Hi that's great.. 👍 does it work very well? Please give me suggestions. I too need one. Does it suites all kind of fabric ?

[@karengarner2292]

If I needed to go around corner, similar to the fabric you demoed on, how is that done?

Which modal sewing machine??

[@IsnairahLidangan]

Hello, is that ok for JANOMI machine

[@pollynelson4138]

Help, I bought this same foot that you are demonstrating but it is not cutting. Is there something I should do to make it start cutting?

[@get2craft]

Hi, thank you for the video. My Brother machine came with a similar side cutter foot, but it keeps breaking needles! Please help! Also, can i use it with my Singer or Janome machines? or is it only for Brother?

I want to buy, how

[@suepittman6864]

Am considering purchasing This type attachment, am not a beginner seamstress but I’m not ready for Project Runway by any means! I’m curious if you’re to use a 5/8” seam allowance do most of these attachments have that as the standard? Meaning the trimmed off fabric would be maybe around 3/8”. Thanks

Does it work even on embordary machine?

[@MelSmith518]

what brand/model of sewing machine are you using in the video? Could this type of stitch and gadget be used to sew cotton jersey knit seams? I love making clothing from jersey knit but my sewing machine (EuroPro) has trouble with the overlock stitch and always dragging the fabric into the feed dog. There is no way to adjust the pressure of the presser foot for lighter fabrics on my machine.

I just bought it to work with jersey knits, I haven't used it yet but all the things I read about it say it is great. I got it for tshirts. Good luck!

put painters tape on the presser foot side that touches the fabric. the needle will go through the tape. the fabric will glide easily - works like a teflon foot but diy

[@shreebharathipandilakshman4275]

Whats the name of the machine used and what's the presser foot name

[@IsnairahLidangan]

I want to buy, how much?

Hi can it cut a cotton 450gsm fabric

[@dawnallen6551]

I can get this cutter on my singer Talent so what would the Tenison be the width and also best pattern as every time I try running this sewing cutter my needle s keeps breaking anybody help thank you

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Just saw your comment after watching this video. While I haven't used this foot (didn't know it was available until now), here's a suggestion for needle tension-- I tend to loosen it a bit for zig zag especially for wider stitches. (Do a few test runs on scrap). Example: if I was sewing at a tension of 4, I would lower it to 3.5 or 3 to see how it looked. Now you have to be very careful that the needle doesn't hit your foot, so I test the stitch width by carefully using the handwheel at first to make sure the needle clears it on both sides (with whatever stitch you choose). Also you may want to check that this foot is secured well with the screw - if it loosens off it may move enough to cause collision with your needle too. Hope this may help

[@dawnallen6551]

Wow thank you so much

[@noramontilla873]

Yo quiero saber que hace con la pieza larga como un tenedor, que está arriba

[@Louise-xr5ok]

My fabric won't go under the first part where the cutter is

[@laurenkramer8481]

The stitch width is 5… what about the length?

[@DizzyMadeQuilts]

This was a terrible purchase.
