Many sewers utilize the presser feet in all their sewing work and not in any way pay attention to specialty presser feet, with a notion that there's no need for them.<\/p>\n

Perhaps, they don't; however, there are 5 reasons to use specialty presser feet for your sewing projects.<\/p>\n

For Better Sewing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your skills will instantly be improved when using specialty presser feet.<\/p>\n

For fans of Bernina sewing machines<\/a>, like me, one example is the use of Edgestitch Foot #10\/10C\/10D<\/a>. The Foot #10 which has a center blade that functions as a guide for edge stitching, topstitching, connecting pieces of fabric using a flat stitch, plus a lot more of techniques to use for all kinds of your sewing needs – from quilting, making a garment and home decor sewing.<\/p>\n

More Creative in Sewing<\/h2>\n

At times, there are some techniques you are not capable of sewing if you don't have the aid of this specialty presser foot.<\/p>\n

A technique called Couching wherein cords, fibers, and yarns is stitched on the fabric to add texture and color. It will be difficult or even impossible to hold the fiber to its place while you are stitching them down. The specialty presser feet can hold different kinds of cords in various ways – single narrow cords, narrow cords side-by-side for a flat couching, rounded cords, and so on.<\/p>\n

To do this, you'll need a specialist couching foot.\u00a0 If you sew with Janome, this may be the foot for you:<\/p>\n

More Precise Sewing<\/h2>\n

Precision is beneficial in nearly all sewing circumstances and absolutely essential in many cases.<\/p>\n

In assembling a quilt block, the seam's allowance should be exactly 1\/4” seams steadily all through the quilt. Without the 1\/4″ foot, this is nearly impossible. The patchwork feet are designed to get by easily in guiding the fabric along with the edge of its foot, positions the 1\/4″ needle at the edge of the fabric that results to 1\/4” seams.<\/p>\n

Less Frustration in Sewing<\/h2>\n

There are times that instead of having fun in sewing, it becomes frustrating.<\/p>\n

Using the correct tools helps a lot to keep the process run smoothly. Nothing could be more frustrating other than being excited about creating a project like the Fabric and Leather Handbag<\/a> but caught up without the right tools. There's no pleasure if the leather would not be allowed to slide smoothly beneath a smoot teflon presser foot.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Faster Sewing<\/h2>\n

Anyone can be fast in sewing, simply stepping on its pedal and repress while a fabric races beneath the needle.<\/p>\n

Sewing fast without wavering accuracy is the key. You accomplished more in no time, which gives you plenty of opportunities to sew! An attachment like a Ruffler foot makes a fast work in creating tiny pleats that is evenly-spaced. Measuring, folding, pressing, and pinning them before starting to stitch is a slow and tedious process.<\/p>\n

If you're using Singer, this may be the foot for you:<\/p>\n
