Course Update: The 5 Main Presser Feet

Hey Everyone! Just to let you know I have finished the sewing machine section of the course and will be starting the sewing section soon.

Anyway in the last few lessons today, we covered the different types of presser feet and their functions.




Something I didn't know is there are two types of presser feet. These is a whole presser foot like Bernina uses and a snap on plate presser foot.

The 5 main presser feet for everyday tasks are: 

1. Zigzag foot - This foot is used for straight and zigzag stitching at the same time. 

2. Denim/Jean foot - This foot is used for thicker fabric. This foot has a hole and groove which makes the needle move around less therefore it's able to penetrate thicker fabric. 

3. Button sewing on foot.

4. Button hole foot.

5. Zip foot - This foot is very thin and has two grooves, one on each side, which allows you to get in close to a zip. 


Additional Feet: 


  • Invisible zipper foot.
  • Leather roller foot.
  • Patch/ quilting foot. 
  • Walking Foot.
