What is the difference between this foot and the 1/4inch quilting sewing machine presser foot with edge guide?

I use both presser feet, for different purposes. The quarter inch foot does exactly that, it stops the fabric from moving past the quarter inch mark on the right edge of the fabric, so you get perfect quarter inch seams. It's really handy when doing a narrow rolled hem or french seams or anything that requires a precise quarter inch sewing line. A good 1/4" foot should also have a hole in it so that you can position the needle to the left of center to get perfect 3/8" seams as well (why it's great for french seams and rolled hems.) I sew apparel, and don't quilt, but if I were a quilter, this foot obviously would be mandatory. The joining foot's guide is in the middle of the foot (as opposed to the right edge on the 1/4' foot) which allows you to stitch in the ditch, or stitch 1/16 or 1/8 inch away from the edge of the fabric or edge of a seam line, it works great for top stitching, such as around the edge of a collar or next to any seam line. It also allows you to sew bias binding to the edge of fabric in one step rather than two. The joining foot allows you to use a zig zag stitch to join fabrics at their edges, or sew lace trim onto fabric. The 1/4" foot only allows you to use a straight stitch. Goggle "joining presser foot tutorials", I found a site that had 16 different uses for the joining foot, it has a multitude of uses. I find both presser feet invaluable for apparel sewing, they allow me to sew much faster and accurately at the same time, especially when the stitching is going to show on the outside of a garment. I made a princess seamed coat recently that required all the seams and edges to be topstitched, which was a LOT of topstitching, that joining foot saved me a lot of time and all the topstitching came out perfectly. Neither feet came with my machine, so I had to buy them separately, and I'm glad I did, they both make the difference between sewing quickly with professional looking results and having to sew much slower to maintain accurate sewing lines.

I'm not familiar with a lot of different machines. I have a Janome 2212 which is a very basic model and it works well with it. I used to have my grandmother's singer and this walking foot worked well with it also. Seems to be pretty versatile. HTH

First of all, ensure that this is the attachment that you need to do the job that you want to do as reading over the comments, many are confused of its actual capabilities. Also be prepared to practise a bit with it but IMHO it does what it claims to do. Secondly, not positive if it will fit your machine but here are some guidelines which helped me when I decided to purchase it for my Kenmore machine: a) Your foot attachments should be the snap on type. b) You have the option of positioning your needle(s) in increments as it must go through the hole of the sewing machine foot plate plus that of the Ruffler Foot itself as both have to be aligned with one another or it will 'not' work. c) Your machine should have a high 'shank'. To determine if it does: remove the snap on ankle (it is designed to hold the snap on foot) by loosening the shank shaft thumb screw, then lower the presser foot in the down position and measure from the BED of the sewing machine to the center of the THUMB SCREW. If it measures 1" (or 1"+) your machine has a high shank. (If it measures l/2" (or less) then your machine has a low shank. You will be hard pressed to find specs on shank lengths in any sewing machine manual ... but this is the general method as to how it is determined by those who carry attachments.) Hope I have helped you. P.S: I purchased mine actually from a Janome dealership and as stated above, it works fine for my computerized Kenmore machine as described.

I am able to use this 1/4 in. foot on my basic Janome Sewing machine, Babylock Ellageo, Babylock Ellure Plus and Brother 4000D. The foot doesn't come with a shaft attached so it just clips on the one that is already on these machines. Hope this helps.

We use the "even feed/walking foot" on a singer and a brother sewing machine and it works great. According to us, it really is a universal foot.

If you have a low shank where your feet attach on your machine this foot should work just fine. I have 3 different machines..1 brother, 1 singer, and 1 willscox and gibbs and this foot works on all 3 of my machines. hope this helps.

One difference is the other model is for light to medium fabrics, but this one handles heavy ones as well, so it depends what you plan on sewing. For me it's worth the money to be able to sew pretty much anything.

Standard foot, walking foot, hemming foot, zipper foot, and two sizes of free motion quilting feet! I love this machine! :-)

Yes you can use a walking foot for quilting and all home sewing projects. The walking foot will need to be an industrial type for the 20U series machine.

Bought this machine for my wife. She loves the options it came with. In answer to your question, yes & yes. The part #s you will need 1) 1/4" Quilting foot-SA 185 2) Even Feed walking foot-SA 140 3) When buying the Even Feed WF you will also want the Guide for it-SA132. Some dealers sell a combo package including both. 4) This machine uses the SA 156 Bobbins. Hope this helps.

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

I have no idea. It is an OEM foot for standard Singer sewing machines, I don't know if sergers use the same foot. You could probably get a part number for the standard foot for your machine from Singer's web site, if you no longer have the paper manual.

The 1/4" should be on the outside edge of the presser foot. This will give you perfect "1/4" seam allowances.

Hi, This is Toni, To make your life easier and for comparison purposes, key in "brother SC9500" and click on that machine with the 'Prime' listed when you get to that machine scroll down to BEFORE the listing of the off-site 3rd party sellers, underneath the 'item number and weight and length and width of the machine. It will describe the machine and give the feet... Id did NOT see the 1/4 inch foot listed. Hope this helps,Toni
