Darning and free-motion feet

Feet for sewing with the feed dogs lowered: darning feet, free-motion quilting feet in closed, open-toe and clear versions, giant and big-foot darning feet for thick quilts, and spring-loaded embroidery feet. They hover above the fabric and press it only while the needle is down, so you steer the quilt by hand. Fit depends on the shank and on whether the foot's arm sits on the needle-clamp screw, which is why each foot is listed by model; most domestic brands have both a snap-on and a screw-on version.

Open-toe and clear feet give the best view for following a design; a closed foot is steadier on thick layers.

Frequently asked questions

Darning foot or free-motion foot — is there a difference?

Mostly naming. Both are used with the feed dogs down; free-motion quilting feet tend to have a larger, clearer sole.

Do I lower the feed dogs?

Yes, or cover them with a plate on machines that cannot drop them. Set stitch length to zero and move the fabric by hand.
