Zig-Zag foot

In my previous post, I had explained about sewing machine foots. Here is my attempt to introduce you to one such foot. Here comes the first one called as All purpose foot.


             
                                    All purpose Foot or Zig -Zag foot or Basic foot
                                                  
Zig-Zag foot - All purpose foot- Basic foot

Here comes the first foot called as All-Purpose foot or zig-zag foot. I prefer to call it as a zig-zag foot. It's called as  All Purpose foot because, you can stitch with this  foot from straight stitch to zig-zag stitch.This foot is used to sew on bulky layers of fabric, to do bulky seams, and it is very useful on stitching textured fabrics like denim, fleece, velvet etc. For beginners do use 1/4 seam foot to do a straight stitch. General settings for All purpose foot depends on the thickness of the material which you are using and the length of the stitch one needed. But for general fabric like cotton I go with stitch length in between 2-3, Pattern selector as A for straight  stitch or C for Zig-Zag stitch in Allure, and Thread tension as 4.
