Create evenly spaced echo quilting around appliqué, motifs, shapes, and other designs with the Handi Quilter Echo Feet Kit – HG00525. This set includes three specialty quilting feet, each fitted with an acrylic ring that extends beyond the hopping foot to provide a fixed echoing interval.
Instead of estimating spacing or repeatedly measuring your design, select the Echo Foot with the interval you want and use its outer edge as a guide while quilting. Handi Quilter specifically recommends these feet for creating consistent echo lines around motifs and for use with rulers.

Part #HG00525
Handi Quilter demonstrates using the edge of the Echo Foot as a guide against an appliqué or motif to maintain the selected echo distance.
How the Echo Feet Work
A standard HQ ruler foot provides approximately a 1/4" distance from the needle to the edge of the foot. The Echo Feet extend this spacing with acrylic rings, giving you three additional fixed intervals:
This makes it easier to follow the edge of a motif or appliqué while maintaining the selected distance as you quilt.
Compatibility
The HG00525 Echo Feet Kit is compatible with HQ machines equipped with the appropriate interchangeable/optional foot mount. The current Handi Quilter product listing provides both Handi Feet Mount and Quick Change Mount options.
For older Handi Quilter machines:
Important: The Echo Feet are not a universal presser-foot set. Compatibility depends on the machine's foot-mount configuration.
