Sewing - Mystery Presser Feet


Expert: Sharon Vogel - 6/30/2009

Question
Hello: I finally organized all of my presser feet and came across two that I could not identify.  I wonder if you have an idea what they are called and used for.  Thanks.

Answer
Dear Wilma,
Great question!  The foot on the left is a gathering foot and the one on the left is a cording foot.  The answer took a bit of research and some questioning of my 85 year old mother!  I had never used a gathering foot before so it was the hardest to identify.

Happy sewing (and organizing)!

Sharon
