Buying guides
Choose a foot for the stitch and the machine.
Check which holder, machine variant and stitch the foot requires.
How to check whether a presser foot fits your sewing machine
The quickest check starts with the machine’s exact model. The mount, the stitch you plan to use, and any separate holder decide which foot to buy.
Read guide ↗Standard, adjustable and invisible zipper feet
Choose by the closure you are installing and the side the needle needs to reach. A bulky seam or a narrow allowance can change the foot you want even on the same machine.
Read guide ↗Choose a rolled hem, blind hem or overcast finish
Start with the edge you want to see when the piece is finished. A narrow rolled edge, a concealed hem stitch and an overcast edge solve different problems.
Read guide ↗Walking foot or free-motion foot for a layered project?
Start with the path of the stitches. A walking foot supports machine-fed rows across layers. Free motion gives you control of the movement needed for curves and motifs.
Read guide ↗Buttonhole feet, button sewing feet and stabilizer plates
A buttonhole foot makes the opening in the fabric. A button sewing foot holds the button while you sew it on. Start with the step you need to complete and the machine’s documented stitch.
Read guide ↗Pick a specialty foot for gathers, piping or decorative cord
A specialty foot pays off when it handles a specific part of the job. Decide whether you want the fabric gathered, cord enclosed inside a seam, or cords held in place on top.
