Straight-stitch plate and foot are used for straight stitching only. The needle hole (arrow) in the plate is small and round. The straight-stitch plate and foot do not allow for any sideways needle movement. Use these features when your fabric or sewing procedure requires close control, such as edgestitching or making collar points. They are also good for sheers and delicate fabrics, because the small needle hole helps keep fragile fabrics from being drawn into the feed.

Zigzag plate and foot are the plate and foot on a zigzag machine at time of purchase. They are used for zigzag and multi-needle work as well as plain straight stitching on firm fabrics. The needle hole (arrow) in the plate is wider, and the foot has a wider area for the needle to pass through, allowing for side-to-side needle motion. Use this plate and foot for general-purpose sewing.

Zipper foot is used to stitch cording, insert zippers, or stitch any seam that has more bulk on one side than the other. It adjusts to either side of the needle.

Button foot holds flat buttons in position for attaching with machine zigzag stitch. This foot saves time when sewing on several buttons.
