Order Any Sewing Machine Presser Foot At SewSpares.Com

The presser foot on the machine is the part that contacts the upper side of the fabric. The presser foot lever is used to raise and lower the presser foot by pressing on the fabric. It works together with the retractable teeth, which are like small rows of teeth under the needle that go through the fabric backwards (In some jobs, it will be necessary to deactivate them for a good result, such as for quilting). Sewing machines come with a universal presser foot, but there is a wide variety for other sewing functions.



Once the machine is threaded, the fabric is placed underneath for sewing and the fabric is lowered to apply tension to the thread.

Each job has a product that allows the job to be done quickly and with the best result. Check out our wide range of presser feet for sewing machines of all brands, Singer, Alfa, etc.



BASIC TYPES OF PRESSER FEET


Normally, when a sewing machine is bought, it usually brings two or three extras, which is the one that is used for almost all types of sewing, as well as the basic universal presser foot.



For buttonholes

One of the best known is the one used to make buttonholes. It can be made of plastic or metal, depending on the model you have. Even on some occasions, it can be more complex for automatic ones (you have to set the button size). The manuals are very easy to use, as you learn how to make the buttonhole in four easy steps.

Zipper foot

This device is open on both sides, as if it had a central pin. Some machines only have one which is like a single leg that only opens to one side. Our advice is that you use the one that opens in both directions, as you have the possibility to choose where to place it so that it is more comfortable for you to sew.

If it is placed on the right side, it must be entered with the fabric and the zipper from that same side, and vice versa if we would use the left area.

To sew a zipper, the right side of the zipper is placed against the right side of the fabric, aligning them with the fabric. If at the beginning we are bothered by the course of the zipper, we must lower it and put the pins we put it in a position that is easy for us to remove. Subsequently, we place the palette that has the presser foot flush with the edge of our zipper and we begin to finish. When we get close to the cursor, we leave the needle stuck, we lift the presser foot, and we raise it upwards so that it does not bother us until we finish.

When choosing which presser foot to buy, you should know that there are manufacturers that are compatible. This makes the presser foot of some brands work for others, for example: a Singer foot for invisible zips may be compatible with some alpha model. Do not hesitate to contact us if you doubt which brand to choose for presser feet.

For buttons

It is another of the most used. It usually has a rubber part, whose function is to hold the button when we are on it so that it does not slip. It is very easy to place and use.

We must place the first two holes of the button between the two legs that this device has, previously placing it in the place of the fabric that you want to make. Next, the sewing machine is configured according to zigzag with the maximum width and length 0 and it is checked that it is correctly positioned by lowering the needle a couple of times, making sure that it does not collide with the button. We carry out this movement as many times as we want, and we do the same for the other two holes.



Double drag

Almost all machines have the option of being able to buy this type of accessory, apart from the ones that come by default. This in particular is highly recommended because it allows sewing with different qualities of fabrics to be worked very well without forming folds (cotton, silk, hair fabrics, velvet, laminated fabric… etc.). In addition, it has the ability to quilt when making patchwork, making the typical quilting.



The size is quite large and has a series of paddles that drag the upper presser foot and the lower teeth for a perfect finish.



For festoon or decorative

It is used to make decorative stitches or the satin stitch, allowing us to see how our machine is making the drawing. It will allow us to make a multitude of designs, depending on the stitches you have and the width and length regulation.



Blind stitch

It is used to make a blind stitch, widely used to take hems of dress clothes or seams of that style.

To start sewing we have to select the blind stitch on our machine and you can adjust it according to your needs. This stitch consists of smaller ones that are combined with others in zigzag on the edge of the fabric, making it not visible on the outside of it.
