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.

FAQs
What is a presser foot for a sewing machine?

You can also switch out your existing presser foot for different processes or products.
