Variety of Presser Feet and Their Uses

1 Zigzag foot A:

This is the most versatile foot. It can be used for various stitches including straight stitches and zigzag stitches. It is designed to achieve firm and neat seam results.

2 Overedge foot C:

This foot is exclusively for overedging. The brush on the foot effectively prevents skipped stitches on the raw edge of fabrics.

3 Rolled hem foot D:

This special foot is for sewing a rolled hem. The curl of the foot helps to form a hem at a constant width.

4 Zipper foot E:

This foot is for sewing zippers. The zipper teeth are guided through the grooves on the bottom of the foot.

5 Satin stitch foot F:

This clear plastic foot is ideal for satin stitches and decorative stitches. The center groove on the bottom of the foot ensures smooth feeding of dense stitches.

6 Craft foot F-2:

This is an open toe satin stitch foot for patchwork and appliqué.

7 Blind hem foot G:

This foot is specially designed for blind hemming. The guide on the foot helps feed the fabric and sew a straight and nearly invisible blind-hem.

8 Cording foot:

This foot is specially designed to hold one or three strands of cording to create braiding.

9 Overcasting Foot M:

This foot is specially designed to simulate professional style overlocking. The wires on the foot effectively prevent the fabric edge from puckering or rolling.

10 1/4” seam foot O:

This foot is useful for patchwork piecing. The guide on the foot maintains an exact 1/4” (0.7 cm) seam allowance.

11 Basting/darning foot P-2:

This is a special foot for basting. It holds the fabric while taking a stitch, synchronizing with the needle bar movement. This foot can also be used for freemotion embroidery or quilting.

12 Automatic buttonhole foot R:

This foot is for buttonholes and for darning. Place a button in the button holder on the rear of the foot. This automatically sets the buttonhole size.

13 Even feed foot:

This is a special attachment for hard-to- feed materials. This foot effectively prevents fabrics from shifting and puckering. It is great for quilting and matching plaids.
