It's completely different. This foot is what I use to sew a true quarter-inch seam. It's by far the best I've come across. I'm a Janome machine girl at heart, and I recently bought my brother one, and the feet are so much bigger that I couldn't get a true quarter inch on it. This foot is one of my favorites. I bought them as gifts for my sister and a few friends because I adore them. Only when quilting in the ditch do I use my walking foot; it's a separate foot that's a lot bigger and has a box behind it.
Brother packaging contains the original part.
With the ST531HD, you can use the SA125 1/4-inch piecing foot.

Selected User Reviews For Brother ¼ Inch Piecing Foot for Quilting and Topstitching, SA125, Silver
This is a foot with a lot of flaws in its design. I doubt the designer has ever pieced fabric with a 1/4" seam, and the wording in the excellent instructions backs up my suspicion. This foot has markings that might be useful for piecing set-in or "Y" seams, but I've found that sewers who are willing to tackle them are very good at gauging their stopping distance. I gave the foot two stars instead of one because (a) it is well-made, and (b) the small needle hole is well-designed to keep the fabric from bunching or being pulled up. br>br>If you look closely at my photo of the foot, you'll notice that it's notched on the right side; the green arrow indicates where the fabric's edge should go to achieve a 1/4" seam, not the foot's outer edge. Unless you have X-ray vision, you will have to guess where the fabric is once it has passed under the foot. It is invisible to ray eyes. As a result, your seams will wander and you will be frustrated. Unpicking is also required. This can be seen in the second photo. It will be necessary to unpick. br>br>I'm not a complete beginner when it comes to quilting. My go-to sewing machine is a vintage Singer 15. Sewing allowances are rarely a problem for me. I purchased the Brother CS 6000i because I required a zig-zag printer. The price was excellent for a zig-zag stitching machine for stretchy fabric garment construction. It's a great little machine that came with a lot of extras, but I'm not going to use it unless and until they make or I find a better piecing foot.
"I can sew a quarter-inch seam," I reasoned. It is not a problem. " This is incorrect! My first block was off by about a quarter inch after only three pieces. *sigh* So I ordered this foot on Friday night. It arrived this morning (Sunday), and after 20 minutes of reading the instructions and installing the foot (the majority of which was spent figuring out how to change my default needle position to center), I pieced together a different set of those three original pieces. Seams are perfect at 1/4 inch! In fact, despite some of the negative reviews I read before buying, I discovered that this foot only makes a scant 1/4 inch seam, resulting in a perfect 1/4 inch seam! I've attached a photo of my first and second attempts with this foot. (The white sashing should be 1/2 inch wide. ) ) I am completely satisfied!.
I purchased this to use with my Brother CS 6000i printer, and it took some time to figure out how to use it. However, once I figured out my machine's settings, this foot performed admirably and produced perfect 1/4-inch seams. Before using it on a quilting project, I strongly advise you to test it out on scrap fabric.
inch piecing is a technique that involves cutting a piece of fabric into an inch It's also more efficient. I discovered after consulting my sewing machine manual that one of the feet included with my Brother machine is also suitable for 1/4-inch seams. inch piecing is a technique that involves cutting a piece of fabric into an inch It's also more effective than this one.
I asked the lady at the quilt shop what I had done wrong because the one I had just finished didn't line up right like the pattern said it should. She pointed out that my seams were 1/2 inch rather than 1/4 inch when I sent her pictures. She told me to get a 1/4 foot and that it would be a great tool for those pesky seams after I dismantled the whole thing. She informed me that hers has a fabric-guiding lever. So I ordered this one because it is compatible with my Brother machine. I tried it and found it to be adequate. I was disappointed that there is no lever, so I have to go slowly to keep my seams at 1/4 inch. I reverted to using my quilting foot once more.
I bought a cheap Brother sewing machine solely for the purpose of making masks for this idiotic pandemic. I'm not a skilled sewer, so I needed a 1/4 inch presser foot because I'm all over the place if I don't follow the edge, and the one that came with the machine is 1/2 inch. My machine was not listed among the models that this would fit, but it works perfectly and is extremely inexpensive. Due to the extended shipping time, I was on the verge of canceling the order, but I'm glad I didn't. It's made my life a lot easier!.
That, however, does not appear to be the case. It arrived in an ordinary zip lock bag, with no packaging. My Brother Innov- is able to accommodate the foot. However, it appears to be too big. s NQ575PRW At my local sewing machine dealer, I purchased additional sewing feet for this machine. There are stamped markings on those. arrived in "Brother" packaging that was still sealed. The sewing foot, according to this listing, is a Brother part. new. A picture of the sewing foot in a Brother brand package can be found in the listing. As a result, I have no idea what I received.
Let me start by saying that pressor feet are one of my favorite things in the world. This foot is one of my favorites because it takes the guesswork out of sewing 1/4-inch seams, and it also gives you a 1/8-inch seam if you line up the fabric on the other side. It's difficult to do this with an all-purpose foot because the fabric wants to lift up over the inside. The fabric is held in place by the wider portion of this foot. Anyone who works with narrow seams will benefit greatly from this foot. I'd have to say this is my favorite, aside from my overlocking foot (which came with my brother's cs6000i).
