1/8 inch foot?

I have a 1/4 foot with a little metal edge guide, as I'm sure most of you
do. Has anyone ever heard of a similar foot with an 1/8 inch guide on it? I
have projects other than quilting that I could use it for.

The featherweight foot has an 1/8" guide on its right side...perhaps with an
adapter you could use one?

My sewing machine doesn't have a 1/4 foot. Grumble. So I bought a big
magnetic guid. Consider that if you have a noncomputerized machine.

They don't make that sort of foot for my machine because the right feed
dog would not come in contact with the fabric or be covered by the
presser foot.

I haven't, but there is no real need to have a foot, Linda.
You can use masking tape on your machine, or follow a guide on the
needle plate - I have a 1/8th mark on there.

Might an 1/8" foot have a problem with feed dogs lining
up and feeding properly?

There are various guides on the needle plate but I'm having wishful thinking
(lol) of a foot just like the 1/4 inch one. Having an 1/8 inch edge guide on
the foot itself would be so nice for slippery chiffons and satin because I
do alterations for people in addition to quilting.

Back in my younger days I worked in a couple sewing factories and they had
presser feet called 'riser' feet, mostly for top stitching, and they were as
narrow as 1/16 inch. I've just never seen anything similar for home sewing
machines.

Does your sewing machine brand also make commercial machines? Like say
singer or Juki? You might find that a commercial machine foot might fit
and then you could have a 1/16 inch foot.

On my Bernina there is a little extension of the 1/4 foot that is 1/8
inch.

I have a generic 1/4 foot for my featherweight and the left side of it
is the 1/8 inch.

Howdy!
A band-aid, with that little bump in the pad, works well
for keeping slippery fabric from slithering over too far.
It's also handy for any mishaps... oh, wait, we don't have those. g
