The edge foot is a very useful attachment. This video shows just a few of the ways in which it can be used.

You just made sense of an otherwise incomprehensible apparatus in my vintage accessories box! THANK YOU.

[@anastasiatumanova]

Lizzie, keep making these. You explain everything so clearly, thank you.

Wow! I had no idea. What a wonderful foot that is. I love your videos. I have my Mom's old 66 treadle, a Featherweight, a 15-91 and a 99K I hope some day to get my hands on a 99K hand crank. There's a soft spot in my heart for these faithful old girls. They'll run forever with very just a little love.

This video is from 2012, it’s 2021 and I really appreciate the work you put into this classes. Thank you very much.

[@fie3871]

Really informative session, thank you. You've opened up a whole lot of possibilities with my just purchased Singer 201K.

[@kerry5586]

I am sure youtube can read my mind: I was just wondering today about the best way of attaching two pieces of material and then this excellent video pops up in the side bar. Thanks for the great explanation.

[@sewvintagerooster1866]

I bought several feet in a package deal online, (including this one!) for a very good price, after watching you show how to use these very useful feet! Thank you for your very informative videos.

[@knoxscoop]

this is the best vintage foot tutorial I've come across. It's very clear and I'm delighted to know how to use this attachment with my Singer 221 featherweight.

[@tinat7004]

Thank you for your video. I bought a vintage machine that I’m in love with but I’m lost as to what to do with the large amount of unusual looking accessories that came with it. This was very helpful and appreciated.

[@foufymaus]

Thank You! I have a 1950's Kenmore with a foot that looks like this. I had no idea what it did until i watched this video! You're the best! Thanks.

[@franbusi5045]

So very helpful. I’ve had several vintage Singer attachments, and now won’t be intimidated.

[@sunflowersnbluebirds7362]

This was great! I always wondered if I'd ever use any of the feet for my machines. I can't wait to watch the rest of your tutorials! Thank you so much!!!

[@ElvieMe]

Thank you for the very clear video! It helps me in overcoming my initial fear of using this foot.

[@sheilajones4491]

Wow what a great teaching video just what i need to attach lace trim to a dress. Thank you xx

[@SueC56]

Very nice! I had no idea what that foot was for. Thanks for your nice video.

[@designertjp-utube]

Hi! Thank You for the amazing info on this *Edge* *Stitching* Foot! I had been doing this type of stitching by eyeball and a steady hand up to this point. Looks like I may have to keep doing it that way thru super *wavy* *curves* or attempting to *miter* a corner. I see your Sewing Foot and Vintage Machine are of the *Short* *Shank* variety. I'll be hunting for a *Tall* *Shank* version of this Edge Foot for an old Japanese Dressmaker Machine. Cheers!

[@karengray6641]

So helpful! I've had a box of attachments for years but never knew how to use them. This is ingenious! Thanks for explaining.

[@elfpimp1]

I received a Spencer rotary treadle for Christmas this year (early) and it came with ALL sorts of attachments. Going through all he vids I can find to learn how to use them. Thank you!

[@timingisperfect]

Lizzie, thank you so much for this video! I have got my Singer 201 all ready to go and have been mystified at the box of feet it came with. After learning to sew on a relatively terrible (and ill maintained) machine, I just figured that to get even a good straight line of stitches it took a lot of practice and patience. Well I could not have been more wrong, as I have learned with the unbeatable old Singer. You have me so excited at all the things I can do with the edge foot... I kept saying, "WHAT? I can do this too?" while watching this video. And it looks so easy!

[@kanamuthurajah9852]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Hope you could share more foot accessories for vintage machine

[@crums0nMyJ4cket]

I'm identifying the different foot attachments that came with my 201k3.. These machines really were made for a different era of fashion. And how lovely that ribbon detail would look on the lapel of a ladies coat! Marvelous video, thank you for uploading! :)

[@Muvandfarve]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@honeywell891]

Hello, guess I'm late in seeing this, but I would like to thank you very much. I recently purchased 32 different feet for my sewing machine and am now learning how to use each one. This was very helpful, for the simple reason, I knew nothing about this method of embellishments. Thanks again for being there for us.

