Open embroidery foot 20D as standard presser foot.

The accessory of the month is one of my favorite presser feet! For years, I use the open embroidery foot 20D as standard presser foot. The real standard presser foot has a slightly better pressure on the fabric, but I like the open view so much more that I mostly sew with the Open Embroidery Foot #20 on the machine.
