What is the difference in a vertical and horizontal blind stitch foot? I want a foot to use to hem pant seams.

Horizontal is for hemming pants. Vertical can have the needle position in left or right. Horizontal is only left needle position. Also horizontal has a seam guide.

As far as I know it will work for any machine as long as you have the correct size that is for your machine. I like an open toed foot just as well so i can see where I am stitching and it is just as successful as the stitch in the ditch foot. It is a matter of preference. I have both and like both.

Happy to! Helps tremendously to sew a straight, even seam. Just set it on the needle plate to the right of the needle (the needle plate is the metal piece that the needle goes up and down through the hole and the feed dogs come up under it) place it as far from the needle as you want your line of stitching and it guides the fabric through perfectly as you sew. I absolutely love this thing!!

this machine comes with a zigzag foot, buttonhole foot, overcasting foot, monogramming foot, zipper foot, blind stitch foot and a button fitting foot and it comes with twin needles. But you can't use all types of bobbins in the machine. You have to get the ones they recommend for it. It's worth the investment.

Hi, there are 3 stitch lengths , a small, medium and long. there is no indication what the sizes are per inch...but the medium is what I use for most of my projects, the large is more of a basting stitch and the small for fine and small areas. I hope this helps/ It is a great machine... Christine

This foot is the one you use like a serger, it does not cut the fabric like a serger, but it allows you to sew an interlocking hem along a raw edge. I use it all the time for hems. You will need to refer to your owners manual for the correct setting to get an OVERCAST stitch. I think it will fit as long as you have the snap on type foot gizmo. I have a singer and it works just fine. BTW this was a good price for it too

The only difference I have found is that this foot seems to slide across the fabric better. I have quilted some VERY thick quilts with this foot and was extremely happy with the results. Hope that helps.

I have no idea if it will work, but I don't see why it shouldn't. I do not use that foot for darning, I use zigzag stitch and drop my feed dogs. I have also started to use the zigzag stitch for embroidery.

I'm not exactly sure what a serged seam looks like. But the seams are not the same on all for sides. So I think it has both.

On two needle models, it has 4.5 mm (11/64ths) and 7 mm (9/32nds). I have had this machine (my first serger) for a couple of months and am enjoying learning a new way of sewing, nice finished seams and rolled hems. I like it a lot for the price.

It will work Vertical or Horizontal. I started off wearing it vertical and I found that it kept catching on things, switched to horizontal and no problem. You will not be able to wear it right on your hip but slightly forward or towards the back. Stitching will fail on the loop after a couple of years but that it is a small price to pay for me.

Try a different room. Flat floor like tile or linoleum, not a rug or carpet. You need to do it barefoot, with no shoes or stockings on either foot.Different readings? How much difference?

Please have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tByXPGwvZ_I to see how a seam guide is used; think of this magnetic seam guide as corresponding to the piece of tape shown in the video. 1/5" is a very peculiar measurement. I don't know of a ruler that would show 1/5". But I figured that 1/5" is about 5 mm, so you can use a millimeter ruler to measure such a distance. On my sewing machine with the needle positioned in the center of the presser foot, 5 mm from the needle would fall under the pressure foot. So the only way I could sew a 5 mm seam would be to move the needle away from the center position, setting it so that it is 5 mm from one edge of the pressure foot. Then I could use the edge of the presser foot as the seam seam guide. So for such an odd seam allowance, this magnetic seam guide would not work unless you have a very narrow presser foot. That said, this is a wonderful seam guide for measuring seam allowances of more conventional widths.

Everything about a blindstitch is completely different from an ordinary sewing machine...theory of operation, mechanics, threading, let alone the foot. This machine is use for specific purpose, particularly hemming pants or sleeves that require an invisible threading appearance, not general sewing

My experience is that the Distinctive a narrow Rolled Hem Foot is good for heming, but a bit of a challenge when turning corners where there's usually thickness of the fabric. Will a bit of practice and patience you might get it to work for you.

Yes! the Janome DC 3050 has 50 different stitches. I have done an overcast stitch with my standard foot. I love it.
