On the Brother Innovis the pressure on the presser foot is adjustable, reduce the pressure and this should float nicely. As someone else mentioned this is intended for heavier battings.

Is there a floating setting on the machine (probably hidden in a tool menu). This foot doesn't look like it will 'hop' so it will hold the fabric unless you can find out how to make it 'float'. You may also find that once it is floating you can quilt with your feed dogs up. I do this on my machine and I love it.

Try the Brother website -- they probably have a "CONTACT US" link where you can send them your question.

Laura, I have a similar foot for my Janome and they told me that it was for quilting with thicker poly batting
that "bounces". It is to hold the batting down near the needle. I haven't tried it, so can't vouch for the info.

I am not familiar with the Brother machine, but maybe you need to reduce the presser foot PRESSURE? Check your manual and see if there is a way to do that on your machine.

I tried it for free motion quilting, but even with the feed dogs down, it holds the fabric in place so you really have to tug on the fabric to move it. That's not right is it? Or am I doing something wrong?

And it will probably work better if you lower your feed dogs for the free motion quilting.

It's for free motion quilting, it's meant to make seeing your work easier as it's clear. You can also use the edge or the embossed inner ring as a distance guide if you're echo quilting something.

I got this sewing foot with my Brother Innovis and was told it was for quilting but I have never used it. Any help out there?
