Vintage meets modern.
As it happens, the new Juki is a low shank machine which means that all those old Greist attachments work on Juki.
I need to do a narrow hem on the black circle skirt. Although I was able to get several of the Greist attachments to work on my other machines, I could never get the narrow hemmer to work. But it works perfectly on the Juki!
Because the narrow hemmer is so small, the hem needs to be prepped a little so that the fabric rolls smoothly over the cone that rolls the hem over before it gets stitched. The seams pose a bit of a problem because they tend to get caught up in the cone.
And unrelated to this- I finished the self-drafted skirt, but no pictures just yet.
