Cut 'n' Sew Foot
Elaray Intermediate PA USA Member since 4/20/05 Posts: 723	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/2/13 11:52 AM I recently bought a sewing machine for my daughter. One of the included accessories was a cut 'n' sew foot. It trims the fabric while making an overcast stitch and I'm guessing it is meant to replace a serger. I'm a gadget nut and could be tempted to buy this attachment for my machine. Has anyone used this type of attachment? Is it practical? I own a serger; love it and use it all the time. I'm wondering if there are times when this attachment would be preferable to a serger. -- Edited on 1/2/13 12:12 PM -- ------ I sew, therefore I am.

I know it's most certainly user error... in fact...I think I will try again! ------ http://www.acdc-vintage.com This one, that one, and a bunch of other ones!

Subject: Cut n Sew Foot Date: 1/2/13 1:07 PM I have used such an accessory for, by and on a Bernina. It not only does not take the place of even the basic serger, it makes a bloody mess that drops into the feed dogs and bobbin case. ------ “I don’t give them Hell, I just tell the truth about them and they think it’s Hell.” — Harry Truman

A serger is so much faster and neater. Do they even make these anymore? For the price of this attachment (which I actually bought in 1987), you could get a Brother 1034D.

But I own a serger so it has never left the box- not even to test it out. I can't think of any situation that I would change to that foot instead of using my serger. ------ re-living my youth through sewing...

Kind of ironic that Babylock would sell such a thing

It's not as good or as fast as a serger but is nice to use instead of a serger when you don't have one. HTH ------ Cathy "I'm not messy, I'm creative" - Mary Engelbreight

It's a head scratcher...The blade is more an Exacto knife and seems messy. I'm already abusive to my machines without filling it with fluff. The 1034D serger is the same price as a non-warranty machine repair. Ask me how I know..... ------ Brother Innovis NX650Q; Brother Nouvelle 1500; Brother CS6000i; Brother 1034D

I used it a lot to overcast seam allowances on cotton. That was before I got a serger and haven't used it in years. it was useful.
