{A}Button hole foot: Application: As the name describes, this presser foot is used for making button holes. Each machine offers different styles of button holes stitches from bound to keyhole etc. You can use this foot for darning and bar tacks. The button hole sensor size varies. Mine has a maximum button size of 3 cm (1 inc).
{B}Cut & sew foot: Application: This presser foot is a little bit more expensive them most in the market but for those who like a neat finish and don’t have an overlocker, this presser foot can be a great solution. This will neat the edge and cut the excess of fabric.
{C}Walking foot: Application: This presser foot is used to maintain both layers of fabric matching, specially helpful when sewing thick, multiple layers or difficult materials that tends to stick or glide. Loved by quilters.
{D}Open toe quilting foot: Application: This is used mainly for free-motion quilting and machine embroidery as the large opening provide wide visibility and freedom of movement. Feed dog must be lowered.

{F}Hemming stitching foot. Application: Used for decorative hemming, heirloom stitching and sewing lace. It can also be know as Embroidery foot: The clear plastic front with a groove underneath will create a shallow tunnel that permits dense stitching to pass easily underneath the foot.

{I}Edge-stitching foot: Application: This foot has a central blade that allows you to position it at the edge of your fabric or seam. By moving the default needle position from the centre to the position you wish to sew, the blade will guide your stitch perfectly. Making a accurate guide for topstitching or edge stitching facings in place. One of my favourites!
