Wonder if they make one for the Brother machines, mine does not rest on the feed dog so therefore the fabric doesn't feed thru without helping it along, or maybe I just have the wrong foot for the brother machine, on my janome the 1/4 foot works beautifully and I love it, so helpful for keeping those seams accurate. Thanks for posting the video
Lorie,, from what I can tell this isn't the same foot as in the video, but the one I bought is Item # ESG-QF "quilting or patchwork foot 1/4"". The one i have doesn't have the fabric guide along the edge. I hate it. It's only useful if you are piecing two layers of fabric, any more than that and you go skittering off the edge especially over seams. So avoid this one when you are shopping. ;)
Thanks so much! I emailed her webstite and left a question. The Babylock site gives no mention about feed dogs on any 1/4'' feet. Hope I get an answer!Quote:

Do you know the # for it?Quote:

this looks like the same one, but for Brother. Since Brother is made by Babylock it should fit
Next post even cheaper
The 1/4" foot with flange for the Babylock does not work on my Babylock. I have the Babylock Espire. I bought two different feet and neither works. I wanted it for sewing jelly roll strips together. That seam line was very wonky. The best I could figure is that the feed dogs are at war with the foot.Quote:

BTW, I talked to the dealer about the Brother machines looking so much like the Babylock. She said that they are different companies but that they use the same manufacturing plant to make the machines. I guess that would be like soft drink companies using the same bottling plant.
One of the issues I have with the 1/4 inch foot is it has little hole. So you cant use it with anything but the straight stitch.
Your welcome Vonnie:)
Thanks for all the links, but since she said it was redesigned I'm going to wait to see if they write back. I can't sew right now anyway. I'll post it if they do.
