Roller Presser Foot

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.

A Fringe is a decorative edge of hanging threads left loose. a Fringe presser foot also called as looper foot is a sewing machine attachment used to create a loopy surface texture which can be used for various decorative applications. The key feature of the fringe foot is the raised central metal bar for creating loops. The original purpose for this foot was to create tailor's tacks however it can be used to create decorative fringes, chenille texture, 3D textured stitches or create custom trims.

To Use It: Attach the fringe foot instead of normal presser foot, set the machine to a zig-zag stitch so that the needle goes back and forth over the central bar creating looser stitches and more thread in each stitch. This extra thread forms loops which can be manipulated to create a fringe (by cutting loops with scissors after stitching) or textured look on the fabric.
