most new machines for home use are low shank machines, what make and model is yours? It would be easier for us to tell you if it would work. It makes Quilting a breeze as well as working with slippery fabrics.

A "low shank" means the bottom of the presser foot to the screw measures about 3/4".. "snap on" means literally the presser foot simply snaps onto the machine. I suggest you look at your machine and measure the distance between the bottom of the presser foot to the screw above and then check to see how you remove your presser foot. If the presser foot removes very easily with just a quick press of a lever, this zipper foot is definitely for you.

Hi Matt, I am not that far on my quilt to know for sure. But I am planning on using it with my machine. It looks like the person in the picture shown using in it is using a regular sewing machine. So when I get this far with my quilt I will be winging it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I'm fairly sure the Singer 9420 is a slant shank so this is definitely not the right foot for your machine. If the 9420 is not a slant shank, then there may be something wrong with the foot itself. I have an upright shank and the foot does sit very slightly upward using this rolled hem foot, but definitely not at any severe angle as to cause an issue feeding fabric through.

Any low shank darning (free motion quilting) foot should work with the machine. I have used the small, plastic one sold under the Distinctive name and it fits wells. To clarify a previous answer, the machine does not ship with a darning foot.

It can be used were you quilt at the seams. The foot is made for top stitching near a seam. The blade can ride in the joining area of two seams. I use it as a marker for seams too. You can move your needle position and change the width of the seam. You cannot use anything but a straight stitch with it.

We use the "even feed/walking foot" on a singer and a brother sewing machine and it works great. According to us, it really is a universal foot.

I love my 1/4" foot too, however this is a versatile tool because it easy marks many other widths that are hard to keep track of on the throat plate. Sure you can do without it by measuring and marking your machine, but this is so much easier. Why fight it?

It doesn't matter which Brother machine you have. I fits on the back of the part that hooks onto your accessory feet or the back of your walking foot. I think this part is standard on Brother machines. This quilting guide is great for making wide straight lines.

I have an older model Bernina and this adaptor worked for me to attach the low shank Big Foot. It works great for machine quilting.

Standard foot, walking foot, hemming foot, zipper foot, and two sizes of free motion quilting feet! I love this machine! :-)

Nope. The Walking Foot comes with it's own foot. At times it's an inconvenience but that's the way it is. The idea with the Walking Foot is to keep the fabrics moving together at the same time. I imagine, since I didn't design the Walking Foot, that that is what is needed for the process to work.

The first thing you need to consider is the sewing machine. Does your machine accept high shank or low shank presser feet. Most newer machines use low shank presser feet. The item pictured is not a presser foot. It is a snap-on presser foot low shank adapter. Without a snap on presser foot to go with the snap on shank adapter you have nothing. A high or low shank presser foot is one piece and complete and only need to be attached to the machine and secured with the screw to function. The snap on presser feet were designed for speed, convenience and utility for changing presser feet for different sewing conditions. You only need to secure the snapon adapter to the sewing machine once. Then a wide variety of sewing snap on feet can be used with easy snap on / snap off utility. Don't know if there is a high shank snapon adapter. Beware that none of this works if you have a slant shank vs straight vertical sewing machine. Also, don't know if all manufacturer snap on presser feet fit all manufacturer snap on shank adapters. My limited experience is that most snap on shank adapters and snap on presser feet are compatible with each other. Good luck.

I googled and came across this informative website. Very helpful! http://craftygreenrabbit.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/sew-crazy-an-almost-comprehensive-concise-guide-to-sewing-feet/

I just started a quilt. I bought one of the free-motion darning feet and dropped the feed dogs. It takes a little practice, but looks good so far.

It tells you which foot to use when you select a stitch. I believe it's also in a chart on the manual, but I'm not at home right now so I can't double check.

I can't really answer that because I've never used an open toe. I can only tell you that I love this free motion foot. The opening is large, compared to some of the others I've used; and it is very sturdy. I didn't feel that I couldn't see the area I was quilting.
