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.Press the black button to keep the presser foot horizontal in order to smoothly begin sewing at a thick seam.
Overcasting Presser Foot (Overedge Foot)
Sew with the edges of the fabric aligned with the guide. The prong in the opening of the presser foot presses down the edge of the fabric to prevent puckering. In addition, the amount of thread going into the stitching is adjusted by the thread crossing the prong, creating a clean finish with little shrinkage. This presser foot cannot be used to sew zigzag stitches or overcasting by 5-point zigzag.
Buttonhole Presser Foot
You can sew buttonholes of the appropriate size by simply placing the button in the button holder of the presser foot.
Decorate Stitch Presser Foot (Manual BH Presser Foot/Satin Stitch Foot)
The groove along the bottom of this presser foot ensures that the presser foot does not catch on the stitching, ensuring the fabric will be smoothly fed. Use to accurately sew a buttonhole near a thick seam that is hard to reach. Also Used to Manually Create Oversize Buttonholes.
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
Since this presser foot has a pin on the left side and on the right side for attaching it to the presser foot holder, you can attach this presser foot on either side of the needle, depending on which side of the zipper is being sewn. This presser foot can cleanly sew along the edges of the zipper without hitting the teeth.
Blind Stitch Presser Foot with adjustment guide / Blind Hem Foot with adjustment guide
By sewing with the fabric fold aligned on the guide of this presser foot,only a few threads of the fabric will be uniformly caught in the stitch. Adjust the guide position according to the fabric before sewing.
Quilt Guide
Insert this guide into the hole of the presser foot holder or the walking foot, and then sew while lightly tracing this guide along stitching. Adjust the spacing of the stitching by changing how far this guide is inserted.
Auxiliary Spool Pin (Additional Spool Pin)
Use this spool pin with a thread spool for twin needle sewing, spare machine threading or bobbin winding.
Bobbin
Since the bobbin type differs depending on your sewing machine model,be sure to use the bobbin designed for your machine.
Foot Controller
Controlling the sewing machine with your foot leaves both of your hands free while sewing.
