A lot of these feet have been around forever. I have a vintage ruffler foot, a gathering foot, a bias binder, a hemmer foot, and a walking foot for my antique and vintage machines from 1907 - 1960. It really only matters that it fits the shank of your machine. I do a test run with the gathering and ruffler feet where I mark and measure 10” on a piece of fabric, run it through and then measure how much it gathered it down (like 25%, 50% etc.). I play with the stitch settings until it looks right, and then give myself several extra inches extra on the gathered fabric and just cut off the excess when I get to the end. I put a note in the foot’s storage bag with settings for % reduction so I can refer back to it next time.
My Viking machine has so many options for additional presser feet, I got confused. I knew I wanted additional feet to help me, and today you've helped me narrow it down. Appreciate your time 🙏🏾
I’ve got to tell you how much I enjoy your videos! Always so informative. I always learn something. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I just bought the gathering foot and can’t wait to try it out. I haven’t invested in a serger yet but I do have the brother side cutter foot and I love love the thing. If you are a beginner and want to improve your sewing skills or just don’t want to invest in a serger right now the brother side cutter is a great option. It saves me so much time finishing off my seams. There is a learning curve so if you get one practice a bit first. Also this thing is good for traveling. You don’t have to take a sewing machine and a serger. I got mine from Amazon for less than $50.00. I believe it was brother side cutter SA177 for anyone interested.
I use a ruffler attachment for gathering, and I've never seen anybody mention this, but you can gather the fabric up more afterwards. So, I set it so the piece ends up longer than it needs to be, then gather it to the correct size by pulling the threads. It seems really obvious but it took a long time to realize you could do that 🤣 You get the benefit of the ruffler (the gathers are perfectly even and lay totally flat) without wasting any fabric having to trim it to the right size afterward. (Obviously you can't do this if you're making pleats or if you're attaching the ruffled piece to another piece of fabric at the same time) I assume you can do this with a gathering foot too but I've never used one
OMGOODNESS, an invisible zipper foot. My Home Ec teacher taught me how to sew in an invisible zipper. All of her dresses had an invisible zipper. She, was an awesome teacher. She saw my passion for sewing and took me under her wing, teaching me all her tricks & shortcuts. 🥰😍d her!!! I think she’d be so tickled with all these gadgets we have now. Thanks for your video.
I NEED the compensating presser feet! I always see feet that perform that function on RUclips videos that feature industrial straight stitch machines and wish I had one to help keep sewing lines straight. Thanks!
Thank you for the information on some of the other feet I considered purchasing. I already bought a few. Your instructions are very helpful. I appreciate all of the information you provided!
Thank you so much for the wonderful explanations of how to use these feet. I have most of them but haven’t used them. Now I will!

I have those with my treadle singer 1924
I bought some presser feet second hand and the pleater was one of them. Now I know how it works. Thank you.

You’ll love the gathering foot! When I first tried it, my thought was ‘where was this my whole life’😅

Can these foot be used on any type of machine
Wonderful! 🌺
These all seem so fun!
This is a great video. I’m wondering if the presser foots can be use in any fabric? Like knit or denim? 🤩
Most of these can be used with any fabric, though narrow hem and binding feet will have difficulties - or may not handle- very thick fabrics🤔
I've never seen some of these! Please, share the links to buying these presser feet.
I don’t have a link, but these presser feet should be available where Brother machines are sold!🤗
@@Julija_Gobere The company's Store in Switzerland or Germany don't seem to have the compensating and Side Cut presser feet.
DANKE it was great
Can you provide links to the feet?
Love all your videos very informative, but you never answer as to where i can find a sewing pattern for the blue shirt you seem to wear 😢
It’s a Burda Style dress, pattern can be found online as ‘Plumetis dress’🤗
@@Julija_Gobere 😁😁 thank you 😊
Do the feet work with all brother machines
Yes, they should (except for last one)🤗
Are the Brother presser feet interchangeable with other machines??? Great video.
You are so lovely ❤
❤❤❤
