This set is great, it has the most commonly used feet, such as buttonhole, button foot, narrow hem foot, zipper foot, a low shank adapter, a quilt guide, a seam ripper,blind stitch foot, among others, but after I bought it here on Amazon from this seller, i went to Ebay and saw this same set a little cheaper and with the addition of the cording foot,which is not on this set, but overall this set is a good buy for the price and it is compatible with most snap on style sewing machine feet, and if not it comes with the adaptor, overall recommended!!!

I was confused by this product at first, as it is not fully clear what each part is and it was not fully clear how to attach the adaptor which was necessary for use of these parts with my Singer 7025 Deluxe Machine. Fortunately I am persistent and figured it out but it took time. The value here is great, the quality is very good but it would be nice if each part was identified and some explanation went with the adaptor...No written material came with this order at all. Now that I have the adaptor on I am ready to get to my sewing project but I am still not sure what some of the other parts can be used for.

This set came well wrapped though after quite a wait (considering how much is charged for shipping and handling). HOWEVER it is exactly what I was looking for, the adapter is perfect because I have quite an old Singer. I just wish there was some info about all the feet uses and how to use the adapter. I luckily found this site that helped me work out how to use the adapter, Still not sure what all the feet are for and not clear on which one is the zipper foot..... But will work it out I am sure.

Honest reviews on 11 Piece Sewing Machine Foot Kit

I was looking for a zipper foot and an edge guide for my Singer Simple (model 3116). This package appeared to have those and other feet for a fraction of purchasing each separately plus a nice random few others besides.

The collection of feet is great! There's the zipper foot, edge guide, a blindstich foot, a rolled hem foot, a 1/4" edge foot along with the buttonhole foot, a second zig-zag "standard" foot and the remaining feet I *think* might be gathering/shirring/ruffler feet...? (I'm not entirely certain). All nice PLUS there is a "spare" attachment (not really a foot, but you need it to attach the feet to the "plunger" on the machine).

My Singer machine does NOT have the ability to adjust the needle position to either side during the straight stitch. So I do have the problem other reviewers have mentioned the needle comes down squarely in the middle of the zipper foot. Bummmer! BUT I had anticipated this, which is why I'm keeping all the feet.

I made a tiny little cardboard "washer" (if you have thin cardboard from buying underwear or even a thank-you note, that's about the thickness you need a millimeter will do 'er) to fit between the screw and the attachment part so that the entire zipper foot shifts just enough to the side that my needle can go up and down smoothly. Does that make sense? If you take off the foot and the foot attachment by unscrewing it from your sewing machine, you will see what I mean.

The easiest way to make the "washer" is to poke a hole in the cardboard that's barely big enough, then put the screw in, then cut around the top of the screw to trim the cardboard as close as possible (you'll end up with a tiny piece of cardboard with a hole.) When you're putting on the zipper foot, 1st put the attachment piece, 2nd put the washer, then the foot, then the screw. Tighten the screw so the foot moves as little as possible (it won't be completely snug so be careful when sewing it may loosen after awhile, which could cause you to break a needle OR strip your screw).

I already bought the singer confidence machine#7467S which has a manual that labels all the feet. This is an extra set of feet I can add. The feet come in a plastic bag, and the feet are unlabeled but you can't beat the price as I priced each foot on the Singer.com site and each foot is way more expensive. You can compare each foot to the feet they sell and should be able to figure out what each one does.
