This set is compatible with most low-shank sewing machines, including models from Singer, Brother, Janome, Husqvarna, Viking, and Kenmore.
2. Product Overview
The Madam Sew 32 Piece Presser Foot Set provides a comprehensive collection of presser feet to enhance your sewing projects. The set includes:
- 32 distinct presser feet for various sewing applications.
- A bonus low shank snap-on adapter for broader machine compatibility.
- A heavy-duty plastic storage case with numbered, form-fitting recesses for organization and protection.
- A full-color printed manual identifying each presser foot and its uses.

3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Attaching Presser Feet
Most Madam Sew presser feet are designed for snap-on installation. To attach a foot:
- Raise the presser foot lever on your sewing machine.
- Position the desired presser foot under the presser foot holder, aligning the pin on the foot with the groove on the holder.
- Lower the presser foot lever until the foot snaps securely into place.
- Before sewing, manually lower the needle to ensure it clears the foot's opening.
3.2 Using the Low Shank Adapter
A low shank adapter is included to ensure compatibility with a wider range of sewing machines. If your machine's presser foot holder does not directly accommodate the snap-on feet, use the adapter as follows:
- Remove your sewing machine's existing presser foot and holder by unscrewing the small screw that secures it to the presser bar.
- Attach the Madam Sew low shank adapter to the presser bar using the screw. Ensure it is tightened securely.
- You can now snap on any of the Madam Sew presser feet to the adapter as described in section 3.1.
Refer to your sewing machine's manual for specific instructions on removing and attaching presser foot holders.
4. Operating Instructions
Each presser foot in this set is designed for a specific sewing application, from basic stitching to specialized techniques like gathering, zipper insertion, and darning. To effectively use each foot:
- Consult the Printed Manual: The included full-color manual identifies each presser foot by number and provides a brief description of its function and basic usage.
- Access Online Tutorials: Madam Sew provides extensive online resources, including detailed tutorials and videos, demonstrating the proper application of each presser foot. These visual guides are highly recommended for practical understanding.
- Test on Scrap Fabric: Always test the chosen presser foot on a scrap piece of your project fabric before beginning your main work. This allows you to adjust stitch settings, tension, and ensure the desired outcome.
For specific video demonstrations, please refer to the official Madam Sew online resources.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your presser feet, clean them regularly. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any lint, thread, or fabric debris that may accumulate. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or functionality of the feet.
5.2 Storage
Store all presser feet in the provided heavy-duty plastic case. The case features numbered, form-fitting recesses designed to protect each foot from damage, dust, and loss. Always ensure the lid is securely snapped shut to keep the contents organized and safe.
6. Troubleshooting
- Presser Foot Does Not Fit: Ensure your sewing machine is a low-shank model. If your machine requires it, verify that the low shank adapter is correctly installed and securely tightened to the presser bar. If issues persist, consult your sewing machine's manual for compatibility details.
- Needle Breakage: Before operating the machine with a new presser foot, manually lower the needle to confirm it clears the foot's opening. Incorrect needle alignment or using the wrong needle type for the fabric can cause breakage. Adjust needle position if your machine allows, or ensure the foot is correctly attached.
- Stitching Irregularities: If stitches are uneven or skipped, check that the presser foot is securely attached and that the fabric is feeding smoothly. Adjust tension settings on your sewing machine as needed, and ensure the correct needle and thread are being used for your fabric type.
