Piping
When
working
with
thin
delicate
material
we
recommend
you
to
use
a
gimp
thread
(cotton,
size
suiting
the
fabric
to
be
sewn).
You should
also
use
a
aimp
thread
when
sewina
dium-wide
piping
in fairly
thick
fabric.
(Wide
piping
in
thick
fabric
is
done
without
gimp
thread.)
Sewing
with
a
gimp
thread
requires
a
needle
plate
with
a
guide
slot
in
front
of
the
needle
hole
(see
picture
on
page
37.
Pass
the
gimp
thread
through
the
cut-out
at
the
front
edge
of
the
needle
plate
and
pull
it
up through
the
guide
slot
located
in
front
of
the needle
hole
as pictured
on
page
37
and
described
on
page
38 “Hemstitching
with
Twinhem
Needle”).
Deposit
the
hank
of
thread
in
your
lap where
it
will
unwind
itself.
