couching foot

Just some thoughts, Estelle, since I don't speak Husqvarna but have the greatest respect for their possibilities. My mind is trying to combine couching (and certainly there are several feet that can do that) and FM - as in the freedom to twist and turn at will. The duty of the couching foot is to hold something fancy while stitching to keep it in place; easy enough with practice. What I'm thinking is it would be a simple (?) matter of having your presser foot Pressure adjusted so that the foot could securely hold the braid (or whatever) at the same time as allowing you to wander without feeddog interference. I'll bet you can. I'll bet it will only take some experimenting and adjusting until you get it just right. What a wonderful concept. You can do it and we want to see. Polly

Thanks Polly. I am not too sure how to adjust. Wanting the easy option ,and hope one of my DC will get it for me for Christmas!

Thank you so much for that link, I have emailed the Uk link I found and hope they can help. There was no sign of one on the accessories page I found. It might not be any good for my 5 year old Lily. Fingers crossed.

Estelle, with my Viking machines I free motion with the open toe applique foot. Lower the foot pressure to almost nothing, drop the feed dogs and have a great set up. I also have a small guide that hooks onto the toe of the foot to hold yarn, etc. for couching. I'm sure that the combination would work. (But not something I have yet done.)

good luck, Pati, > Has anyone seen or heard of a FM couching foot for my Husqvarna. I can se= e a

Thanks Linda. That sounds like the one a friend of mine has for her Bernie. She loves it. I have just heard back from Husqvarna and they say the FM couching set will not fit my Lily. I guess it is too old a five years, but I love it ,and don't have the funds anyhow.I will just have to do it the slow way. A couple of stitches needle down turn and so on!lol
