Feltscaper

SA180S

Optional PQ foot accessory used for making felted projects.

Machine Set-Up:

Place feed dogs in down position before you install the Feltscaper. Make sure the machine is turned off before you install this accessory. The felting needles are very sharp. Follow the installation setup that comes with the accessory to ensure that the felting needles clear the sides of the needle felting foot and adjust the height to clear your materials.

Materials Needed for Sample:

Wool tweed, roving, wool needlepoint wool

General Sewing Directions:

Foot 18

Guide the work under the foot at a steady speed and movement. Arrange the roving/wool thread and anchor it with the needles. You may want to turn off the needle down button to make it easier to move from place to place. Adjust the Feltscaper “foot” level as you add more levels of yarn if your project doesn’t move easily under the unit. Empty the lint box frequently as you work. Keep your fingers away from the foot.

Specific ULT Sample Directions:

The sample used multi-color roving twisted in loops and anchored with the Feltscaper. Form other loops with 100 per cent wool needlepoint Persian yarn and anchor with the needles. Form a bow with the yarn and tack it down.
