The Roller Presser Foot is a specialized sewing machine foot with textured rollers, that is a longer roller in front and a set of small rollers in the back. The machine feed dogs move the fabric along under the foot and the textured rollers work from the top side of the fabric helping to move the fabric smoothly during sewing. The primary purpose of the roller foot is to smoothly feed the difficult-to-sew materials such as textured, slippery, thick, sticky, and heavy knit fabrics that resist feeding with a standard presser foot. Some roller foot comes with its own shank; therefore, it will be necessary to remove the machine's presser foot holder and then attach the roller foot using a screwdriver. After attaching the roller foot be sure to check that the needle is correctly lined up with the opening of the foot. The roller foot is ideal for sewing projects involving leather, vinyl, thick denim, heavy wool, upholstery fabrics, velvet, thick knit fabrics and also light weight chiffon fabrics.
