featherweight one thread embroidery attachment
« on: September 22, 2019, 17:13:46 PM »
Has anyone seen this?  https://vimeo.com/107792652
I want one!  It folds the thread into a loop and stitches it down to make a beautiful chain stitch on top of the fabric. Like couching but with a single thread.  Unfortunately they are very rare and cost hundreds. There is a U spring on it which is irreplaceable.  Surely there are spring manufacturers still?
 Watch the video to see the slow motion demo. Beautiful.

Yes, one of the most sought after extras for a featherweight - you'll find info about them on the featherweight shop site too. But pricey pricey  :(
