I ordered this foot to sew decorative twist cording around the edge or in the seam of a decorative silk pillow I'm making. I could easily sew the cording in with any foot. But I wanted to sew really tight up against the cord so none of the lip would show through the seam. I also wanted a nice top stitch along side of the cording like 1/16 inch away. No other foot could get me that close. This foot is amazing! It's adjustable so I can slide (left to right) the foot close to the cording with the needle either right on top of the foot or right next to it. It worked either way. I am using my Singer Futura for this project. It fits perfect. My machine has a low foot vs. some Singers that have a high foot or other brands with a slant foot. Make sure you hand tighten the knurled screw once you choose where you want the seam, so it is secure or it will not sit flat on the fabric. I also adjusted my needle (left to right) using my stitch width selector so I could fine tune where I got the seam exactly. It arrived super fast the next day (using 2 day Prime shipping). It was already assembled in the box, I just unscrewed my snap foot assembly and screwed this one on I saw another reviewer had some trouble with this. I searched You Tube when I was searching for a foot to solve my dilemma one video had many types of feet (this one included) that let me see it in action. Worked perfectly for me. A very good idea to purchase and have as part of my sewing tools.

I purchased this after-market zipper foot when I lost my original Singer foot. It didn't fit correctly and the foot part kept getting under the needle. I fought with it to make it work and finally threw it away. Wouldn't buy another one.Best Deals for Distinctive Adjustable Zipper Piping Cording Sewing Machine Presser
I bought this foot to make my own piping. I am a beginner with sewing and machines and found this very simple to put on. However, at first I thought the foot was defective/not fit for my machine (a basic cheap kenmore) because my needle would hit the foot and make it impossible to sew (as pointed out by another review).My husband helped figure it out. The trick is, if the left/right adjustment screw at the back of the foot is not really, really tight, when set in the full down position this foot will shift forward ever so slightly because there is give in the tightening spring. This tiny bit of forward orientation interferes with the needle. You can check if its tight enough by closely watching if the foot slides a tiny bit forward once it goes completly down. If so, just tighten the screw with the assistance of pliers (or someone else's stronger fingers).
Once I did this, the foot went down solidly and did not slip forward when positioned down. And I was done piping in minutes!
I also love the shiny material of all the distinctive feet. They look so sturdy, fancy, and high quality to me, and feel substantial in my hand.
