Most of these presser feet came with my sewing machine. I’d say that I stay with the all purpose foot for comfort, and with the zipper foot and buttonhole feet when I must. But I hardly felt necessary to use the others until I realized what they could do.
I've written about the Narrow Hemmer foot and the Buttonhole foot in my July Aha. So I won't bore you with these same two feet.
Blind hem presser foot does wonders--neat, close to the edge stitches. Life before blind hem foot was having my fabric fed right into the needle plate whenever I attempted to sew close to the edge. Ok, let's not go back there...
Got a quilting foot for I just could not see where I was stitching when I appliqued. This presser foot has "an open toe", allowing you to guide your stitches. The problem was that the presser foot shank screw did not fit my machine. I needed to improvise. So I used an unbended paper clip instead. What can I say, it did the job.
The 1/4" quilting foot aka piecing foot is great for sewing 1/4" or 1/8" seams. The presser foot has 3 red markings at the needle, 1/8" and 1/4", making your sewing precise when you have a rectangular-4-side job.

Here's a link from Viking that has great illustrations of how a piecing foot works:
I am not a quilter, but I could imagine how quilters could not live without this baby.
