Brother SA150 Pearls and Sequins Foot Review

This foot is wonderful for sewing on beading, pearls and sequins! And yes, it is plastic as the DESCRIPTION CLEARLY STATES. That's what "Clear plastic for visibility from all angles" means!!!!! I guess some people like to give bad reviews because they don't want to bother reading descriptions.

I have a brother machine and an older Elna. This foot fits both machines well and works great. I looked into the cost of buying directly from brother and it was twice as much. Besides not only do you get a Zig Zag foot but you get an extra shank. Great Buy!

I have used all these attachments for several weeks now; since I am new to sewing I took my time in learning how to use them. First of all they are metal, and sturdy and very well made. I have a Brother LS2521i and they fit perfectly. The rolled hem attachments are awesome, a must have. Your hems come out perfect. The Binder foot was a little tricky to use, but that was my lack of experience since I tried to use a jersey fabric that was too thick and the width of the strip of fabric I was using for bias tape was too wide. After measuring correctly and watching some videos I found in YouTube on using that same attachment it finally worked (after quite a few tries).
The EdgeSticher foot was also a little tricky to use, but again reading the directions several times and finally finding a YouTube video did the trick. Also a very useful foot to have!
I have a book called The Sewing Machine Attachment Handbook by Charlene Phillips that helped me immensely to choose the sewing foot atachments I needed.
Bottom line, they are very nice and do their job. As far as the Binder foot, I might just buy or make bias tape and use the other Distinctive Tape-Sticher presser foot to attach it.
The only thing I wish it had was a nice case like the other Distinctive foot sets.

This product exceeded my expectations. The ruffler works great. The ruffler itself can cost $40+ and is the foot I was searching for. When I found this package with the roller, teflon, and welting feet as well, it was not a difficult decision to purchase.

This looked like fun so I bought it on a whim. I just tried it out. It came as 2 pieces but just needed to be snapped together. I tried it on lightweight muslin doubled up for a tiny bit of stability and it worked great. The stitches on the normal zigzag lined up perfectly. On the other stitches my machine has, they were close to perfect. If I had simply adjusted my stitch length they would have matched too. This will make for some more personalized projects. Love it.

The Distinctive Roller Sewing Machine Presser Foot is effective for preventing fabric (stretchy materials like jerseys and knitted fabrics or hard-to-feed materials like leather or vinyl) from slipping or puckering, because the presser foot rotates to feed the upper layer together with the lower layer without slippage, so the upper layer and lower layer are fed simultaneously.

When you use thinner material it does a double ruffle like a dream.
It took some getting used to but now I love it. Had to make 14 little girl's costumes with ruffles and it saved me many hours of frustration,

Since I own and have used both products, I'll review both the Brother SA109 Binding Foot and the Distinctive Tape Binding Foot at the same time. This will essentially be a comparison of the two.
Both products are about the same price, at the present time there is about a $2 difference, giving a slight edge to Distinctive. Both can be used on most low-shank sewing machines that accept this type of snap-on foot. I've never cut my own binding but have always used bias tape so I cannot state for a fact how either would work for hand-cut binding strips.
The construction between the two brands is quite different. The Brother is made completely of metal while the Distinctive is a combination of metal and plastic. Therein lies the biggest difference between the two. The Brother has no adjustment so is limited to a maximum finished size of 1/4" (7mm) while the Distinctive can be adjusted from about 3/8" to 3/4" (5 to 20mm) finished size. Advantage: Distinctive
The construction design also has an effect on ease of use. The Distinctive Foot has 2 grooves in the plastic. You place your folded bias tape edges into the groves, adjust for width, snap the foot onto the machine and slide the fabric between the two edges of the binding tape. The Brother design is more like a narrowing funnel. Push the bias tape through the opening until it appears on the other side, snap the foot on the machine, and slide in the fabric. You can, of course, perform the above with either foot on the machine, but I've often found it easier to attach the foot after I've put the binding tape in. With the design difference I've found the Brother foot easier to use. Keeping the bias tape and the fabric correctly aligned was easier and I was able to sew a little faster. If I didn't keep the bias tape and the fabric aligned exactly right when using the Distinctive foot, I had the bias tape come out of the groove. If I was lucky I caught it right away, if not, I would have to remove the stitches and re-do a small section. I think it may be especially problematic if you cut your own binding strips and they aren't pefectly straight. Advantage: Brother.
In conclusion, I'm a guy who has taken up quilting as a retirement hobby. I have arthritis and my hands shake a bit so I look for anything that will make things easier for me. I happy I own both the Brother SA109 and the Distinctive Tape Binding Presser Foot, they both work well in different ways. The Brother is easier to use while the Distinctive is more versatile. Neither is perfect, but for me, they are a much better solution than applying bias tape by hand or trying to perfectly fold, iron then sew binding strips into place with a regular presser foot. For that, they each get 4 stars.
