Fringe Presser Foot

A Fringe is a decorative edge of hanging threads left loose. a Fringe presser foot also called as looper foot is a sewing machine attachment used to create a loopy surface texture which can be used for various decorative applications. The key feature of the fringe foot is the raised central metal bar for creating loops. The original purpose for this foot was to create tailor's tacks however it can be used to create decorative fringes, chenille texture, 3D textured stitches or create custom trims.

To Use It: Attach the fringe foot instead of normal presser foot, set the machine to a zig-zag stitch so that the needle goes back and forth over the central bar creating looser stitches and more thread in each stitch. This extra thread forms loops which can be manipulated to create a fringe (by cutting loops with scissors after stitching) or textured look on the fabric.
