Hi Kevin,

Your DNU-1541 uses the same feet as a Singer 111, Artisan 618, Consew 206, Yada, Yada. Did you want to make cord, install zippers or what? For zippers you can use just a left or right foot. For making or installing welts, you will need a welting foot set, they come in a bunch of sizes up to 1/2 inch or so. They work for making cording and installing in upholstery. The feet are usually available from most trim shop suppliers for the 111, Pfaff feet are a little harder to find. This guy has an eBay store and is pretty reputable:

Thanks for the info, I am smarter now than I was a couple of minutes ago! You know what they say: If your not learning something everyday, your dead.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could help me out with what size to get. Do I buy a 1/8 inch if i have 1/8 cording or do I buy larger to account for thickness of leather?

Hi Kevin,

Buy it by finished size, like you would buy it on the roll.

Okay, I'm sorry if I sound dumb, but let me clarify. If I have cording core that is 1/8" and am wrapping it with leather that is 1/16' thick, what size welting foot do i need?

Hi Kevin,

1/4 inch foot will work fine, if you can't get that a 3/16 or 5/16 will work too. If you're going to be doing corners, see if you can get a cut back foot (it is relieved on the back corner of the foot so you can make a sharp corner with it), if not it may be grinding time. The first, most useful, and most dangerous power tool in the shop is the grinder.

See how the back is relieved:

Thank you very much for all your help. I've got three new presser foot sets on the way!

I know that this a old thread but I would have titled it exactly the same.

What I'm looking for, and could not find so far, is a cording foot to actually sew a cord on top of the fabric. I need the needle to be positioned at the center of the cord and not offset the the side like on the cording/welting foots I find everywhere.

Thanks

Martin
