The underbraider is a very useful attachment. It guides narrow braid or ribbon underneath the work so that it is sewn on with the bobbin thread. It is ideal for making edged hems on clothing, and looks particularly pretty on little girls' dresses. The braid must be narrow enough to pass freely though the guide on the underbraider.
The machine used in this video is a 1916 Singer 99K. - Навчання та стиль
I now know what are two items in my box of vintage attachments! And an "edged hem" technique as well! Thanks so much!
Great tutorial and what a lovely voice. Thank you for posting this.
I'm fascinated with the engineering that went into the functional attachment-gadgets to enhance the capabilities of these lovely machines. Thank you for your demonstration and explanation.
I am also amazed by the engineering, planning, and thinking that was the force behind developing these wonderful feet and sewing machine attachments. Have you done or will you do a complete series of videos explaining how to properly use all of the Singer feet and attachments. I think this would be extremely helpful for most people who sew. Many people use one or two feet because they don’t know how to use the other ones.
Would you be able to suggest a user manual for all Singer feet and attachments. Perhaps, you could post that link, whether the booklet be free or for pay. I feel I need a written reminder to use these feet and attachments correctly. Otherwise, with a reference, I will forget, and many of them will sit in the box unused. Thank you for any additional help you could offer, whether it be in video format, an online link that can be printed, or a booklet that could be purchased.
Thank you, I was wondering why I would need braid on the underneath, now I see! what a lovely quick and easy way to edge t-shirts, tablecloths, blouses, light weight curtains, bunting, childrens wear etc etc. Beautiful demo and love your description of how you did it too :)
Thank you! It's fun to see how those gadgets work!
Thank you!
This has been the most useful video with demonstration. You have revealed the mystery of the last two attachments that I got with my Singer 99K. The underbraider plate (although a bit different than yours) and the quilting foot. AND you showed how to use them. Thank you indeed!
I love these videos... Your accent makes me feel as if Her Majesty is bestowing some secret knowledge upon me. he he he.
Hello goldnchocolate,
This is a hand machine - there is a still photo of it at the beginning of the video. We lined the camera up with the machine so it gave the view that you would have if you were sitting down and sewing. When you see the machine sewing on video I was standing behind the tripod with the camera by my left shoulder, my left hand was coming round the left hand side of the camera and I was using my right hand to turn the handle.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lizzie Lenard I wondered how you were getting that position on the camera. Great, clear footage. Thanks!
Thanks for a very clear and helpful film.....I have a box of bits so will check it out!
You have a lovely voice and a great tutorial for this vintage foot. Thank you for clearly showing and explaining how it works.
You have a beautiful way of speaking … its lovely to hear British English rather than American. Reminds me of Lady Di
Thank you. Your great videos have been training a good deal of people in the vintage sewing world! Me included who just wants to learn how to treadle and has bought the third absolutely pristine 201 (in a treadle cabinet) and as a bonus received a full box of accessories! Underbraider included, but did not understand much from the original pristine Singer manual.
Man, not only did I learn something great but it was like listening to Sarah Brightman instructing me. I might play this over and over just for the voice.
Thank you,thank you,thank you! Can't wait to try mine out now - I've been a little hestitant. Love all your videos1
Excellent little gadget ! Never seen one used before 👍🙂
Thank you very much. What a great and professional demonstration! I was wondering why I have an extra screw that does not fit anywhere else!
thanks a mill for explaining every thing.
Thanks for a informative video!
Thanks .. Good to know.. I'm new in these.. Dint know about it hope my new machine has it.. But thanks for the tip... Of how to do it... Hope u can make more videos...
aunque no se ingles me ha servido de mucho ver tus videos .yo tengo una igual de un familiar y no sabia como funcionaba . la tenia guardada gracias Lizzie.
Gracias Cristina - me encanta mucho ayudar a la gente en todas partes del mundo, y en los videos siempre intento explicar con las acciones y fotos, no solo con la narracion. Con abrazos de Inglaterra
Gracias a ti.
Very nice! 😌
Very well thank you for this wonderful demonstration
Thank you so much
You speak sooooo beautifully....
Thank you for taking time to make your videos. They are all wonderful!! Are you treadling this machine or using a handcrank?
I'll try it.
Thank you!!!!!
Lizzie, I like your videos very much, especially since you are so clear with well-focused pictures. It seems like there is no fabric guide for the item being embellished with the ribbon. It seems like your hand must be very steady, trusting that you are feeding the hem exactly right, so the ribbon is properly positioned. Your results here are truly beautiful. What is the maximum width of ribbon that can be fed under the hemmed fabric? Thanks once again.
Maximum width of ribbon? Very narrow. It has to fit through the underbraider.
Lizzie Lenard, do you know the width of the opening in the underbraider for ribbon?
No.
Excellent job of making a clear instructional video.
What is the advantage of the underbraider as opposed to simply stitching the the ribbon/braid in place on the upper surface of the work?
Manalto Would guess, half the work and one less seam, thereby reducing bulk, etc. When hemming then applying a top finish (i.e., braid, ribbon or couching) there will be a seam to content with leading to possible wonky stitching. One CAN fo this in two steps, but will necessarily entail more work, time and careful placement of top finish. It is often fun and a challenge to a different path to the same destination.
Amei vídeo obrigada
Hello, is there a method to use braiding in this way but to create curved shapes.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
These vintage feet are amazing, I wonder why you couldn’t put the hem seam right side up with the red ribbon on top of that, so you can see the progress as you sew. There must be a reason, but I’d like to try it out sometime. Thank you.
Not possible with this attachment, Michael. You would need a braiding foot if you wanted the ribbon to be sewn on top.

Lizzie, thanks for that explanation. I’m still learning how to properly use all the various feel effectively. Have a great day.
Lizzie, the pictures of the over-brader feet that you sent are very helpful to me. I appreciate your assistance.
Wow ye chahiye kaha milega?
Oh wow! Did I see right? Hand crank machine?? 😀
I have never seen that attachment.
