Review on 🧡 Precision Stitching with Brother SA127 5mm Narrow Hem Foot: Perfect for Neat and Delicate Edges! by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sews 3mm (not 5mm) selvage

I find the name of this presser foot confusing as 5mm really only refers to the feed dog size on the machine, not the hem size. Nowhere in the product description does it explain that the edge is actually 3mm, although it refers to the size of the rack and says it fits on 5mm and then 7mm rack which also seems like a mismatch. Would not have ordered this if described correctly as my Brother XL-2610 already comes with a narrow hemming foot which creates a 3mm hem. What I wanted was a hemming foot that creates a 5mm hem, which is no misconception. The instructions that come with the foot clearly state this difference, but nowhere on the product page does this state. However, I have used the foot successfully on light to medium weight fabrics such as georgette or viscose crepe for a 3mm hem. The foot is of good quality, it's just not what I had in mind and that's why I now have two identical feet.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
