Do I need specific presser foot for my serger?

My original presser foot broke. I have a few fitteds I want to make and I can't serge w/out a presser foot. Can I use one of the other 5?? LOl or where can I get the presser foot that came ON the machine? TIA!

What kind of machine do you have? I would just start searching around by your machine name. You might be able to get one on ebay. Otherwise, try calling a local sewing machine store. They should be able to order any part for you (theoretically).

Well actually i found out that The Stitching Post in my Joann can order one. But i haven't had my machine a year and the lady there said i should contact White and they might replace it for free i can't find any of my warranty info though so I'm not sure...thanks though.

What are the other 5 presser feet for? You might be able to use one of them, depends on their specific function. If I was desperate, I would try each of them one at a time with some scrap fabric about the same thickness as the diapers you are going to serge and see what happens! Good luck! Machine Problems are awful!

I don't think the other feet are going to work for regular sewing. Do you have a manual? It should have a part # for that foot. You can then go on ebay and look up that number and see if any feet are availablle as well. Or google it and you may come up with a faster way to get the part too. Hth's
