I currently have a Tippmann Boss leather stitcher. I was wondering which presser foot is best for sewing leather piping or welting. I am attaching the link for all the presser feet they carry. Tippmann presser feet

Thanks in advance.

I'd say the right toe foot is your best option. But, it is not the same as having a real piping foot. A piping foot has a semi-round cutout in both pressor feet, on a walking foot machine, or on the left half of a single foot machine. This cutout allows the foot to ride on top of the welt as the needle sews right next to the right edge of the covered cord. A right toe foot is the next best option, but may need to be modified on a grinder to allow the left back side to clear the welt.
