Different widths of ribbon can be sewn on, depending on which presser foot guide is used (see illustration):

Sequin tapes up to 6 mm wide can be sewn on using this presser foot. Pull the sequin tape backwards through the lower opening (1) of the presser foot. Sew on the tape, sewing a few securing stitches at the beginning and end of the seam. It is recommended to use a thread that is the same colour as the sequins or a transparent thread.
