awharness Report post Posted February 19, 2010 Seems like everyone is crazy about sewing machines on here. I was just wondering what everyones favorite feet are! Reguardless of machine, what does everyone use? any unusual feet? It seems like there are a lot of feet and a lot of modifications that people use, feet to cut groves for rounds, welting feet or even just narrow harness feet. Please chime in sewing machine vendors, what do you offer for feet and what makes them special! I know I would be intrested in what makers have to offer! Look forward to hearing eveyrones opinion! Thanks! -Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! -Andrew Andrew; I use a variety of pressor feet on that National walking foot machine you saw at my house. But, the set I use the most has a smooth left toe and inner foot. If you want to add feet, I'd recommend a 1/4" welting foot set and maybe a double split toe foot for added hold-down force. As for the stitch-in-the-ditch foot, you may have to make your own with a small grinder or sander to modify a regular inner foot. Or, just use a hand groover before you sew and an edge guide while sewing. The Adler you got from me has a nice edge guide. One type of foot I used to have for my previous ULS machine was a stepper foot (set). This was a right toe only foot that had a half round protrusion with narrow points on the bottom, on the back of the toe. The points were spaced to push the thread down, behind the needle, at the preset spi setting (5, 6, 7 ,8, etc). It acted just like a hand rolling overstitch wheel. It was hell on the leather if you turned a corner or sewed an English point on a strap, because the overstitch points would move out of the thread track and mark the leather.
