How to Use a Straight Stitch Foot with 5mm Measurement:

Attach the Straight Stitch Foot to your sewing machine according to your machine's instructions.

Set your sewing machine to the straight stitch mode and adjust the stitch width to 5mm if necessary.

Position your fabric under the foot, aligning the edge of the fabric with the 5mm guide or markings on the foot.

Lower the presser foot and begin sewing, ensuring that the fabric edge stays aligned with the guide or markings to maintain a 5mm seam allowance.

Keep the fabric moving evenly and consistently to achieve straight and precise stitching.

This foot is particularly useful when you need to sew straight seams with a fixed 5mm width, such as in quilting, garment construction, or other sewing projects that require accurate seam allowances. Ensure that the Straight Stitch Foot is compatible with your sewing machine model, as presser foot designs can vary between machines.
