Ruler Feet

A ruler foot is essential for using rulers safely around the needle of your machine. The high edge keeps the ruler away from under the needle.

While more and more brands of sewing machine now have or are developing ruler feet for their machines, we also carry the Westalee brand of ruler feet in all shank types for machines that don't have a readily available ruler foot. The foot also comes with a basic ruler that is perfect for getting started with Amy's Craftsy classes on ruler work.

As a Janome dealer, we also carry the Janome Convertible Foot Set in all versions as well as the Frame Quilting Foot Set that makes up the Janome ruler foot combination. It's the first ruler foot made for sewing machines and one of Amy's favorites. (Her favorite ruler foot is a new one by Janome for the MC15000.)

Not sure what shank type you need? Read on....

What type shank do I need for my machine?

If you do not know what shank your machine is, all you need to do is lower your foot and then measure the height of the center of the hole for the screw from the needle plate. We offer 4 Different Foot styles and 2 different thicknesses of templates for Domestic machines based on shank height. Please always indicate machine make and model so we can confirm we are sending you the correct foot.

Here's a blog post with pictures from Amy's blog on determining shank type.

There are some machines who require a different version:
