Pfaff 1/4" Plastic Foot with Metal Guide IDT Snap-On - Part 820881096

Replacement 1/4" Plastic Foot with Metal Guide for Pfaff Sewing Machines

Achieve perfectly uniform 1/4 inch seams with this specialized quilting foot designed for Pfaff sewing machines with IDT (Integrated Dual Feed Technology). Part number 820881096 is a replacement snap-on presser foot featuring a right-side metal guide that ensures consistent and precise seam allowances for quilting and patchwork projects.

What This Foot Does

The 1/4-inch Plastic Foot with Metal Guide is specifically designed for quilting and patchwork, helping you achieve perfectly uniform 1/4-inch seams. The main function of this foot is to ensure a consistent and precise 1/4-inch (6mm) distance between the needle and the fabric edge, which is crucial for accurately piecing together quilt blocks so they fit correctly.

Built-In Metal Guide: It features a right-side metal guide (flange) that you align the edge of the fabric against while sewing. This guide prevents the fabric from shifting and helps maintain a perfectly straight seam line without constant measuring or marking.

Clear Plastic Visibility: The foot is made of clear plastic, which provides excellent visibility of the fabric and stitching area, allowing for greater control and accuracy while you work.

IDT Precision: Designed for use with Pfaff sewing machines that feature the Integrated Dual Feed (IDT) system. Engaging the IDT system ensures that the top and bottom layers of fabric feed evenly, preventing shifting and puckering, which is especially beneficial when working with multiple layers in quilting.

How to Use the 1/4" Foot with Metal Guide

1. Attach the Foot: Snap the 1/4-inch foot with metal guide onto the presser bar holder of your Pfaff machine. Ensure it is correctly engaged with the Pfaff IDT mechanism.
2. Engage IDT: Activate the IDT system on your machine for even fabric feeding.
3. Select Your Stitch: Choose a straight stitch on your sewing machine.
4. Align Fabric: Place two pieces of fabric right sides together under the presser foot, with the edge of the fabric touching the built-in metal guide.
5. Sew: Guide the fabric edge along the right metal guide to sew a perfect 1/4-inch seam allowance.
6. Continue Piecing: Repeat for all quilt block pieces, maintaining consistent seam allowances throughout.
