This is a vintage Singer Zipper or Cording Attachment with a narrow foot - making it easy to maneuver in tight places.  Adjustable Guide enables the foot to shift from left to right or right to left depending on which side you are seaming. Some have even found it useful as a replacement to the original foot often missing from the original Singercraft Fagoter set.

My children are required to wear uniforms at the school they attend, so to make a jumper dress a bit more interesting (using the Oliver + S Tea Party Dress Pattern) I embellished the seams with piping.



Using the narrower bias cutting lines on my rotary cutting mat as a guide, I cut several long strips of bias twill (strips were long enough to do each piped section of the garment).  Next, folding the bias in half and inserting a narrow cord, I stitched my own piping to match the dress fabric using this Narrow Zipper Foot Attachment. Stitching right up next to the cord was quite easy!  Just be a bit more careful with your fingers so as not to get them caught under the needle!





Because the Oliver + S Tea Party Dress calls for a 1/2 inch seam and the piping is also a 1/2 inch wide, I needed to off-set the piping by 1/8 inch and then baste it with a 3/8 inch seam allowance. Then I was able to stitch the two sections together with a 1/2 inch seam allowance as instructed in the pattern, which revealed just the right amount of piping on the finished garment.



To finish the thick twill seams and to prevent shifting of all the layers, I needed to use a Walking Foot attachment.  I also needed to grade all five fabric layers of the seam. This took quite a bit of time, but it always makes for a more professional-looking finish. Of course, my Singer Featherweight top-stitched through all the layers perfectly!
