Standard Presser Foot
It can be used to sew lightweight to heavyweight materials.The wide needle entry opening allows this presser foot to be used for a variety of fabrics and applications, from straight stitches to zigzag stitches.
Buttonhole Presser Foot
You can sew buttonholes of the appropriate size by simply placing the button in the button holder of the presser foot.
Button Attaching Presser Foot
Be sure to first lower the feed dog so the fabric is not fed and adjust the zigzag width so the needle enters the holes in the button. To create a shank for the button, insert an awl or another similar object into the groove in the presser foot before sewing on the button so that the stitching will create a loop suitable for the thickness of the fabric.
Zipper Presser Foot
You can lower the feed dog for sewing button or free-motion quilting by simply moving the lever.*Quilting foot is an optional part
