To Measure:
When presser foot is down, measure the distance from the bottom of the pressure foot to the screw-hole that holds the foot onto the presser bar.
A high shank machine measures approximately 1 1/4" from the presser foot screw to the bottom of the foot. (Uses High Shank Sewing Feet)
A low shank machine measures approximately 3/4" from the presser foot screw to the bottom of the foot. (Uses Low Shank Sewing Feet)
The zipper foot is a versatile presser foot with indents for the needle to move through on either side of the foot, so you can sew a standard zipper without the zipper teeth interfering.
A zipper foot comes with (or is available for) all sewing machines.
This foot is great for other techniques, too, such as inserting an invisible zipper without a special invisible zipper foot, or stitching piping.
