Distinctive Straight Stitch Sewing Machine Presser Foot - Fits Any Snap-On Low Shank Machines Including Janome, Singer*, Brother, Babylock, Kenmore, Simplicity, White, Juki, Euro-Pro, Elna, and More!

A few weeks ago I purchased a set of feet (edge binding and stitch in the ditch) off Amazon for about $6. That other foot looks absolutely identical to this one. No visible distinction. But... it already broke 3 needles before I realized that the other foot was just ever-so-slightly too loose where it attached to the shank,so the foot presses against the needle as it comes down. Until the needle just doesn't clear the foot, and snap!When I opened this new 'Distinctive' foot and compared the two, initially I was irked at how identical they look. But when I put the foot on my machine, its perfect. There is zero wiggle. Not on the attachment point and not on the guide itself. It snaps on easily, it is calibrated perfectly, and the Distinctive foot is 100% worth the extra couple bucks. Don't fall for the 'but I can get 2 or even 3 feet for half of what this one costs' logic. You will likely regret it. I haven't sent the other foot back (tho I should) because the other foot in that set works well enough and I don't need it often. Plus, the hassle isn't worth the amount I paid. But I am glad I decided to pursue the more expensive name brand option. This foot will last me a lifetime and it certainly isn't that expensive. I will not hesitate to purchase from the Distinctive brand again.Finally, I am making bias tape (sew tedious 😆) and decided to try out the new foot. Turns out that with the needle in the left hand position the guide is perfect for stitching the tape together. This is the cleanest bias I have ever made. The foot stays aligned perfectly, slides this cotton lawn over the dogs perfectly, and the needle clears sufficiently. Its perfect. Great product!

I bought this for my wife for her new sewing machine. It works great, is well made, and seems very durable.It helps her keep her hems straight and makes her sewing much easier. (BTW, did you know that it is "presser foot" and not "pressure foot"?)Excellent price and quick delivery

This fit my featherweight very well. I bought it so I could take my machine to classes. The original case smell is disgusting, so I don't use it.

This walking foot is incredible! I don’t know how I ever got along without it. It was really easy to install and seems to be very durable.

Since I own and have used both products, I'll review both the Brother SA109 Binding Foot and the Distinctive Tape Binding Foot at the same time. This will essentially be a comparison of the two.Both products are about the same price, at the present time there is about a $2 difference, giving a slight edge to Distinctive. Both can be used on most low-shank sewing machines that accept this type of snap-on foot. I've never cut my own binding but have always used bias tape so I cannot state for a fact how either would work for hand-cut binding strips.The construction between the two brands is quite different. The Brother is made completely of metal while the Distinctive is a combination of metal and plastic. Therein lies the biggest difference between the two. The Brother has no adjustment so is limited to a maximum finished size of 1/4" (7mm) while the Distinctive can be adjusted from about 3/8" to 3/4" (5 to 20mm) finished size. Advantage: DistinctiveThe construction design also has an effect on ease of use. The Distinctive Foot has 2 grooves in the plastic. You place your folded bias tape edges into the groves, adjust for width, snap the foot onto the machine and slide the fabric between the two edges of the binding tape. The Brother design is more like a narrowing funnel. Push the bias tape through the opening until it appears on the other side, snap the foot on the machine, and slide in the fabric. You can, of course, perform the above with either foot on the machine, but I've often found it easier to attach the foot after I've put the binding tape in. With the design difference I've found the Brother foot easier to use. Keeping the bias tape and the fabric correctly aligned was easier and I was able to sew a little faster. If I didn't keep the bias tape and the fabric aligned exactly right when using the Distinctive foot, I had the bias tape come out of the groove. If I was lucky I caught it right away, if not, I would have to remove the stitches and re-do a small section. I think it may be especially problematic if you cut your own binding strips and they aren't pefectly straight. Advantage: Brother.In conclusion, I'm a guy who has taken up quilting as a retirement hobby. I have arthritis and my hands shake a bit so I look for anything that will make things easier for me. I happy I own both the Brother SA109 and the Distinctive Tape Binding Presser Foot, they both work well in different ways. The Brother is easier to use while the Distinctive is more versatile. Neither is perfect, but for me, they are a much better solution than applying bias tape by hand or trying to perfectly fold, iron then sew binding strips into place with a regular presser foot. For that, they each get 4 stars.

This edge joining (stitch in the ditch) presser foot fits my Singer 44S HD, low shank sewing machine. It feels well-made. Directions for use are printed on the product card. It was easy to slide/unhook the plastic packing off the card . I am new to learning the technique. I found it stayed in the seam (aka the ditch) much better than another presser foot brand I have. I would not hesitate to purchasing other presser feet from this company.

This machine tote is great. I recently bought a small featherweight machine and this bag is perfect. It's made well,good quality material and I think it will be very reliable. I'm giving some thought to ordering a second tote. Thank you for selling a well made product worth the money spent with great storage for additional items.
