HONEYSEWLow Shank Snap on Tricot Foot for Singer Brother Kenmore Elna Pfaff Viking Knit Foot

This foot helps prevent skipped stitches on thin stretchy knits like DTY, ITY, and active wear. Works similar to a walking foot. Using it on my Singer 6800HD machine.

I haven't had much chance to take it for a real road test yet, but I can already tell this foot will help me out a lot! I sew a lot of things with very small (1/8") seam allowances, so a bigger walking foot wasn't viable for me. In my test scraps this should do the trick, though! And it fit my old Janome machine just fine. Just make sure you tilt it a bit so the metal arm is behind the peg/screw for the needle. I didn't do this when I first put it on and thought it might not be compatible with my machine, but that simple thing saved me from returning it because of my own error!

The foot arrived on time and in perfect conditions, therefore I needed to test it!I sew mostly knit fabrics. I have been successfully using a walking for with them, but it is a little nuisance changing presser feet once I install the walking foot on my machine. I decided to give this presser foot a try, since I read in a sewing forum that the tricot foot was convenient because it's simpler to install than a walking foot. It just snaps on, feature that I honestly like, but it is not suitable for sewing all knit fabrics. I tested the tricot foot with tri-blend jersey, liverpool, cotton lycra and rayon. I also altered the sewing machine's presser foot pressure while testing different knit stitches. The tricot foot performed well at the lowest presser foot pressure on tri-blend jersey, liverpool and cotton lycra with any of the stretch stitches (wobbly stitch, zig zag, triple stretch stitch, and mock serge stitch). I tried to increase the presser foot pressure, but it stretched the fabric and made it shift to the left making, which made it hard to get a straight line of stitches (if you are getting this with this foot, decrease your machine's presser foot pressure to the lowest setting). After testing the tricot foot with stable and semi-stable knits, I tested it with light weight rayon/lycra. Definitely for light weight fabrics, I will continue to use my walking foot. After making all the adjustments to my machine (presser foot pressure and adjusting the thread tension) it would always stretch the rayon and shift the fabric towards the left.I am please with my purchase. I was not expecting to completely replace my walking foot ( $40 foot) with an inexpensive alternative. I will definitely use the tricot foot with my more stable knits.

I have been using this foot for a couple of months now. (I sew daily.) I am still just mind-blown at how inexpensive it was and how much I love it! Here is my two cents on it:I have a walking foot with "teeth" that pull the fabric through on top and the walking foot is spectacular 99% of the time. But there are some knit fabrics that are just so slinky, soft, thin, stretchy, fragile, etc. that apparently this magic little knit foot is MADE for them. The walking foot snags some of these finer knits with those upper teeth. And it's just overkill for such thin, stretchy fabric sometimes. But this little knit foot is just right, puts just the right amount of pressure on it from above and the little feed pad on it is SOFT and FLAT and does not snag fabrics at all. My ONLY complaint about the knit foot is that it has trouble with layers once they start to get a little thick. So, how delicate and thin the knit is and how thick it gets when there are multiple layers is how I decide whether I use my walking foot or this knit foot. With the two of them, I can sew it all with ease! :)

It does fairly well and a lot more easier to pop on than struggling to put the walking foot on.

This is a lifesaver for sewing with knits. I had such a hard time with knits that I avoided them, until I found this knitting foot. Well worth the money.

I bought this to replace a walking foot that I'd been using to sew knits. This works so much better! No snagging, all metal (instead of partially plastic), works exactly as desired. Plus I don't have to unscrew anything to install it since it clips on like other presser feet.

I thought this would be an amazing addition for sewing knits. It's really not. It's pretty "loose" and isn't easy to keep the fabric from shifting. Also, for some reason it's caused my needle to come loose completely! Which can be extremely dangerous. It can get caught, break off and fly into my eye, jab my finger...multiple scenarios; none are good. I definitely don't need my machine to break. I'm too broke for that. And I kinda need my eyeballs too.
