The Blindhem Foot is perfect for sewing invisible hems. Use it to sew the elastic blindhem for an optional finish and you won‘t need additional finishing on the hem edge. Sewing by hand is no longer necessary.


Gathering FootGathering is a classic decorative technique. It‘s easy with this ‚ special foot, which is especially useful for sewing flounces on cushions and curtains or for attaching gathered seams on children‘s clothing. You can simultaneously stitch and gather two layers of fabric quickly and easily.


Open Toe Appliqué FootPerfect for appliqué and other sewing applications requiring an unobstructed view of the sewing area. Produce beautiful appliqué quickly and easily with this foot. Use with a pin-stitch or shell-edging program to achieve an appliqué with the look of handsewn overcasting.


The Twin Welting Foot is used to make trim for your home dec projects like pillows, cushions and other home accessories.



Universal or zigzagThis all-purpose presser foot is the default for most straight and zigzag stitching, and even many decorative stitches.

ZipperZipper feet allow you to stitch close to the zipper coils, helping to create a neat appearance and allowing proper zipper functioning.


ButtonholeButtonhole feet come in a variety of styles, but all help to create neat and uniform buttonholes on your garments. Those with a built-in memory allow you to repeat the same size quickly and easily.

Blind hemThis foot allows you to create an almost-invisible hem efficiently using your machine.


OverlockThe overlock foot will neaten seam edges on knits and wovens on your sewing machine. If you don’t own a serger or it is not suitable for your project, this foot is a nice alternative.

PintuckCommonly seen on heirloom sewing projects, the pintuck foot adds a sweet touch to baby garments and fine lingerie. Pintuck feet come in a variety of sizes — 3, 5, 7 and even 9 grooves — to create different size tucks on your fabric using a double needle.


EdgestitchVery similar to a blind stitch hem foot, the edge stitch foot allows you to create perfectly straight topstitching. (My. Favorite. Foot. Ever.)

Invisible zipperTotally worth the money, and probably my second most-used specialty foot.


Open toe embroideryThis foot is especially handy if you like to do a bit of free-motion embroidery on your sewing projects, because you can see exactly where you are headed!

JeansIf you like sewing jeans, this handy foot will help you make neat, straight seams on denim and other heavy fabrics.


Straight stitch footI love making shirts, and use the straight stitch foot to better control the fabric when using short stitches on fine cotton fabric. Using this foot and a straight stitch plate, it is impossible to “punch” fabric down under the throat plate of your sewing machine.

Patchwork footI call this my quarter-inch foot, and it is definitely not just for quilters. Great for doll clothes and many small shirt-making seams, too.


Non-stick footIf you are hankering to sew with leather or faux leather, the Teflon foot will help prevent sticking on the surface while you are stitching.

Rolled hemmerThe rolled hem foot allows you to turn a fabric under twice and produce a neat and lovely hem. There are several different sizes that can handle delicate as well as heavier weight fabrics.


Fell footThis foot streamlines producing a felled seam, and some manufacturers produce a variety of finished felled seam widths.

Ruffler attachmentNot exactly a presser foot, more of an accessory, the ruffler makes uniform pleats in a range of sizes quickly and easily. It is essential if you have a household of girly-girls!
