How to use (some of) the feet, and my thoughts
So far, I have two issues with the product, but they are minor, so I am rating 5 stars for the product quality and usefulness.
Firstly, there is no Embroidex branding on the packaging. I don't know if that's typical of these products, so it's not a MAJOR concern.
Secondly, most of these are snap-on, requiring a snap-in adapter which my 20+ year old sewing machine didn't come with, so be aware of that! (Obviously, you can see that in the picture, but many reviews comment that these presser feet are not compatible with their machines.)
The box doesn't bother me, as I will likely move these into a sectioned plastic container, putting the cardboard cutouts underneath them presser feet.
Now, as for product quality, I adore it...the feet are of great quality and I have no complaints about function for the pieces that I played around with so far. If I have any, this review will be updated.
Below, I have included a collection of YouTube links for what feet I have looked into and used.
Please note that some have the same basic use instructions as others and I did my best to notate everything.
Also, the machine you have may not be able to do the stitch required to use the foot in the way shown. For that, you may need to look at a different resource on how to use that presser foot.
