Brother SA135 Overlock Vertical Foot Silver

This is the best Presser foot if you do not have a surger machine, this overlock foot works amazing. Direct fit for my sewing machine. Easy install!

I broke my overlock foot that came with my machine (marked G) after accidentally choosing the wrong stitch width. The force of the needle was enough to snap the small metal bar that used to separate the left and right side of the stitches. I ordered this replacement foot and it seems to work fine, but it is different in design from the other foot. It has a large metal spatula that sits perpendicular to the fabric and overhangs the front of the foot. This part is much larger than the former metal bar on the old foot. There is also a larger/wider metal bar that separates the left and right stitches so there is probably no danger of it snapping again if the needle were to hit it again. Overall, I think it's an improvement over the old foot.

A family member gave me a Brother sewing machine because she never used it (my main machine is an old metal viking, I'd never used a Brother). She bought it at Costco, it didn't come with anything but a bobbin, a needle, and a presser foot. I have no idea what model it is. I purchased this foot and just hoped it would fit. It fits great! It was easy to install. The stitches look wonderful. Given I went into this blind I couldn't have hoped for better. A great, solid, smooth foot!

Once I had my sewing machine adjusted correctly, the Brother SA135 Overlock Foot did a good job of keeping my overlock stitch right at the edge of the fabric. The instructions say to set the stitch width to at least 3.5mm. That part should probably be in a large, bold typeface. If you use a narrower stitch width than that, your needle will strike the thin metal bar in the center of the foot. I personally found that I needed to set the width all the way out to my machine's maximum width of 5mm to get a stitch I was happy with. (As seen in the attached photo.)

When my sewing machine tangled up a mass of thread and snapped the thin metal bar on the overlock foot that came with it, I went hunting for a sturdy replacement and found it here! I was worried this would be a cheap, no-name imitation but it came in Brother brand packaging and fit my Brother XR4040 machine perfectly! And when I say it fit perfectly, I mean it snapped in place instantly with no fuss and worked with the "default" overlock stitch settings without hitting the thin metal plate or bending the needle. It was literally snap-and-go PERFECT! Even better, it has a thicker metal piece than the flimsy one that came with the machine. After sewing dozens of items, the machine misfed again and put pressure on the foot in the same way it had before but this foot did not snap! I'm very, very pleased with it and it is holding up well even though I am putting it through its paces with a 300 piece project! I couldn't find the part info I needed to verify this was the right foot before I bought it so I'm going to list it here to hopefully help others: This SA135 foot is the same/fits the same as "Overcasting Foot "G" Part XE6305-001" listed in the manual that came with my machine. It DOES fit Brother XR4040 computerized sewing machines. It DOES have the letter "G" on it and come in blue Brother brand packaging.

My original overcast foot which came with the machine when I bought it was destroyed during a needle strike. I jumped on Amazon in hope of next day delivery but this one seemed to be genuine accessory from the Brand Brother itself, so I decided to buy it with 2-day shipping. However, I was in a middle of a project so I got to my local shops to buy a third party overcast foot while waiting for the shipment. The foot worked fine, but with a caveat in mind. Compared to the original foot which came with the machine, and the ones I bought at my local shop, this foot has a smaller width and bigger middle bar. My machine’s auto overcast setting is 3.5mm in width but the needle scrapes along the middle bar causing a streaking noise. I have to increase the width of my overcast stitch to 4mm so that the needle does not contact the middle bar. If this is a genuine part from Brother, since it ships and sold by Amazon, please consider quality consistency of your products since might cause issue with computerized machine’s auto stitching settings. Always hand crank to test first before speeding up your foot pedal.

This is one of the best sewing items I have ever bought! I can’t believe I waited so long. This is a great alternative to a serger

I'm new to sewing, and I really liked finished edges so I've seriously considered investing in a serger at some point. I read reviews from people who considered this foot an affordable alternative to a serger. I'm very happy with it. I like how the fabric is guided right through neatly. It's easy to use, and it fit my sewing machine well. So far, I'm in love! No serger for this lady for now :)

Ich habe diesen Nähmaschinenfuß für meine "normale" Nähmaschine gekauft, um bei elastischen Stoffen besser den Überwendlingsstich nutzen zu können. Nachdem ich erstmal nachgeschlagen habe, welche Stichbreite ich dafür brauche, hat das Nähen mit dem Fuß dann auch wunderbar geklappt. Er macht es deutlich leichter, weil der Stoff an der richtigen Stelle liegt.

This foot works perfectly with my Brother JX2217. This foot is a blessing : overlocking is now so easy to do on my machine. The fabric just glides through the foot and it's not a bummer anymore. If you're hesitating : go for it! You'll definitely not regret it. It's also cheaper than the ones they sell on the Brother official Website. Win/win ! ------------------------------ Ce pied fonctionne parfaitement avec ma Brother JX2217. C'est aussi une merveille : les points de surjets sont maintenant très faciles à réaliser sur ma machine. Le tissu glisse sans effort sous le pied et ça rend la tâche vraiment plus facile. N'hésitez surtout pas à l'acheter, vous ne le regretterez pas! Le pied est également moins cher que ceux en vente sur le site officiel de Brother. C'est parfait!

Estoy muy contenta con la compra, cuenta con la función que esperaba (la del over, solo que se tiene que comprar la pieza a parte)

Come previsto

Not really overlock, but does the job
