Presser feet can make all the difference when it comes to sewing garments and other fabric creations. Every Singer sewing machine comes equipped with a variety of presser feet that allow you to create a range of different sewing styles. Whether you’re hemming a dress or topstitching a denim jacket, you’ll need to know how to attach a presser foot to a Singer sewing machine. <\/p>\n

It is a relatively easy process, but there are some steps along the way that require some extra attention. Before you start, make sure you have the right Singer presser foot for the task you are looking to do. Once you have the right presser foot, remove the existing foot from the machine. The presser foot holder is the metal swoop of metal that hovers above the needle. Pull up on it, and the old presser foot will release from the holder. <\/p>\n

Your new presser foot should have a small bar on the back of it. This connects to the presser foot holder and lifts the presser foot off the fabric when you are not stitching. If you are working on a solid surface or don’t need the extra space this bar provides, you can lower or remove it. Depending on your model, you may have a lever to help you do this. To attach the new presser foot, line the new foot up with the pin and notch on the presser foot holder. You need to make sure these match before you lock it in place. Then, press down firmly on the presser foot until it clicks into place. <\/p>\n

Once the new presser foot is attached to the machine, you will reset each of the presser feet lifters for you to use. Raise the presser foot lifter on your sewing machine and lower it again. This will ensure that the presser foot holder does its job properly and it raises the foot from the fabric when the lever is pulled back. If you don’t do this, then the presser foot is likely to stick to the fabric when you pull the lever back. <\/p>\n
