A Very Unusual Yet Useful Sewing Machine Foot

[@debraclark5066]

I just love your calm, low voice and distinct pronunciation in all your videos! Thank you Laura! for No - stress learning! Debbie

[@suestutzle2779]

Wow, that's new to me. I have never seen a foot like that before. I really enjoyed learning about it. Thanks for showing us Laura.

[@SunShine-000]

Thanks for the very interesting and fun story that brought to mind my own story. When I was a child I learned to sew on a “glove machine” that had a treadle that was converted to electric. I used to sneak into my parents’ bedroom and silently treadle sew doll clothes. As it became apparent I was a young sewest, I was allowed to use the motor and to make my own clothes and clothes for my baby sister. When I got to Jr high at school home ec class, I finally used a “normal” domestic Singer. I found it terribly finicky to use and slow, but I learned. By high school, my parents bought a Kenmore, on which I made my wedding dress.

According to the colourful world of sewing Pfaff does not have the roller foot. Only Baby Lock offers it.

I can't sew very well at all but I love the way you show/teach new gadgets and styles of sewing.

[@gabbyg561]

This presser foot is cool. Thanks Laura for showing it to us. I looked for it everywhere. Amazon does has some but not quite the same as the one you demonstrated. I did finally find one at Sewing Parts Online, in case anyone would like to find it. Now, I did not find my Brother sewing machine model for this foot, but looking at other Brother sewing machines that look the same as mine, in terms of the snap on foot part that can be taken off, so that a screw on foot can be used, I didn't see any difference between my sewing machine and the other Brother Sewing and Quilting sewing machines. I am going to try it out after I receive my order, and see how it works.

[@Sewcrafty1013]

Well, that's a new one on me! I have never seen a foot like that. I thought I'd seen every kind of sewing machine foot there was. Thanks for educating me!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Laura, that foot is really really awesome. I going to see what one goes with my machine. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@m.k.1543]

I am so excited!! Thank you so much for introducing me to this foot. I have been searching for a stitch regulator for any of my machines because I just cant get the hang of free motion quilting on my home machines. With this leaving the feed dogs up, er go regulating the stitch, i now feel like I can actually do some machine free motion quilting!!! Now i just have to find one for my machines lol.

[@SewVeryEasy]

I'm so glad!

[@joannclapacs6881]

I've had this foot for 5 years, thanks for the tutorial, now I know exactly how to use it.

Is your machine a high or low shank? I dont think my old Kenmore is able to handle it. It just looks so cool!

I have seen that foot in the accessories book, but didn't understand how it worked. Now I know! It looks useful. I may have to put it on my wish list. Thanks!

[@ornelladay2041]

Hi Laura, as soon as you mentioned leather I'm sure I've seen something like this in action in the shoe trade. Many moons ago, when health & safety was in its infancy, I used to go into the shoe factory my parents worked in to wait to go home after school. I'm sure they used something like this.

[@jackyf3505]

Really good to learn about this one - I particularly appreciate you showing an old-style foot in the foot close-ups -- just like the one my 1130s use. That's especially helpful as I think many of us owners of older machines may often think that feet designs we're not familiar with are probably only going to be in new style feet. Thank you.

[@altabarnard1534]

I have this particular Bernina foot and it has a universal shank - fits both my vintage Bernina and my computerised 440QE. I did not think to use it for zippers, but I knew about the quilting and thick piping and cording. I have also used it to sew sequined and beaded trim to a skirt waistband, where no other presser foot would have been able to do the job. It also works very well for applique. The foot was expensive, but worth it.

[@rainbowpassage9686]

I like that foot already! Thanks Laura! hope it’s not too expensive.

[@curtriceennis2924]

I've never heard of, or even seen Such a foot. Am gonna hafta try and find one for my machine as I can see it being very useful for making so many different projects. TYSM for sharing this video with us. Love your channel. 👍😻😍

[@MoMaryR]

I bought that foot many years ago for my Bernina 830 Record. It's an amazing foot, but takes a bit of getting used to as it looks like the needle could hit the roller! It's amazing

Very interesting gadget, Laura. As always, thanks for sharing!

[@FleurdeLinda.Stitches]

Laura, thank you for showing that foot. I got one with my Janome HD9 and was scared to use it. I had already done the dreaded needle through the finger thing a few years ago. With the versatility you’ve shown, I now have the confidence to play with it. And use my stiletto near it!

[@melennyfreeman8439]

I want one too! Thank you Laura.

[@l.renault3044]

[@nannyval]

Thank you Laura, I definitely want one of those. So much more control to be had. I've never seen it before.

[@eileenhaskins2710]

It looks very useful. I would have liked it when I sewed the tent for our dearly departed tent trailer, 20 years ago. I have an M7 Janome now, and I checked. They sell one for it so if something comes up I'll be able to get one.

[@carolg.6838]

Thank you. Like others, this is news to me. For quilting would it have more control and less hand stress than a free motion foot? I haven't done more than try free motion so I am not good at it. Can you use it with zigzag? I'm thinking machine applique?

[@travissmith7471]

Thanks for sharing this demonstration... Very helpful and inspiring...

[@googbarbara]

How I would love this foot for my sewing machines [Kenmore, Janome] but, after an extensive search online, I'm afraid this is proprietary to Bernina. Dear Laura, you are a wealth of information, and I truly enjoy watching your videos!

[@adriennegallagher6282]

Hi Barbara, this foot has been around for many years with all types of sewing machines. Janome, Babylock, Pfaff and more have this foot. It might be worth a call to your local sewing machine store.

[@cindyhaas8044]

For Janome high shank machines it’s HD roller foot part #202418007. I got mine from a local dealer for less than half the price of Amazon.

My dad had a shoe shop when I was growing up. Our "patch machine" had a foot like this. It was great for getting into tight places that needed mending.

[@youmetube246]

Yes, I just commented about those. Common in a shoe factory or anywhere that sews leather.

[@ornelladay2041]

🤣🤣 I hadn't seen your comment when I added mine. So now I need to watch "Kinky Boots" again which was based in my home County and see if I can't spot this foot.

[@hollywaddell6727]

How fun that looks. My word for 2021 is "mend" (boring, I know, but too big a stack to ignore any longer) so my mind went to mending. This foot might be very handy getting into those tight spaces encountered when patching jeans. Hmmmm ... Bernina has a sale (20% off) during March; I wonder if it applies to accessories or just on the sewing machines?

Thank you for showing how to use the leather rolling foot. When I first used this foot I wasnt sure if the feed dogs should be up or down so by trial and error did I figure it out (I think this foot is a standard attatchment for most domestic sewing machines).

[@bella-bee]

I’ve seen those on old Singer industrial machines, for sewing leather. Hadn’t thought you could use it for fabric, but why not? So I looked on Amazon and there they are, made in China, with several sizes available. Watch out for low shank or height shank, btw. I’ve seen ones about 1” diameter stitching shoes, and I expect the ones for glove fingertips would be the small ones. Question: what size would you recommend for general use, to include FM quilting? Thank you
