Is this good for pressing open seams?

Yes, I keep it close by whenever I work. I don't need to have my big iron on all the time for the small pressing work.

It would work fine for pressing seams open. I have used it for batting tape. It's just the right size.

I use a single stage press for my crimping..... save up and get the 5 hole turret press to many issues with this press

It can be used to knock off the high spots if you are very careful, but it won't come even close to what a real jointer would do for you. On the other hand, if the seam doesn't have to be furniture quality, it should do nicely.

It is used to get a 1/4 in seem in quilting. I use it all the time. Hope this helps!

I don't think this works well with thick fabrics. I tried using it with some thick fabrics and they simply didn't fit through the channel. Since it's metal, there's no give. However, if you're doing potholders, it might be squishy enough to compress and make it through. I've found it to be a really useful foot to have around for other uses though. It works great on everything except thick stuff. Also good to note that it doesn't accept double wide bias tape.

This is a great tool. I used it for putting on hundreds of planks for a fence. That said, in my opinion, I don't think it would be good for reupholstering. I would look for something with a wider staple. This one is very narrow.

I really like it for quilting. It stays hot, and I can use the point on either end for pressing. I recommend it.

I use it strictly for free motion quilting. I could not use the foot pedal and keep a consistent speed. My thread kept breaking. Now , I am able to control the speed as I am quilting and getting better results.

I think it would. Have not used it for that purpose. I would apply with a tool to make sure it fills in the seam you are filling.

I use it for small jobs requiring more heat than a propane torch. I found it to be useful for small automotive jobs. If your fabricating jobs are light gauge metal, then you should be ok.

I haven't used this presser foot much as I find it difficult to use.. However, in my playing around with it I've used double fold tape and it seemed to work better than the single fold.

I think it would give you enough pressure. This is a great little machine. I threw away my iron! Hoe this helps!

Try a penny or a small flat tip screwdriver and gently lift at the seam. It should open easily.

Yes, I've used it with the ball joint press and the 12 ton floor press as well.

No not to my knowledge! I bought the Singer clothes Press which is Awesome for pressing and putting a crease in pants!!

Yes it does work well. The burst is strong and I use the function often when pressing pieces when quilting.

I used this on our Fifth Wheel. I did every seam and it worked great. I think it will do fine, just know that once it touches the surface, it doesn't come back up.
