All of those feet you mentioned are included for different types of fabric. For the month that I've owned the book, I've been using it to choose the presser feet and stitch type and have had good results.

Walking foot: Fabrics that that don't feed through your feed dogs evenly, like knits on some machines. For quilting, so that all the layers don't shift. Rolling foot: Velvets, so you don't crush or get hung up on the nap. Teflon foot: Vinyls, faux leathers, or other "sticky" surfaces. ------ -- "I base my fashion sense on what doesn't itch." — Gilda Radner http://stitchesandseams.blogspot.com

I've seen people recommend rolling foot for knits too, but since I don't sew many knits, and don't have a rolling foot, I can't comment one way or the other. ------ Muria Where did all this fabric come from? I CAN'T have bought THAT much!
