How to Buy a Sewing Machine Feeder Foot

A feeder foot can be purchased in a variety of ways.

A feeder foot, also known as a walking foot or even-feed foot, is a special presser foot that attaches to your sewing machine to help fabric move evenly through your sewing machine. You can buy this part from a variety of retailers.

Manufacturer

You can purchase a feeder foot designed for your sewing machine directly from the manufacturer. Nearly every manufacturer has an online store that you can order from or a customer service department you can contact by phone. Consult your owner's manual to learn how to contact your manufacturer and see what kind of feeder foot your sewing machine calls for.

Online Retailers

You can purchase a feeder foot easily online. Consult your owner's manual to determine the feeder foot model required by your machine and search online for that part. Many sewing supply websites specialize in these kind of feet, and the prices may be less than those listed on manufacturers' websites.

Sewing Store

Most sewing stores have generic feeder feet available in the notions aisle. Before you purchase one of these items, however, consult your owner's manual to ensure that the foot will fit your sewing machine model. Prior to your purchase, confirm that you can return the foot if it doesn't work with your machine.
