This time I want to share an idea on how to make a homemade presser foot to sew French seams with piping in the sewing junction.
I made this foot out of a standard presser foot. It was necessary to fatten/refill one of the sides with some welding. The rough side was then shaped by cutting off the excess. A rounded shape cavity was done on the bottom. This recess houses and keeps in place the piping cord. It was made to a standard measure of plastic piping cord (2.6 mm thick plus material (vinyl/leather over) As I am using a single needle machine the sewing is done one side first then the other one. At the end the outcome is twin stitches at a distance of 1/2" half of an inch between the lines of stitches, leaving the red piping in the center.
By having this first rough prototype a lathe operator will do a flawless new presser foot for me. He will use a milling machine to make it.
In fact, this homemade presser foot will help me a lot for a next video that will show French seams with piping trim in the center junction.
I hope you find in this video some motivation and inspiration to achieve a similar project!
