Presser Feet

All-purpose Foot (J) (attached to the machine upon delivery)
This foot is used for general sewing on most types of fabric. The bottom of the
foot is flat, so that the fabric is held down firmly against the feed teeth while
sewing. It also has a wide slot so that the needle can move from left to right,
depending on which stitch you sew.
Zipper Foot (I)
This foot is used for inserting zippers. Attach the foot to the presser foot holder
on either side of the foot, depending on which side of the zipper is being sewn.
The Zipper Foot can also be used to create and insert piping.
Four–Step Buttonhole Foot (D)
This foot is used for making a 4–step buttonhole. This foot holds the fabric
securely as you sew the top, bottom, left side and right side of your buttonhole.
