindhem Foot<br />
Next I switched to the blindhem foot with<br />
IDT System and used it to overlock the<br />
seams so they wouldn’t unravel with use.<br />
It’s the first time I’ve used this foot and<br />
found it interesting – usually I just keep<br />
going with a regular foot because it’s<br />
easier than switching. With the PFAFF<br />
creative 4.5 it’s easy to change feet –<br />
you simply push down on the foot to<br />
release it and push it up to attach it to<br />
the machine.<br />
No unwinding a screw and making<br />
sure it doesn’t roll away!<br />
I used stitch 1.2.7 Closed Overlock and<br />
the blindhem foot to overlock the side<br />
and bottom seams. You could also do<br />
the same to the two zipper seams, but I<br />
didn’t.<br />
Quick to Make Zippered Case<br />
All that’s left to do is turn the case right<br />
side out, close the zipper and it’s ready!<br />
The case is perfect for packing my cutting<br />
tools safely to take to a quilting workshop<br />
or retreat. The selection of presser feet<br />
with the PFAFF creative 4.5 helped me<br />
create this quick project in no time.<br />
