How the 1-Hole Special Purpose Foot Works:

This Singer foot combines two important features for decorative work:

Raised Center Tunnel (Groove): The underside features a channel running along the middle that provides clearance for dense satin stitches. This prevents thread bulk from dragging on the feed dogs, eliminating puckering and allowing smooth fabric feeding.

Single Cord Hole: The foot includes one hole at the front for inserting a filler cord (thin yarn, perle cotton, or decorative cord). As you stitch over the cord with a zigzag or decorative stitch, it creates a raised, dimensional effect – a technique known as couching.

Open Design for Visibility: The clear or open design provides excellent visibility of the stitching area, crucial for accurate cord placement and decorative stitching.

Perfect For:

• Single Cord Couching – Attach one decorative cord, yarn, or trim to fabric surface
• Satin Stitching – Dense, closely-spaced zigzag stitches for decorative work
• Appliqué – Secure fabric pieces with beautiful satin stitch edges
• Decorative Edging – Add a single cord trim to edges
• Monogramming – Create satin stitch letters and designs
• Simple Ornamental Work – Decorative stitches with single cord accent
• Beginner Cording Projects – Learn couching techniques with one cord

How to Use:

1. Install the foot: Attach the 1-hole special purpose foot to your Singer slant needle machine
2. Thread the cord: Insert decorative cord through the single hole at the front
3. Select your stitch: Choose a zigzag, satin stitch, or decorative stitch
4. Adjust stitch settings: Set stitch width to cover the cord, adjust length as desired
5. Sew: The foot guides the cord while the tunnel manages thread bulk for smooth results

What is Couching?

Couching is a decorative technique where you attach a cord, yarn, or trim to the surface of fabric using stitches. The cord passes through the hole in the foot and lies on top of the fabric while your machine stitches over it, securing it in place. This creates a raised, dimensional decorative effect that adds texture and visual interest to your projects.
