5.0 out of 5 stars They work!
Great price for all the feet. And for those having trouble with the ruffler.. every ruffler in the world is a pain in the back side to figure out when you first start using them. And I admit that the instructions that come with it where worthless! I even called the manufacturer and no one got back to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work with my sewing machine
I bought this set because I wanted the ruffler foot and this seemed like the most cost effective way to get it. I sewed with it for probably 5 hours the day it arrived. It started out working fine, but progressively began to break more and more needles (I broke probably 12-15 during the course of the day). I'm not sure if something got out of alignment or what, but I...

This review is from: Distinctive 7-Piece Sewing Foot Home Dec Package - Includes Ruffler, Concealed Zipper Foot, Gathering Foot, 1/4" Welting Foot, Adjustable Zipper Foot, Non-Stick Foot, Roller Foot + Case - Fits All Low Shank Snap-On Singer, Brother, Janome and More! (Office Product)
Great price for all the feet. And for those having trouble with the ruffler.. every ruffler in the world is a pain in the back side to figure out when you first start using them. And I admit that the instructions that come with it where worthless! I even called the manufacturer and no one got back to me.

I did so much searching online and finally came across a great REAL manual for using a ruffler foot. Google the words "ruffler unruffled" and a free PDF will come up. I used it and after some reading and a few failed tries, fixed my problem.

Just be prepared to take a few days or hours (if your lucky) to figure out the kinks of the enigma called the "ruffler foot".. it is kind of like learning to operate a fancy overhead projector with no instructions.
Again, google "ruffler unruffled"

5.0 out of 5 stars ruffler foot alone makes this a good purchase, May 11, 2011

This review is from: Distinctive 7-Piece Sewing Foot Home Dec Package - Includes Ruffler, Concealed Zipper Foot, Gathering Foot, 1/4" Welting Foot, Adjustable Zipper Foot, Non-Stick Foot, Roller Foot + Case - Fits All Low Shank Snap-On Singer, Brother, Janome and More! (Office Product)
Distinctive 7-Piece Sewing Foot Home Dec Package - Includes Ruffler, Concealed Zipper Foot, Gathering Foot, 1/4" Welting Foot, Adjustable Zipper Foot, Non-Stick Foot, Roller Foot + Case - Fits All Low Shank Snap-On Singer, Brother, Janome and More!

Good quality sewing foot package. It actually includes 8 pieces, not 7 since an adaptor is included for machines that do not automatically accept snap-on feet; a pleasant surprise in a market-place that teaches us to routinely accept "gotcha" type product claims. The feet are well-packaged in a permanent storage case with a formed foam insert to cradle each foot to and to keep it from being damaged in storage.

When I checked the price on a ruffler-foot at my local sewing shops, the lowest price I found was $35 plus tax (9.4%) for that one piece alone. Even though some pieces are duplicates of ones I already own, overall I saved money with this package. I will definitely use both the piping and the 1/4 inch welting feet and I won't have to purchase a non-stick foot which is useful in some home decorating projects (sewing on vinyl or leather for instance.)

If you are not an experienced sewer however, I highly recommend a sewing class to learn how to use the specialized feet especially the ruffler. While the included instructions are detailed and complete, they may not make a lot sense to a beginning sewer who does not know the terminology used. (Our local sewing shop has a class entitled "Sewing With Your Feet" whose title might make more sense to you if you've been trying to use some of the specialized feet that may have come with your machine.) The instructions include a quick-check guide at the beginning of the instructions for each foot that tell you at-a-glance whether to use a straight or zig-zag stitch as well as the recommended thread tension and stitch length.

The sewing feet are good quality and should work fine with the listed brands and models. For certain very-expensive sewing machines, you will want to stick with the original manufacturer's custom presser-feet to avoid damaging your machine and voiding your warranty.

Good price, good quality, excellent packaging and shipping.

This product exceeded my expectations. The ruffler works great. The ruffler itself can cost $40+ and is the foot I was searching for. When I found this package with the roller, teflon, and welting feet as well, it was not a difficult decision to purchase.

I mainly bought this for the Ruffler and Im so glad I did!! They're well made and pretty easy to use! I only wish the instructions were a bit easier to comprehend, but that's what the internet is for haha Found instructions online that went into more detail and all of then work great.
I will have much use for all 7 of these! Thank you so much for the great product!

This is a bargain! All feet work perfectly both on my Janome Sewist 521 DeLuxe and my Singer Confidence 7470. I have used all of them and I'm delighted! Note that you should check all screws when you are using the ruffler: it is as all such quite jerky and the screw holding the needle caved in and I broke a needle after ruffling up a storm my first time around. When you watch out it will never disappoint you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, May 26, 2011

This set is really great! The ruffler is a bit tricky, but there are videos on youtube, and I found a great manual at youcanmakethis.com. You have to sign up before you download it, but it goes into great detail about using the ruffler, its parts and different types. With the help of the manual (the one included is not very detailed) and the videos I had a fairly easy time figuring it out, I was ruffling in under an hour. I am also in love with the welting attachment, it makes it so easy!! I can't wait to use the others. The pieces are metal and of very good quality.

Also, my box came with a part missing and I emailed Mr. and Mrs.Vac and Sew and they responded within and hour and have shipped out the missing part. It came today.

I definitely recommend this product and company.

It started out working fine, but progressively began to break more and more needles (I broke probably 12-15 during the course of the day). I'm not sure if something got out of alignment or what, but I couldn't solve the problem. The vendor was extremely willing to help over email, but it's hard to virtually diagnose and fix a problem of this sort. I ended up returning the foot package. If this foot works with your machine, it's a great deal.. however, it didn't work for mine. I have a Babylock Crafter's Choice sewing machine.

Package has everything you need to do whatever you desire. I tried to find individual sewing feet locally, but did not fit my ELNA SU. All fit as promised.

Is it just me??? There are absolutely no directions with this set of feet. I'm sure if I could get them on my machine, they might work great. But I have spent hours trying to figure out how to get them on my machine, which it says they fit!! A couple of the feet that do just snap on, don't align right with the needle (front to back not side to side) so that the needle won't go through the hole right. I've wanted to throw the whole thing in the garbage and have wasted way to much time and energy online and on my machine trying to figure it out! I give up!!! I'm sending it back. Anything this complicated certainly deserves some directions!!
