The foot that comes with it is pretty much a 1/4" Just measure to make sure it's a 1/4" if not I use painter tape to mark the 1/4" on my machines. I would get a walking foot if I were you to go though thick layers to keep it from puckering and you can buy them for around $20. I know some will tell you you need a spiecal walking foot with the single but I have a double feet (zig zag machines) that I use on all my machines including the Featherweight and have had no problems. Just make sure you buy a low shank walking foot.
