Closer look at the dress “Viola”

The dress “Viola” is made from stretchy imitation leather which brings several advantages: The material allows for more movement, it does not need to be finished and no hems are needed! We recommend using the Roller Foot #51, Zigzag Foot with Non-Stick Sole #52 and the Invisible Zipper Foot #35 to work with this material to improve the fabric feed.
