When sewing applique the standard satin stitch foot or open toe satin stitch foot are used and the applique foot makes the job easier.
 
There is an elevated heal which allows a close satin stitch to be sewn and move more smoothly without being flattened into the fabric.
 
It is also shorter than the other feet making it easier for maneuvering around curves and corners which can be a little tricky.
 
Smooth, effortless, beautiful applique results can be acheived with this foot.
 
NB - Category A models only - This foot requires the heal ledge on the ankle it clips too. On category A machines this is not on the ankle that came with your machine. To use a seperate ankle it will need to be purchased to use with this foot.
