Gathering Foot #16C is suitable for gathering lightweight-to-medium weight fabrics. The fabric is gathered automatically while being sewn.
What’s more, the special indentation in the sole of Gathering Foot #16C allows you to sew the material being gathered to a flat piece of fabric in a single operation. For this, the flat material is slipped into the indentation so that it isn’t gathered at the same time.
The #16C foot fits the wider feed dogs but does not accommodate the 9mm stitch width. Also available for 5.5mm machines with narrower feed dogs (#16).
