Bodice Sewing
The Two Must Have Sewing Machine Feet – Walking Foot - Roller Foot
The present day advanced sewing machines come with several advanced features. Two such important sewing machine types are the walking foot sewing machines and the roller foot sewing machines.
The Roller Foot Sewing Machine:
This type of sewing machine works fantastic on leather, vinyl and also on suede. It is not easy to sew these materials. The layers between these materials are prone to shifting, making stitching impossible.
A normal sewing machine with regular foot causes a lot of friction and the layers get stuck under the sewing machine. The materials that are getting stitches are very soft and so there are a lot of problems in stitching them.
These problems can be avoided by using a roller foot sewing machine. The machine rolls over the material that is getting stitched therefore the stitching is smoother and there is less amount of friction than what it would have been otherwise. When the fabrics that are being stitched are heavy like canvass and denims, there is a lot of ease in the process. The seams that are being formed on the clothes are bulky and uneven.
The Walking Foot Sewing Machine:
This machine is perfect for fabrics such as plaids and stripes. It is good for patterns as well. The stitching that is done on the layers of the top and those of the bottom are done evenly.
Take A Look At Some Of The Special Features Of The Roller Foot And The Walking Foot Sewing Machines:
• Great portability: these swing machines are easily portable. You can keep them inside your cabinets. You can carry them easily from place to place without any trouble as such.
• Large sewing area: both these machines have a large sewing area which facilitates sewing.
• Motor: the motor is designed in such a way as to give you a reliable stitching and compact work.
• Even feed foot: when you are sewing really tough fabrics which tend to slip, this is of great help. In case you are stitching georgette fabrics, a velvet bodice or for that matter a leather skirt, things can get really messy. But since these even feed foot sewing machine attachments the problems can easily be overcome and the stitching can be done easily and pretty fast.
• Extra amount of space is provided if you have to stitch a thick fabric: there is a lever present which you have to lift if you need extra room for stitching fat fabrics. You can adjust this level up to 12 mm.
• Automatic thread timer: there is an automatic thread timer attached to the sewing machines. The threads are trimmed just by pressing the button at the foot of the machine. This fastens the entire process of sewing. There is no wastage of thread. The amount that you need is cut by the machine.
Stitching is not such a painful exercise as long as you are using these sewing machines.

I'd like to have a step by step tutorial on how to make a custom bodice?
Im not talking about a pattern...I want to sew it custom fitted..I live in India so sewing classes around here wont teach me that
if you won't use a pattern at all, then you'll need to design one yourself.... use a piece of muslin or other spare fabric and cut out a basic square that is large enough to fit over your entire front and underarm, from the top of the shoulders to the waist with several inches to spare on each edge..... cut one to match for the back..... stitch them together at the shoulder line and start from there... choose a neckline, do darts for the bust line, gather the waist..... then decide on sleeves and how to inset them..... cut them, stitch them in, then try the whole thing on.... inside out.... pin up what needs tightened or mark hwere it's too tight to let it out.... when you're happy, you have a pattern of your own , fitted to you, to take apart and use as a cutting guide for the real fabric......
you HAVE to have a pattern of some sort.... unless you're making a caftan!!....
