What is this notion used for? This is used for inserting a YKK invisible zipper.

Did you get your money's worth after the purchase? Yes.

Is this notion easily available? I believe so.

Would you recommend it to others? This is highly recommended.

This was my first and only foot to insert an invisible sip. I walked into Vogue Fabrics, got my invisible zip, then saw a rack of these nearby. I saw the price and said, why not? I have never looked back. I still press open my zipper coils before I sew them in, but they still don't really lay completely flat. This foot has the perfect size grooves and rolls right over the coils and lies the most perfect line of stitching next to the zipper. I can get very close to the bottom of the zip, then I put in my regular zipper foot and finish the seam.

Easy Peasy.

I would say this in one notion you can't live without if you use YKK zippers!

nancy2001 11/7/09 This is a great invisible zipper foot, but it only works with YKK zippers.

sew2006 11/8/09 This looks very much like the invizible zipper foot that's sold in Canada at Fabricland in different packaging. Even with the high shank these do not work on the high shank Janome sewing & embroidery machines. The needle on those machines hits the back of the foot due to a slightly different position of the needlebar. I tried 4 sets of feet just to make sure.

vasallese 11/8/09 I am still too shy to try invisible zippers, but as I read more and more, I think I really need to give it a try. Thanks for letting us know about different brands of invisible zippers out there.
