Does anyone have any experience with edge guide presser feet?  I've seen a couple of different designs and am wondering if one is better than the other.

I use edge guide presser feet on my walking foot machines that take Singer 111 type feet. I have them from 1/8 to 3/8 inch from the edge guide to the needle. I leave the inside foot on and just change the outside presser foot to whatever configuration I need. The edge guides are really good as long as you have a straight edge to follow. It gets a little dicey if there is a slope, or a thin edge. They have a problem on inside curves unless the radius is large, like on a vest armhole..

Thanks for the reply.  Does yours have the long spring or is it a more self contained model?

All my edge guide feet have a two direction torsion spring mounted over a screw. The spring pushes down on the edge guide.
