The type of foot to use depends on the sewing project and desired design. Understanding the fabric also play important role to which foot is best fit for a sewing project.
Teflon-coated feet make it easier for the material to move smoothly, while others produce a specific sort of stitch and, if necessary, can mimic the look and method of a hand stitch.
“Teflon Foot” is used on sticky fabrics like fake leather. Due to its non-stick coating, there is no surface dragging when walking on it.
There are left- or right-sided attachments for a one-sided zipper foot. It enables sewing very near the raised edge of the zipper teeth. For sewing centered, lapped, open-ended, and fly-front zips, use the one-sided zipper foot. Any sewing close to a raised edge can also be done with this foot.
Concealed zip feet, also known as invisible zip feet, are used to insert invisible zips. The zipper’s teeth unroll before the needle, allowing the needle to stitch closely under the teeth as it passes through the grooves in the foot.
The High-Low Foot is used for an uneven terrain, the foot features varied levels on the bottom and one side that is shorter than the other. When sewing a sink stitch, such as on a waistband finish, use this foot.
An assembling /Gathers Foot produces gentle gathers.For the gathered fabric to fit, the underside of the foot is lifted behind the needle. Stitch length controls how much collecting occurs.
The bottom of the Piping Foot features a slot that the piping cord can feed through to be attached to the material.
When finishing the edge of lightweight fabrics, the Pin Hem Foot, also known as the Roll Hem Foot, is employed. The fabric is folded twice by the foot before being stitched; the raw edge is then fed through the foot attachment.
