I'm trying to sew PUL and it sticks to the machine and presser foot. Would this slider be of benefit when sewing sticky fabrics as PUL and vinyl?

From what I understand of your question, no. A Teflon foot would accomplish this. Or is PUL came packed with tissue paper, keep the tissue paper under it except when it approaches the needle. The supreme slider reduces the friction between the fabric and and machine surface, letting you more easily free motion quilt.

When I was researching before purchase, I remember one commenter mentioning that this particular form was better for display, rather than sewing, pinning, etc. That may be the case for the professional seamstress. I've pinned and done light repair on some vintage items and have no complaints. It is attractive and easy to work with. Good luck!

You will need to adjust the tension & depth for different fabric weights. this machine seems very sensitive but once you get tension and thread right it does very well.

No. The only thing the machine actually does is have the set of barbed needles go up and down felting together whatever you have set under them. There is no thread and the space where the bobbin case would be on a sewing machine simply catches the lint from the felting process. It does create a substantial amount of lint while you are working. Learning to NOT move the fabric until the needles start and to stop moving before the needle stop is very important in not breaking needles. I have never broken a needle but I am very careful. Probably watching a YouTube demo would help. Very nice machine.

I have had very good success, especially in machine applique in quilting. Not sure about apparel unless you are applique work. Don't use it for seams. It's for decorative purposes.

What pfaff do you have? It should work fine. Thanks Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

I'm not sure. Check your manual to see if this model of bobbin will work. What I do know is that you should use the same type of bobbin every time. Your machine's bobbin tension will stay the same if you use the same type of bobbins. I bought these and LOVE them! It is 100% worth the money to buy a large amount of prewound bobbins! I was buying 10 at a time and it got expensive. Buying them in bulk cut the cost tremendously! Hope this helps! Happy sewing!

I used several of the stretch stitches on my Brother SE400 with this foot. One problem I did have was the feed dogs on this machine aren't as strong as my old one and don't pull the fabric through as nicely. My fabric slipped a lot.

I have used the Slider on a machine which also would not allow for the feed dogs to drop, and it worked fine. Set your stitch length to Zero, and the feed dogs will go up and down, but not back and forth. Also, older machines often have a plate that clips onto the needle plate to cover the feed dogs. I have one that is plastic for my Babylock Companion that just snaps into place over the needle plate. I also have a metal one that screws in for my vintage Singers. With the Supreme Slider in place, this isn't necessary however. The feed dogs will merely move against the bottom. This causes some discoloration, but no damage.

My wife is the one that uses this. She uses this for fusing two fabrics together for quilting. She says that she does not have any problems with gumming up her needles or with sticky residue when using this product. She explains that there are particular stabilizers for embroidery. She says that you should speak with a sewing machine shop/embroidery specialty shop as to the proper stabilizer for embroidery. She is assuming that you are using the stabilizer with machine embroidery.

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.

Sorry, I have used mine to make my quilting surface slick. It has worked well for that.Thanks Vici

I have my sewing machine and serger sitting on it and sew with no problems. It works great for me. Because it is slim it fits well in my room but it is not the best if you want it to cut large items on. For my machine use and cutting small items it is perfect.

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 haven't used this presser foot much as I find it difficult to use.. However, in my playing around with it I've used double fold tape and it seemed to work better than the single fold.

I don't think they will. Serger presser feet are usually longer than standard sewing machine presser feet.

You can stop sewing with the needle in the down position or move the wheel to where the needle is in the down position. This can be useful sometimes when doing corners or fine detail. The machine does not make nearly as much noise as my 1970s Singer and seems to have more power. I use it to patch and repair our favorite old jeans and it handles the heavy material well.
