What Is the Sawtooth Presser Foot?

The Sawtooth Presser Foot is the standard foot that ships with every Ultrafeed machine. Its aggressive teeth on both the foot and feed dog grip thick materials like:

  • Upholstery fabric
  • Canvas
  • Denim
  • Vinyl mesh
  • Other heavy-duty textiles

This foot is designed to easily climb over seams and varying fabric thicknesses, making it a great all-purpose option. It’s perfect for most everyday sewing tasks.

When to Upgrade to a Specialty Presser Foot

Your Ultrafeed can do more than just basic sewing — and that’s where specialty presser feet come in. Whether you’re:

  • Installing zippers
  • Sewing leather or delicate materials
  • Adding extra-large welting
  • Creating double cording for upholstery

There’s a foot designed specifically for your project.
