Presser Foot

Metal device that touches the goods being embroidered while the needle is in the goods. The main function of the presser foot is to hold the material being embroidered until the hook point catches the thread loop formed by the needle rise.

Note: On home machines, the embroidery presser foot may be plastic. The presser foot comes down to create the stitch then lifts to travel to the next stitch coordinate.
