One of the most popular presser feet for all types of sewing, this essential foot is one that gives obvious results. As the name implies, it is designed for stitching along an edge. Place the blade or guide of the foot along a fabric edge and adjust the needle position to the right or left and you’ll have stitches perfectly parallel to the edge. Adjust the needle position farther from the edge for beautifully placed topstitching. Also excellent for understitching facings; place the blade in the well of the seam and adjust the needle position to stitch the seam allowances to the facing, preventing it from rolling to the outside.
