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.
