ABSTRACT:
A rotatable presser foot for use in a sewing machine having a sewing station. The rotatable presser foot comprises a foot member and a coupler for detachably and adjustably coupling the foot member to a needle bar in the sewing machine so that the foot member can be rotatably adjusted about a center axis of the needle bar. The coupler comprises a bracket which is adjustably fastened to the needle bar and a foot support on which the foot member can be adjustably secured. The coupler also comprises a resilient coupling located between the foot support and bracket so as to permit the foot member to be resiliently biased towards a sewing surface at the sewing station. The rotatable presser foot can be rotated to any predetermined location about the axis of the needle bar, thereby facilitating sewing workpieces of different shapes and configurations.
