Types of presser feet

There are many types of presser feet used in commercial settings:

All-purpose foot

Simple to use and effective for many fabrics, the all-purpose foot is an efficient solution to industrial sewing needs.

Satin foot 

Primarily built to accommodate decorative stitching, satin presser feet work well for appliqués and other dense fabrics.

Zipper foot 

As the name implies, zipper feet work around tricky zipper areas to tether one piece of fabric to another.

Elizabeth Machines Co. carries many presser feet and spare parts for commercial sewing purposes. You may contact us at any time to get more information.

How to use presser feet

Pressure feet are automatically included on both residential and commercial sewing machines. However, replacing or interchanging different feet requires additional work. The process depends on your sewing machine brand and the fabric work expected from the machine. Additionally, some machines only accommodate certain types of presser feet, meaning they need a careful attention to detail to install. 

Please reach out to the team at Elizabeth Machines Co. for more information.

FAQs

What is a presser foot for a sewing machine?

A sewing machine pressure foot is a unique type of attachment designed to smooth fabric during the sewing process. Spring-hinged to provide additional flexibility, you can use presser feet to hold down material on either side of the needle without creating wrinkles or misalignments.

How does a presser foot work?

Presser feet work by flattening out fabric on either side of your stitch. By working alongside feed dogs underneath the attachment, you can easily stitch together unique types of materials, including stretchy or sticky fabrics. You can also switch out your existing presser foot for different processes or products.

What are the different types of presser feet and their uses?

There are many types of presser feet for commercial use, including all-purpose feet, satin feet, zipper feet and more. Additional presser feet — such as centre guide feet, Teflon feet and feeding feet — are available through the team at Elizabeth Machines Co.
