Gold Star Free-Motion Darning Quilting Sewing Machine Presser Foot

i received the darning foot in envelope with plastic bag with the foot. No there were not any instructions with it. Luckily I'd seen a youtube video on it and making adjustments to it. but i simply put it on the machine and starting stippling. I had been trying for weeks doing the various things people told me to try for my machine since i can not drop my feed dogs. and i am a new quilter/sewer. But i put this foot on with no problems (having seen it in a video already helped, might have been an issue if i had not, but once you've removed one they all seem to just go the same way so i prob would have figured it out, it was not hard). i was worried about bouncing i'd seen in the video and was prepare to do the rubber band trick but i did not have to. the foot works GREAT! not only was i able to stippling right away but i was able to even write my name very neatly with the foot. The only problem i had (which maybe just me others with better eyes may have not problem. it is a closed foot. the area between the two red lines could prob do without. it gets in the way of me seeing the tread tracks in the quilt, but again someone with better eyes may or may not have that problem. I also saw how to cut that out on video so i may do that if it gets too bad. overall the product was as stated and exactly as pictured. it was in great condition and i have been stippling away with it. I am VERY happy with the overall experience and plan to order another one as backup! and it was shipped quickly so i did not have to wait forever to to get it. i am happy with this product and the service!

I am just starting to learn how to use a sewing machine. I'll probably never be great or even use it enough to pay for itself - I just want to learn it for now for the sake of learning it - basic repairs, &c. Really getting into this craft can cost many thousands of dollars very quickly, and that would defeat my purpose. I bought a used machine - very strong, but no built-in computers. While I fully understand how that might be preferable for a person doing 'production' work, it's overkill for me. I just really respect the craft, and want to learn it to some degree.I'm not interested in paying the high prices which so many charge for their 'specialty hobby' accessories. I'm more interested in dealing with companies which find reasonably priced items so that the craft is more accessible to people like me. This is one of those companies.They packed it well, shipped it quickly, and the item is well worth the price. I don't really know if the higher-priced 'professional' tool is much better (so for those comparisons, you'll have to look elsewhere), and I really don't care. This item is solid and works well.Most of all, these are really nice people to deal with.

I am an advanced beginning sewing and was ready to try my hand at free motion quilting and bought this foot. It came by itself in a ziploc baggie with no instructions at all. I had to fiddle with it a while to get it on and again to get it to work without a huge tangle of thread on the underside. That being said, once I figured it all out (which really didn't take all that long) it works fine. I haven't done any real quilting with it yet, though. I have just practiced on scraps. If I use it on a real project and it doesn't work right, I will update this review. All in all, its a good foot for a great price, it would just be really helpful if there were instructions or at the very least a link to instructions online. You can google instructions, but they won't be for this foot exactly and may not help.

I have never used a free-motion foot before and wondered if it would fit my old Montgomery Ward machine. It does and does a beautiful job. If I should ever have to replace it (as it is made of plastic and I'm not sure of how it will wear) I would be willing to buy an all metal foot. I am getting into quilting and am not sure how long it will last but for now I am happy with it.

Great for the need to free motion quilt and embroidery. Some tips I would offer is do not use a darning plate, it is not necessary. Your machine will still allow you to free motion quilt with the feed dogs up, you just need to leave the stitch length at a 2 or 3 depending on your design. I've been using this with my Brother XL series and it works perfectly!

I bought this quilting foot because I wanted to learn how to quilt the fancy quilts I see in the store. But I looked online and found advice on how to alter this foot once I purchased it. (Apparently, there is currently no "perfect" quilting foot out there at all. Most quilters have purchased a standard one like this and changed it.) Leah Day has a tutorial on how to fix this quilting foot so that it doesn't go jumping around on your quilt sandwich while you're trying to quilt nice smooth curvy patterns. If you are new to quilting like I was, please make sure that you watch free motion quilting video. But you may find, like I did that the back of the quilt gets all tangled when the tension is wrong. Be patient. You can get it. And this foot helps.

What a great price. Even with expedited shipping it was cheaper than what I would have paid and the Sears site. I didn't have to make any adjustments as others said in their reviews. I got it just in time for another quilting class on free-motion quilting. It was a shot in the dark since there really wasn't that much info. So it it worked fine on my 10 year old kenmore sewing achine, It would have been nice to have some directions with this. It arrived in bubble wrap and nothing else. I figured it out. so I am sure others will as well
