I have an old Kenmore (low shank, screw on feet) and a couple of newer Brothers (low shank, snap on feet). Make sure that the set is correct for your type of machine. I've also purchased generic individual feet (Little Foot, Binding Foot) from a Chinese vendor for less than $5 each and have been pleased with them.

I have used generic feet on my Janome, Brother, Singer all with no problems. The only machine that didn't like the one generic foot was my Babylock and it of course was the most expensive foot the darning foot. I don't know what the problem was literally they look identical but I can not do FMQ using the generic one. If you order make sure that they accept returns.

I have a Babylock and only use BL feet. Not that generic wouldn't work..I've just never tried it.

I've purchased several generic feet for my brother and been very happy with them.

I bought a set of these - and have used them on all three of my Pfaffs(2170, 2058 creative 2.0), my brother cs6000i and even on my featherweight. They work just fine for me.

Do you have a low shank or high shank machine? I have so many feet for Janome machines as I inherited my sisters, and have two machines of my own with a third on the way. Some of these attachments I'll never use. To me, it would be cheaper to purchase only the attachments that you really want and need and not 30 that you will never use.

My low end Brother, my Babylock Ellure Plus, my Singer Quantum 9940, and my Featherweight all take the same low shank feet and are interchangeable with the snap-on attachment. I even bought the attachment foot for my Bernina that allows "other" feet to be used. If the shank is the same, they all should work. The only thing I would buy specific to the machine is a walking foot as the spacing of the feed dogs are all different on different machines, but the "generic" feet have worked well for me. Good luck.

Save yourself a lot of time, heartache and money, buy the feet made for your machine. I was buying generic feet, especially the walking foot, but none fit my Bernina. I wrote to the company and I was amazed to learn I was buying the wrong feet. My Bernina 1008 is an "old style" model. My next purchase is the "correctly" numbered free motion foot

I have a set that works well on all of my Pfaffs.
