Pfaff Open Toe Free-Motion Spring Foot (821141096)

The Pfaff Open Toe Free‑Motion Spring Foot (821141096) is a specialist presser foot designed for free‑motion quilting, embroidery, stippling and thread painting. Its open‑toe design provides exceptional visibility of the needle area, making it easier to follow intricate patterns and achieve precise, controlled stitching.

The built‑in spring mechanism helps prevent fabric lift, ensuring smooth, even stitches - especially on layered or lofty materials. Whether you're quilting detailed motifs or adding artistic embellishments, this foot gives you the freedom and accuracy you need.

• Hint: Lower the needle a little bit to make it easier to place the guide on the foot in the right position above the needle clamp.
• Note: When the feed dogs are dropped, the fabric is no longer fed by the machine. You must move the fabric.
• Disengage the IDT system.
• Loosen the presser foot holder screw completely and remove the holder.
• Place the Open-Toe Free-Motion Spring Foot around the presser bar and attach it with the screw included in the package. Make sure the metal arm on the foot is placed above the needle clamp.
• Thread your machine.
• Select a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch (maximum stitch width 5.0).
• Set your PFAFF sewing machine to spring foot free-motion setting/ Free-motion position. The feed dogs will drop automatically on some machines. With other machines you need to lower the feed dogs manually. ( Refer to you owner´s manual).
• Maintain a consistent speed and move the fabric in a smooth motion. You are creating the length of the stitch as you move the fabric. The red markings on the foot can be used as a guide when stippling or following a design.
