This presser foot is used for stretch fabrics (such as knits), hard-to-feed materials (such as vinyl-coated fabric), and unevenly fed material (such as quilting or fabric with a nap).

This presser foot is equipped with an upper feed dog that works together with the feed dog of the sewing machine to feed the material in order to prevent bunched stitching and uneven feeding.

When used together with the quilt guide, this presser foot is also useful for quilting so that seams are equally spaced.