[@Muvandfarve]

32! You are going to have fun!

[@markayw]

Wonderful job, I love your videos, and the still shots they are always so clear, very informative, and some of the best instructional videos I have ever watch. Thank you Lizzie, for sharing your love of vintage sewing machines and their uses. Much appreciated.

[@LLBryan]

I've taken notes and I'm inspired to try this. I want to edge some curtains! You are a good teacher and this is a good instruction video!

[@ACHAIR4U]

Thanks for helping us understand the puzzling things we are told go with our machines!

[@anthonythomas280]

super explanation at 76 i find things i have never contemplated worth the attention and interest,i wish i had seen this before . thanks tony

[@RICDirector]

Still an awesome and helpful video--thank you so much!! I had NO idea what that foot was for, or what it could do, and this had me slapping myself for stupidity--that kind of work was getting done by HAND, because I didn't know my old 99K could do it!

[@cindyandrews3185]

Super helpful! Thank you for doing this.

[@therayngr]

thank you for doing such a good job at explaining. You are so talented!

[@amd5617]

I was wondering at this foot. This was very informative. Thank you very much.

[@joeocnj]

Thank You! Excellent video! You've inspired me to start using my edge foot.

[@julianachandler2975]

Great description ❤

[@bixialee3826]

Wonderful instruction video! Thank you Lizzie. At 5:37 on adding ribbon, fabric is fed thru 1 (lower right), not 4 (upper left).

[@bemoreonline]

Very helpful , Thank you .

[@ruthstanley8329]

Brilliant, thank you so much.

[@sharonkarelse]

Lizzie: You do a wonderful job explaining this. Thank you

[@incilarobertson]

Thank you we learned a lot from you.

[@greywuuf]

All of your how to use, tutorials are great and have been very helpful. I would Really like to see one one the singer adjustable hemstitcher foot if at all possible. The manual I have with my 128 covers it but the pictures are to blurry to ne any help.Thanks and keep it up.

[@JesusisKing222]

Wow! This little gem of a foot came with my Singer 99k. I can’t wait to try it now that i know what I can do with it! Is there a way to switch the orientation of the bulk of the fabric to the left of the needle for attaching the lace to the edge of bulkier items, such as curtains?

[@jujusteed2011]

thank you so much for this lovely video! could you use this to attach ric rac? especially as an edge trim on the wrong side?

[@elcarova]

lovely!!!! thank you very much ! I love your videos,

[@jesshothersall]

Thank you Lizzie, what would we do without your knowhow! Wondering if you learned from experience and trial and error, or did someone teach you? Thanks again for the clear video, and the photos I could study while 'paused'

V GOOD, lizzie Good luck

[@marjohnsmusings3222]

[@evabuchholz9539]

I just come across this great video explaining this foot, BUT, I have a question can this foot be used to sew elastic on the fabric and if so how is this done... Thanks for your time and hope to get a reply or video showing...

[@christelgrimmer4478]

That is what I thought it is made for. A few months ago I bought a similar looking clip on foot to attach elastic, that looks very similar, but it came without instructions. Recently, I bought a Singer 201 k electric and a 99 k hand crank , with the attachments. They are all interesting looking feet. Also got a buttonhole, but am to chicken to use it.

[@ladyjane8531]

Wow!!!

[@elfpimp1]

So THAT'S what that attachment is for.. odd though, mine doesn't appear to be attached to any foot.

[@abbeyjenkins2577]

A lot of them have sort of an accessory attachment that actually attaches to the presser bar with the screw, then the accessory feet like this edging foot, or a hemming foot, etc., attach to that instead of directly to the presser bar...if that makes any sense. 😬

[@elfpimp1]

@@abbeyjenkins2577 it does. Thanks.. and I'm really loving my treadle..
